NAICS 111130

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the framework federal statistical programs use to categorize business establishments for collecting, analyzing, and publishing data about the U.S. economy. Developed under the Office of Management and Budget and adopted in 1997 to replace SIC, NAICS enables cross-country comparability across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The current classification vintage in use is 2022. ¹

NAICS 111130 covers establishments primarily engaged in growing dried peas, dry edible beans, and/or lentils. Within Sector 11 (Crop Production), activities are classified to this industry when these pulse crops account for at least half of an establishment’s agricultural production value; the production process typically ends at the “farm gate” (point of first sale or price determination). ²

• Classification to this industry when dried peas, beans, and/or lentils constitute one-half or more of crop output value. ²

Frequently asked questions

• What activities are classified under NAICS 111130?

  Establishments primarily engaged in growing dried peas, dry edible beans, and/or lentils, with these pulse crops accounting for at least half of agricultural production value. Activities typically end at the “farm gate,” where the first sale or price is determined. ²

• Are fresh green beans or fresh peas included in NAICS 111130?

  No. Fresh-market beans and peas (sold as vegetables) are classified in NAICS 111219. NAICS 111130 is limited to dry peas, dry edible beans, and lentils sold as dried pulses. ²

• How are mixed-crop farms classified if they grow pulses and other crops?

  Use NAICS 111130 when dried peas, dry edible beans, and/or lentils constitute one-half or more of the establishment’s crop production value; otherwise classify to the crop industry that represents the largest share of production value. ²

• Does NAICS 111130 include postharvest services like cleaning, grading, or shelling for others?

  No. Establishments primarily performing postharvest crop activities for others (e.g., cleaning, shelling, sorting, grading) are classified in NAICS 115114. On-farm handling that is incidental to your own crop production remains within NAICS 111130. ²

• Is food processing (e.g., canning, retail packaging, dehydrating) covered by NAICS 111130?

  No. Food manufacturing activities are outside Crop Production. For example, dried or dehydrated food manufacturing aligns to NAICS 311423, while farming ends at the farm gate where the first sale/price is established. ²
