Part I--Proposed New Industry Structure for Crop Production; Animal
Production; Forestry and Logging; Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping; and Support
Activities for Agriculture and Forestry
Section A--NAICS Structure
North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS)
Agreement Number 4
This Document represents the proposed agreement on the structure of the North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS) for the following industries:
Crop Production
Animal Production
Forestry and Logging
Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping
Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry
The detailed NAICS structure along with a brief description of the structure is attached
(Attachments 1 and 2). Each country agrees to release a copy of the proposed NAICS
structure to interested data users. Comments received will be shared among the countries and
additional discussions will be held before a final decision on the structure is made. Each
country may add additional detailed industries, below the 4-digit level of NAICS, as
necessary to meet national needs, so long as this additional detail aggregates to a 4-digit
NAICS level in order to ensure full comparability among the three countries. This NAICS
structure was presented and provisionally accepted at the NAICS Committee meeting held on
August 30, 1995 - September 1, 1995 in Washington, DC.

Attachment 2--North American Industry Classification System
Draft Classification for:
Crop Production
Animal Production
Forestry and Logging
Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping
Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry
Representatives of the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico, and the United States agree
to a draft industry classification for these industries.
The draft classification applies to the five subsectors, Crop Production; Animal Production;
Forestry and Logging; Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping; and Support Activities for
Agriculture and Forestry. These subsectors are sub-divided into twenty industry groups and
forty-three industries. The subsectors are part of the Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing, Hunting,
and Trapping sector of the classification.
A General Outline
The Crop Production industries involve growing crops mainly for food and fiber. The
industries are grouped by similarity of production activity, biological and physiological
characteristics, and economic requirements. The length of growing season, degree of crop
rotation, extent of input specialization, labor requirements, and capital demands were taken
into account when developing the industry structure. The production process is typically
completed when the raw product or commodity grown reaches the "farm gate" for market or
point of first sale or price determination.
The subsector Animal Production involves raising animals. These animals are kept for
eventual sale and gain in product value. The animals may be raised in various environments,
from total confinement or captivity to controlled grazing on open range pasture.
The Forestry and Logging subsector involves timber tract and other forest operations. A
distinction has been made for the length of the production cycle for wood products. The
production of short rotation woody crops such as cut Christmas trees and cottonwoods for
pulpwood are considered to be agricultural crop production, and so have been placed in
Nursery and Floriculture Production. The typical life cycle of this process is ten years or less.
On the other hand, timber production often requires fifty years.
The Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping subsector includes establishments engaged in the
harvesting of animals in a natural habitat. Activities involving the raising of animals in
captivity for eventual sale or market are classified in Animal Production, e.g., Animal
Aquaculture, Fur-bearing Animal and Rabbit Production, and so forth.
The Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry include activities that support growing
crops, raising animals and producing forest products. These activities are in a separate
agricultural, forestry, fishing, hunting, and trapping subsector. These establishments provide
an alternative source of inputs required for the production process for a given crop, animal, or
forestry industry.
Limitations and Constraints of the Classification
There are some analytical needs that cannot be met by an industry classification. There are
needs for information on the total production of various agriculture commodities. However,
because of vertical integration and multiple activities occurring at a single farm, an industry
classification system will not provide this information. For example, wine-making
establishments that produce their own grapes will be included in the Wines, Brandy and
Brandy Spirits industry not the Tree Nut and Noncitrus Fruit Farming industry.
Though the industries are defined by similarities in the types and quantities of inputs per
unit of output used in production, data users should be aware that certain differences in
technologies and cultivating or production practices exist within industries.
There are a few factors that constrained the structure and detail of the classification in the
area under consideration. In the Crop and Animal Production subsectors, most activities
present in one country exist in the others. However, often an activity is not economically
significant to the same degree in all countries due to factors such as climate and soil
conditions. For example, cotton cannot be grown in Canada. Further, data for some
significant activities cannot be published for a particular country for reasons of
confidentiality. Finally, the way activities are combined in establishments differs to some
extent in the different countries.
Economic significance in each country also influenced the development of the
classification structure. For example, apple production is significant in the three countries but
fruit production, excluding apples in Canada, is too small for separate publication at the
industry level. Each country will publish additional categories that comprise subdivisions of
the NAICS industries to present data for activities that are nationally significant.
Relationship with ISIC
Most 4-digit NAICS industries in these subsectors are contained within Division 01,
Agriculture, Hunting and Related Service Activities of the current International Standard
Industrial Classification of all Economic Activities (ISIC, Revision 3) of the United Nations.
Data tabulated using NAICS can be retabulated according to ISIC with one exception: Tree
Nut and Noncitrus Fruit Farming cannot be assigned to an ISIC division without being sub-
divided since integrated grape growing and wine manufacturing are classified in ISIC as an
agricultural activity and in NAICS as a manufacturing activity.
Some Changes to the National Classifications
For Canada, Mexico, and the United States, an industry group is created for root, tuber,
and peanut farming. The grouping includes industry activities for potatoes, sugar beets,
peanuts, and other root-type crops, except vegetables. Canada previously classified these
establishments in field crops and the U.S. in field crops, except cash grains. In Mexico, the
industries were classified in CMAP 111102 or 111103 as short-cycle crops.
Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry is redefined for Canada, Mexico, and the
United States. This subsector contains the following industry groups: Support Activities for
Crop Production, Support Activities for Animal Production, and Support Activities for
Forestry. The CSIC Major Group 02, Service Industries Incidental to Agriculture, is included
in the NAICS Support Activities subsector with some exceptions, namely veterinary services,
companion animal services except breeding, certain research activities, and selected activities
related to ornamental plants. For Mexico, the activities included in this subsector are moved
from CMAP 971010. For the United States, support activities include 1987 SIC Industry
Group 085, Forestry Services, and 1987 SIC Major Group 07, Agricultural Services, with the
exception of veterinary services, landscape and horticultural services, animal specialty
services, except breeding and equine support activities.
For the United States, cotton ginning has been moved to Miscellaneous Manufacturing as a
separate 4-digit NAICS industry. Cotton ginning is the mechanical process of removing the
seed from the cotton lint. The activity generally takes place "off the farm" at a cotton gin.
For Canada and the U.S., the new industry group Grain and Oilseed Farming constitutes a
change in the crop production structure. It essentially replaces the CSIC industry group Field
Crop Farms and the 1987 SIC Industry Group 011, Cash Grains.
Orange Groves are a separate crop farming industry for Mexico and the United States.
Historically, Mexico and the U.S. classified these establishments in Growing of Fruit Trees
and Citrus Fruits, respectively.
Canadian Poultry and Egg Farms and Mexican Poultry Farms are disaggregated into
Chicken Egg Production, Broiler and Other Meat-type Chicken Production, and Turkey
Production. These NAICS industries plus Poultry Hatcheries and Other Poultry Production
form the industry group Poultry Production. The new industries reflect the structure and
current production practices within each country.
Animal Aquaculture is a new industry for both Canada and Mexico. The Canadian
industry, Services Incidental to Fishing, has been deleted since the other activities within the
industry were either identified as non-existent or were more appropriately classified
elsewhere. In Mexico, aquaculture has been moved from the fishing subsector 13 to Animal
Production to be consistent with the production oriented principle. In the U.S., Fish
Hatcheries and Preserves classified in 1987 SIC 0921 and fish propagation in captivity are
included in this industry group.
For Mexico, the CMAP class 111212 for hunting is moved to the NAICS subsector
Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping.
For the U.S., a new industry will exist for apiculture.
The subsector Forestry and Logging includes logging, formerly in the U.S. Manufacturing
1987 SIC 2411. As a production activity, the harvesting of standing timber or logging is
more similar to the harvesting of agricultural crops than the processing of harvested wood
products, the primary activity of the 1987 SIC Major Group 24, Lumber and Wood Products,
except Furniture. The production activity for the forestry industry is narrowly defined to be
long-term timber growth. Short rotation timber growth and its harvesting is placed in the
NAICS industry for Nursery and Floriculture Production.
Achievement of Objectives
The classification meets the objectives for the North American Industry Classification
System. It is comprised of industries that group establishments with similar production
processes, that is, it applies the production-oriented economic concept. In the main, the
hierarchical structure of the classification also follows the production concept.
The classification achieves comparability for the three participating countries. Based on
existing data, all three countries expect to be able to publish data regularly at the industry, (4-
digit) level of the structure. All countries agree on the definitions of the industries.
Other objectives of the NAICS project such as the inclusion of new and emerging
industries, service industries, and advanced technology producing industries were not as
relevant in this area of the classification as in others. This is due to the relatively well
established and technological stable nature of the agricultural and related subsectors.
The industries have high specialization ratios, and with the exception of citrus and cotton
farming in Canada and dual purpose cattle farming in Canada and the United States, they are
economically significant. Smaller industries are present because comparability is given
priority over size. Finally, disruptions to time series have been kept to a minimum. Most of
the changes to existing classifications are marginal. The major changes have been identified
and can be taken into account in linking time series.
Section B-Annex: United States National Industry Detail
As explained in the Structure presentation of this notice, for a number of reasons 4-digit
industries in the three NAICS industry subsectors presented in Part 1, Section A--Attachment
1, contain less detail than is currently in the U.S. SIC system, and less detail than is required
to meet important analytical requirements in the U.S. The three country agreement on NAICS
envisions that each country may develop national detailed industries below the NAICS
industry level, so long as the national detail can be aggregated to the NAICS classification,
thus assuring full North American comparability.
The ECPC is proposing U.S. 5-digit industry detail for the five NAICS industry subsectors
covered in Part I of this notice. For cases where no 5-digit detail is shown, the ECPC is
proposing that the NAICS 4-digit industries will also represent the most detailed U.S.
industries.

Elsewhere Classified.

Description of Changes to the U. S. System
A number of the changes listed in this section were made for reasons of
international comparability. Where one or more of the three North American countries
had different definitions of an industry classification, adjustments to the definitions in
one or more countries were required. In constructing NAICS, the three countries
agreed to move, where change was required to attain international comparability, in
the direction of the country or countries whose existing classification definitions most
closely corresponded to the production-oriented concept adopted for NAICS. Cases
where the U.S. changed are listed below; other cases where Canada or Mexico moved
toward the U.S. classification are not, of course, listed in this section.
Crop Production - There were 13 new industries added to the 1997 industry
structure in this industry subsector. New industries were created for:
Oilseed Farming, Except Soybean Farming and Dry Pea and Bean Farming from
part of 1987 SIC 0119, Cash Grains, NEC, in response to a proposal and to achieve
international comparability.
Sugarbeet Farming and Sugarcane Farming from 1987 SIC 0133, Sugar Cane and
Sugar Beets, to recognize significant industries with unique production processes and
to achieve international comparability.
Peanut Farming, Other Root and Tuber Farming, and Hay Farming from part of
1987 SIC 0139, Field Crops, Except Cash Grains, NEC, to recognize industries with
unique production processes and to achieve international comparability.
Orange Groves from part of 1987 SIC 0174, Citrus Fruits, to recognize an existing
large industry with a unique production process.
Apple Orchards from part of 1987 SIC 0175, Deciduous Tree Fruits, to recognize an
existing large industry with a unique production process.
Strawberry Farming from part of 1987 SIC 0171, Berry Crops, to recognize an
existing large berry industry.
Mushroom Production from part of 1987 SIC 0182, Food Crop Grown Under
Cover, in response to a data user's proposal and to achieve international comparability.
Nursery and Tree Production from part of 1987 SIC 0181, Ornamental Nursery
Product, and part of 1987 SIC 0811, Timber Tract Operations, to achieve international
comparability.
Floriculture Production from part of 1987 SIC 0181, Ornamental Nursery Products,
to recognize an existing large industry with a unique production process.
Two activities were transferred into the 1997 Crop Production subsector.
Short rotation woody crops (e.g., Christmas trees) farming was transferred from part
of 1987 SIC 0811, Timber Tracts, into Nursery and Tree Production, in response to a
proposal and because of similar production processes. Christmas trees and other
woody products life cycle is typically less than ten years in contrast to trees growing in
forests with a much longer growth cycle.
Maple sap gathering was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0831, Forest Products,
into All Other Crop Production in response to an industry proposal. The production of
maple syrup at the site where maple sap is gathered is included in All Other Crop
Production while the production of maple syrup at a separate location is in the
Manufacturing sector of NAICS. Also, there were several activities that transferred
within the crop production industry group. The number of crop production industries
increased from 20 in 1987 to 29 in 1997. For time series linkage, 16 of the 20 1987
industries are comparable within three percent of the 1997 industries.
Animal Production - There were five new industries added to the 1997 industry
structure for this industry subsector. New industries were created for:
Sheep Farming and Goat Farming from 1987 SIC 0214, Sheep and Goats, to
achieve international comparability with Mexico.
Finfish Production and Shellfish Production from part of 1987 SIC 0273, Animal
Aquaculture, to recognize emerging industries with unique production processes.
Apiculture from part of 1987 SIC 0279, Animal Specialties, NEC, to achieve
international comparability.
Dual Purpose Cattle Ranching and Farming will be a null industry for the United
States.
One activity transferred into the 1997 Animal Production industry subsector.
Fish Hatcheries were transferred from 1987 SIC 0921, Fish Hatcheries and
Preserves, into Animal Aquaculture, to reflect a production process for fish propagated
in captivity.
A few activities were transferred within the animal production industry group. The
number of animal production industries increased from 16 in 1987 to 19 in 1997. For
time series linkage, 13 of the 16 1987 industries are comparable within three percent
of the 1997 industries.
Forestry and Logging - Three activities were transferred out of the 1987 Major
Group 08, Forestry.
Short rotation woody crops (e.g., Christmas trees) were transferred from part of
1987 SIC 0811, Timber Tracts, into Nursery and Tree Production to reflect similar
production processes based on the length of the commodities growth cycle.
Maple sap gathering was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0831, Forest Products,
into part of All Other Crop Production in response to an industry proposal.
1987 SIC 0851, Forestry Services, was transferred into the 1997 Support Activities
for Crop and Animal Production and Forestry subsector, to reflect similar production
support processes.
One activity was transferred into 1997 Forestry and Logging Industry subsector.
1987 SIC 2411, Logging, was transferred into this subsector because the production
process is more clearly aligned to forestry and for international comparability.
The number of 1997 forestry and logging industries remained unchanged at three
from 1987. For time series linkage, only one of the three 1987 industries are
comparable within three percent of the 1997 industries.
Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping - Two activities were transferred out of the 1987
Major Group 09, Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping.
Fish hatcheries were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0921, Fish Hatcheries and
Preserves, into Finfish Hatcheries and Shellfish Hatcheries, to reflect production
processes for fish propagated in captivity.
Fish preserves were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0921, Fish Hatcheries and
Preserves, into 1997 NAICS Museums, Historical Sites and Similar Institutions
subsector, to reflect similar production processes.
Also, there were several activities that transferred within the fishing, hunting and
trapping industries. The number of fishing, hunting, and trapping industries decreased
from five in 1987 to four in 1997. For time series linkage, four of the 1987 industries
are comparable within three percent of the 1997 industries.
Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry - There was one new industry added
to the industry structure for this subsector. An industry was created for:
Support Activities for Animal Production from part of 1987 SIC 0751, Livestock
Services, Except Veterinary; 0752, Animal Specialty Services, Except Veterinary; and
7699, Repair Services, NEC, to reflect similar production processes.
Eight activities were transferred out of 1987 SIC Major Group 07, Agriculture
Services.
Cotton Ginning was transferred into the NAICS Miscellaneous Manufacturing
subsector, to achieve international comparability
Veterinary Services for Livestock, 1987 SIC 0741, and Veterinary Services for
Animal Specialties, 1987 SIC 0742, will be combined and transferred into one of the
1997 services industry subsectors, to achieve international comparability. Also, the
services require very specialized input and highly skilled workers not found in other
support activities for animal production.
Custom slaughtering was transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0751, Livestock
Services, Except Veterinary, into the 1997 manufacturing industry subsector Food
Product Manufacturing, to reflect a similar production process.
Animal Specialty Services, Except Veterinary were transferred from part of 1987
SIC 0752, Animal Specialty Services, Except Veterinary, into one of the new service
industry subsectors, to reflect unique production processes. Services for horses and
equines and activities related to breeding of animals will be in Support Activities for
Animal Production.
Farm Management Services, 1987 SIC 0762, will be integrated with the particular
crop production industries they serve. For example, "citrus grove management and
maintenance" will be classified with Orange Groves or Other Citrus Groves,
depending on the crop managed. If there is not a dominant cropping activity, crop
farm management services will be placed with the 4-digit NAICS industry, All Other
Crop Farming. Activities are grouped together that have similar production processes.
Landscape architects and landscape planning was transferred from part of 1987 SIC
0781, Landscape Counseling and Planning, into 1997 NAICS subsector, Professional,
Technical, and Scientific Services, to reflect similar production processes involving
similar inputs and particularly skills in architecture and planning.
Garden planning horticulture advisory and counseling services were transferred
from part of 1987 SIC 0781, Landscape Counseling and Planning, into one of the 1997
services industries, to achieve international comparability and separate out non-crop
production activities.
Lawn and garden care services, excluding installation and initial planting activities
were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 0782, Lawn and Garden Services, and 1987
SIC 0783, Ornamental Shrub and Tree Service, was transferred partly into one of the
new 1997 services industries. Lawn and garden installation and initial planting of
materials were transferred into the Construction Industries sector, to reflect similar
production processes. Also, this achieves international comparability with Canada that
now divides these industries between construction and services.
Two activities were transferred into the NAICS Support Activities for Agriculture
and Forestry subsector.
1987 SIC 0851, Forestry Services, were transferred into the industry group, Support
Activities for Forestry, to reflect similar production processes, i.e., support activities
for agriculture and forestry.
Farriers (Blacksmith Shops) were transferred from part of 1987 SIC 7699, Repair
Services, NEC, into the industry group, Support Activities for Animal Production, to
achieve international comparability. This activity provides direct support to the animal
production subsector.
Also, there were several activities that transferred within the support activities for
crop and animal production and forestry industries. The number of support activities
for crop and animal production and forestry industry decreased from 14 in 1987 to 6 in
1997. For time series linkage, 11 of the 14 1987 industries are comparable within
three percent of the 1997 industries.
