Analysis

NAICS 111422 is the 2022 national industry for floriculture production, part of 11142 (Nursery and Floriculture Production). Census lists 14 example activities under it in the official index.

Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include bedding plant growing (except vegetable and melon bedding…, cultivated florist greens growing, cut flower growing and cut rose growing, among 14 in all.

Its goods appear in 17 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 0603 (cut flowers and flower buds of a kind suitable for bouquets…), 1209 (seeds, fruits and spores of a kind used for sowing) and 0604 (foliage, branches and other parts of plants, without…). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.

For example, retailing floriculture products primarily purchased from others are classified in 444240 (Nursery, Garden Center, and Farm Supply Retailers) instead.

Census lists 1 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 444240. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.

County Business Patterns does not cover crop and animal production, so there is no establishment count for it; farms are counted by the Census of Agriculture instead.
