Introduction The California Organic Products Act (COPA), signed into law in 2003, provides protection to producers, processors, handlers and consumers in that foods produced and marketed as organic must meet specified standards. As part of the regulatory process, COPA requires annual registration of all processors, growers and handlers of commodities labeled as organic. State registration is separate from, and does not act as a substitute for, organic certification. State law mandates registration administered by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) while federal law mandates certification by a USDA accredited third-party organization. This publication quantifies the current size and growth of the organic industry in California in terms of acres, farm gate sales and number of growers statewide and by commodity, commodity group, county, and region based on CDFA registration data from 2005-2009. Values for 2005 have been updated since the May 2007 Statistical Review of California s Organic Agriculture: 2000 2005. The six major commodity group classifications presented in this report include: field crops; fruit and nut crops; livestock, dairy, poultry and apiary products; nursery, greenhouse and floriculture; pasture and rangeland; and vegetable crops. The 2007 report did not include rangeland and pasture as a separate category and included those values under field crops and livestock. The state s counties are divided into eight geographic regions based on similar groupings used by CDFA in their annual statistical reports (Figure 1). When interpreting the data, the following points should be considered. The numbers contained in this publication are derived solely from information provided in the annual registration forms of organic growers. In other words, the numbers are presented as reported to CDFA by growers. Only sales from products marketed as organic are required to be reported to CDFA. This means that income from sales of organically grown products sold in the conventional market may not be included. Income from government payment is not reported. In this report, acreage was calculated by tallying only crop production acres. Land that was double or multiple cropped was counted as one crop acre. Fallow land and land utilized for roads, houses and farm buildings were excluded from the analysis. The acreage reported here includes only those acres from which growers reported organic sales. Finally, when interpreting the total number of growers, the sum of the subcategories may not equal the total because some individual growers have reported in multiple subcategories. For example, a grower producing vegetables and fruit will count as one vegetable grower and one fruit grower, and still only account for one of the total number of growers. Simply adding the number of vegetable growers to the number of fruit growers would result in double counting. Similarly, a grower producing wheat and corn counts as one corn grower and one wheat grower but only one of the total number of field crop producers. 2 UC Agricultural Issues Center
