Basic Membership Level
Understanding the US agricultural market – and the opportunities for CEA within it – requires data analysis and market insights.
RII’s objective, data-driven reports, available exclusively to RII members, analyze CEA markets, with a focus on validation of resource efficiency strategies.
UPCOMING REPORT:
USDA Agriculture Census - CEA Focus Feature
The USDA Agriculture Census contains a comprehensive overview of agricultural trends, challenges, and opportunities. However, navigating its vast report can be daunting, especially when deciphering its relevance to the rapidly evolving field of specialty crop production, and broader CEA segments.
As a member of RII, you’ll receive a curated publication that distills the key findings of the USDA Agriculture Census, and illuminates the implications for CEA market actors. From state-level market analysis to crop trends, we’ll help you connect the dots and unlock actionable insights that help advance your objectives in the US CEA market.
CEA in the Census of Agriculture report will be published in July and made available exclusively to RII members.
Notable content of the report includes:
- Top states containing high-tech and low-tech greenhouses
- Key insights into the production of tomatoes, fruits and berries, leafy greens and mushrooms
- Growth trends highlighting the number of operations and square footage of production, by state
- Access to easy-to-download tables
Data trivia:
New York and Michigan rank #2 and #3 in the number of tomato operations, do you know who ranks #1?
