Domestic production is valued at the grower level and is estimated by subsector for all fifty states based on total grower cash receipts published by ERS. Imports are c.i.f. values (cost, insurance, and freight at port of entry) reported by U.S. Customs Service expanded to represent the value of the products as they enter the marketing channels, usually at shipping points. The expansion factor used is one and half times the c.i.f. value. This expansion represents a margin between c.i.f. values and selling prices at shipping points which is based on surveys conducted by the Florida Association of Floral Importers and other industry data. Retail expenditures are based on wholesale values expanded to an equivalent retail value representing estimated sales through all outlets such as retail florists, retail nurseries, home and garden centers, grocery stores, other retail businesses, landscapers, interiorscapers, government and other institu-tions, and all other users. The retail expenditures are the retail value of the green goods including the value of closely asso-ciated products and accessories sold accompanying the green goods including the cost of services such as delivery, installa-tion, landscaping, and other service activities. The retail expenditure estimates provide the industry and other data users with information on the size of the markets in the United States, year-to-year changes in total and per capita consumption (use) and import shares of the market, and over-all trends stemming from supply, demand, and U.S. economic conditions. The margins between wholesale values and retail values represent the added value of the products at retail to consumers and other purchasers. These margins vary signifi-cantly by product type and are based on several sources of information including U.S. Census of Retail Trade, U.S. Census of Wholesale Trade, U.S. Census of Service Industries, economic analysis conducted by ERS, USDA, pri-vate sources, industry groups, universities, and others.
