NAICS 111411

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the framework federal statistical programs use to classify business establishments for collecting, analyzing, and publishing data on the U.S. economy. Developed under the Office of Management and Budget with the ECPC, Statistics Canada, and Mexico’s INEGI, it replaced SIC in 1997 and is revised every five years; the current vintage is 2022. ¹

Within this structure, NAICS 111411 covers establishments primarily engaged in growing mushrooms under cover in underground mines or in other controlled environments. “Under cover” in this industry group generally includes greenhouses, cold frames, cloth houses, and lath houses; activity is considered complete at the “farm gate,” the point of first sale or price determination. ²
