NAICS 112330

Overview

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is the federal statistical standard used to classify business establishments for the collection, analysis, and publication of data on the U.S. economy. Developed under the Office of Management and Budget in coordination with Canada and Mexico, NAICS replaced the SIC system in 1997 and is updated periodically; the current vintage in use is 2022. ¹
NAICS 112330 — Turkey Production — covers establishments primarily engaged in raising turkeys for meat or for egg production. The code sits within Animal Production, and it excludes activities that are classified elsewhere, such as poultry hatcheries or the raising of non-turkey poultry. Federal statistical programs and procurement teams use this code to consistently identify turkey-producing operations for benchmarking, reporting, and market analysis. ²

Exclusions and boundary notes

• Poultry hatching (any species), including turkey hatcheries, is classified under NAICS 112340; raising turkeys belongs in 112330. ²
• Raising chickens for meat belongs in NAICS 112320, not 112330. ²
• Raising non-chicken, non-turkey poultry (e.g., ducks, geese, quail) is NAICS 112390. ²

Statistical coverage notes

• The 2022 Economic Census generally does not cover NAICS Sector 11; NAICS 112 (Animal Production and Aquaculture), including 112330, is out of scope. Data on these industries are available from other Census programs (e.g., County Business Patterns) and USDA sources. ⁵
• Census programs are transitioning publications to the 2022 NAICS basis between 2024 and 2027; adoption schedules vary by survey. ¹

Frequently asked questions

• What activities define NAICS 112330?
  NAICS 112330 includes establishments primarily engaged in raising turkeys, whether for meat or for egg production. Hatcheries are excluded and classified in NAICS 112340. The focus is on the primary activity (predominant value of production) rather than on specific facility types. ²

• How does 112330 differ from 112390 and 112320?
  NAICS 112330 is specific to turkeys. NAICS 112390 covers other poultry (except chickens and turkeys). Chicken meat production is NAICS 112320. These distinctions help analysts avoid misclassification across poultry types. ²

• Are turkey producers included in the 2022 Economic Census tables?
  No. Sector 11 Agriculture is generally out of scope for the 2022 Economic Census; NAICS 112 industries, including 112330, are not covered. Support activities in NAICS 1151–1152 are covered. ⁵

• Which PSC codes commonly pair with turkey production procurements?
  Live turkeys typically align to PSC 8810 (Live Animals, Raised for Food). Processed turkey meat and poultry items align to PSC 8905. Turkey eggs, when procured as food, align to PSC 8910. Always confirm the line item specifics before coding. ⁴

• Has the 2022 NAICS update changed the definition of 112330?
  Census describes the 2022 revision as targeted; the definition of 112330 remains “raising turkeys for meat or egg production,” and no change to that phrasing is noted in Census descriptions. ¹
