The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture
encourages, protects and promotes agriculture and related industries throughout the commonwealth
while providing consumer protection through inspection services that impact the health and financial security of Pennsylvania's citizens.
Pennsylvania’s 58,000 farm families continue to be the stewards of more than 7.7
million acres of farmland. With $4.7 billion in cash receipts annually from production
agriculture, Pennsylvania farmers and agribusinesses are the leading economic driver in our state.
In addition to production agriculture, the industry also raises revenue and supplies jobs
through support services such as food processing, marketing, transportation, and farm equipment.
In total, production agriculture and agribusiness contributes nearly $45 billion to Pennsylvania’s economy.
