Economic Importance of Agri-food Industries in Iowa
This study investigates the value of Iowa’s agri-food industries. The investigators define the agri-food industries to include agricultural production, primary food processing, other agricultural commodity processing, and agricultural input manufacturing and distribution activities. These definitions are used to aggregate data obtained from the IMPLAN economic impact modeling system to generate both industry-specific estimates of output value and value added in production and an export-based analysis of agri-food exports from Iowa which include all Iowa-sourced input values.
