Miami-Dade County’s Agricultural industry is one of the most diverse in the country. Our tropical climate provides us with a year-round growing season, as well as the ability to produce an extremely wide range of crops. Employing more than 20,000 people and producing more than $2.7 Billion in economic impact each year, this industry is a valuable resource for Miami-Dade County. Coupled with the economic benefits, are environmental and aesthetic advantages.
