NAICS 111320

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the production-oriented standard U.S. federal statistical agencies use to classify business establishments for data collection and publication. Developed under the Office of Management and Budget with partners in Canada and Mexico, NAICS replaced SIC in 1997; the latest U.S. vintage is 2022.¹

NAICS 111320 — Citrus (except Orange) Groves — covers establishments primarily engaged in growing citrus fruits other than oranges, such as grapefruit, lemons, limes, mandarins/tangerines, and tangelos. It resides in Sector 11 (Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting), where production is defined to the point of first sale (“farm gate”). Agencies and data users apply this code to attribute agricultural production activity for these specific citrus crops.²

What this NAICS covers

• Establishments growing citrus fruits other than oranges as their primary agricultural output.²
• Grapefruit grove operations intended for commercial sale.²
• Lemon and lime groves cultivated for fresh market or raw product sales.²
• Tangerine and mandarin groves, including clementines and related varieties.²
• Tangelos and other non-orange citrus hybrids grown in groves.²
• Citrus grove establishments that own, operate, and manage production up to the point of first sale (“farm gate”).²

Classification notes and boundaries

• Oranges are excluded from NAICS 111320; establishments primarily growing oranges fall under NAICS 111310.²
• Processing activities (e.g., canning or artificial drying of fruit) are outside Sector 11 crop production and are classified in manufacturing, such as NAICS 31142 for Fruit and Vegetable Canning, Pickling, and Drying.²
• Sector 11 classifies crop production to the “farm gate”; support-only services are classified in Subsector NAICS 115, Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry.²

Frequently asked questions

• What activities are included in NAICS 111320?

  • Growing citrus fruits other than oranges, including grapefruit, lemons, limes, mandarins/tangerines, and tangelos. The scope is agricultural production up to first sale; post-harvest processing (e.g., canning or drying) is out of scope.²

• How does NAICS 111320 differ from NAICS 111310?

  • The distinction is crop-based: 111320 covers non-orange citrus; 111310 covers oranges. Establishments are classified by their primary activity, generally the largest share of production value.¹

• Are packing, canning, or drying included under NAICS 111320?

  • No. Sector 11 production typically ends at the “farm gate.” Activities like packing for shipment may be post-harvest, and processing such as canning or artificial drying is classified in manufacturing (e.g., NAICS 31142).²

• Which PSCs are commonly used when buying citrus products grown under this industry?

  • Fresh and raw citrus products often map to PSC 8915 Fruits and Vegetables; processed citrus spreads (e.g., marmalade) align with PSC 8930 Jams, Jellies, and Preserves.⁴

• Where are the official definitions for NAICS 111320?

  • Definitions are published by the U.S. Census Bureau in the 2022 NAICS Manual and on the NAICS website’s Sector 11 pages for Fruit and Tree Nut Farming.¹
