Abstract

The foliage industry is the most rapidly expanding segment of commercial agriculture in Florida [1]. The industry accounted for about $13 million of the agricultural income in 1966 and over $187 million in 1975. The area in production in the state has more than doubled in the last ten years; it was increased from about 26 million square feet in 1966 to just over 65 million square feet in 1975. Nurserymen were expected to expand their production area by about 8.6 million square feet during 1976 [14].This rapid increase in production area has been from expansion of established producers and entry of new growers into the industry. The producers increased from 163 in 1966 to 262 in 1975. The average foliage nurseryman participating in the Florida Cooperative Extension nursery business analysis program expanded employment from 23 employees in 1970 to 30 in 1975.
