County Crop Report Los Angeles County 2008 Crop and Livestock Report Highlights The total gross value of agricultural crops and commodities produced in Los Angeles County during 2008 was $226,191,000. This value reflects a 10.7% decrease from last year's total of $253,368,000. Although this is the fourth consecutive year that overall production values have decreased in Los Angeles County, we have had two consecutive years of impressive growth in several agricultural commodity groups. Field crops (grain and alfalfa hay) were up by 31.3% and 11.5%, respectively, due to significant price increases. Root vegetable crops were up by 48.7% due to increased production and stronger prices. A significant increase in the production and market value of honey resulted in a production value increase of 510%. While overall production value of fruit and nut crops dropped by 16.5%, avocado and cherry yields and values rebounded from the effects of the freeze that occurred in January 2007. Avocado production values increased by 185% and cherry production values increased by an impressive 600%. Nursery products remain the number one crop in Los Angeles County by a wide margin. This year, again, our growers and those throughout California have faced some of the most challenging circumstances confronting them in years. The tremendous downturn in the economy, pressures from increased importation of agricultural products, and pest threats add to the many challenges, but our hardworking agricultural community continues to feed, clothe, and enhance the quality of life for millions. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to each of the producers and individuals who provided information for this report. My thanks are extended to the skilled and dedicated people of this department who continue to do an excellent job in serving and protecting the agricultural community and in compiling these important statistics.
