NAICS 111336

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the federal statistical standard for organizing establishments by industry for economic data collection and publication. Developed under the Office of Management and Budget with the Economic Classification Policy Committee, and jointly with Statistics Canada and Mexico’s INEGI, NAICS was adopted in 1997 to replace the SIC; the latest revision is the 2022 vintage. ¹
U.S. industry 111336 (Fruit and Tree Nut Combination Farming) covers establishments primarily engaged in growing a combination of fruit(s) and tree nut(s) where no single fruit (or family of fruits) or family of tree nuts accounts for at least one-half of the establishment’s agricultural production by value. When a specific fruit family or the tree nut family reaches the one‑half threshold, classification shifts to the appropriate industry within NAICS 1113. ²

What this NAICS covers

• Mixed-orchard and grove operations producing both noncitrus fruits and tree nuts without a single crop family comprising 50% or more of crop value. ²
• Establishments combining noncitrus fruit families (e.g., apples, grapes, berries, stone fruits) with tree nuts where no family dominates output value. ²
• Perennial crop cultivation and harvest activities integral to producing marketable fruit and tree nuts. ²
• Operations determining industry placement using “value of crops for market” as the 50% test across fruit and tree nut families. ²
• Integrated management of interplanted or adjacent orchards/groves when aggregate production spans multiple fruit and nut families below the majority threshold. ²
• Combination cropping explicitly within NAICS 1113 boundaries rather than general combination crop farming in 111998. ²

Frequently asked questions

• What qualifies an establishment for NAICS 111336?
  A farm falls under NAICS 111336 when it grows a combination of fruit(s) and tree nut(s) and no single fruit family or the tree nut family accounts for at least one-half of the value of crops for market; otherwise, classify to the specific industry within NAICS 1113. ²

• How do I apply the 50% rule in practice?
  Calculate the “value of crops for market” by family groupings (e.g., apples as one family, berries as another, and all tree nuts aggregated). If none reaches 50% of value, use 111336; if one does, classify to that specific industry within 1113. ²

• Can you give classification examples for common mixes?
  If grapes and almonds are grown and neither family is 50%+, use 111336; if grapes reach 50%+, use 111332; if tree nuts reach 50%+, use 111335. The same rule applies to peaches and pistachios or similar combinations. ²

• How is this different from Other Noncitrus Fruit Farming?
  Use 111339 when a single noncitrus fruit not otherwise listed accounts for at least half of production value. Use 111336 when production spans multiple fruit families and tree nuts without any family majority. ²

• Are SBA size standards defined for NAICS 111336 here?
  Size standards are set and published by the U.S. Small Business Administration, not within the NAICS manual or industry description. Refer to SBA’s Table of Size Standards for the current threshold applicable to 111336. ⁶
