West Coast Agriculture: 2021 Data and Trends Report

Comprised of eleven states with two subregions, the West is an essential part of U.S. agriculture that contributes more than $95 billion to the nation’s agricultural output each year.  

The West is the leading U.S. supplier of agricultural exports and a top exporter of tree nuts, plant products, fresh and processed vegetables, and processed fruit. The West region is also home to the widest range of average farm sizes and highest number of total farmworkers. While Western farmers enjoy the second-highest net farm income in the nation, they also face the highest farm labor costs.
