IImmppoorrttaannccee ooff FFoooodd PPrroocceessssiinngg iinn tthhee GGeeoorrggiiaa EEccoonnoommyy Food processing is one of Georgia�s most important industries. Since the early 1900�s the state has been home to now-global icons like Coca-Cola and smaller, but highly successful companies like Dillon Candy in Boston, Georgia. While segments of Georgia�s traditional industries have been hard- hit by a slowing economy and off-shore competition, food processing has held its own. Food processing is the single largest contributor to the state�s manufacturing GSP, accounting for roughly 14 percent of all total manufacturing contribution. Since 1995, food processing GSP has grown by 7.8 percent.

The top three segments in terms of GSP, Meat Processing (201), Beverage Production (208), and Bakery Products (205), comprised 76 percent or $4.4 billion of the $5.77 billion in food industry production (in inflation adjusted dollars). Over half of the food industry companies in Georgia are classified in one of these three major segments

GGeeoorrggiiaa��ss AAggrr iiccuull ttuurraall LLeeggaaccyy Although agricultural commodity costs have declined steadily as a percentage of food processing expenses, they still represent 19 percent of total costs. Being near affordable and abundant farm products is a definite plus for food processors.

Food and fiber production has always been an important part of Georgia�s growing economy. The state�s farmers produce a wide range of commodities including traditional and not-so-traditional products. Georgia is the largest producer of peanuts, pecans and poultry in the U.S.. Food processors have long found the variety and availability of Georgia�s agricultural products attractive and have come to the state be closer to the source.

Georgia also ranks highly nation-wide in a number of other agricultural categories:

• #2 behind California in peach production with over 140 million pounds grown in 1997.

• #4 in acres of cucumbers and pickles harvested for sale.

• #5 in number of acres dedicated to orchards.

• #11 in acres of vegetables harvested for sale.

According to the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, the total value of farm production in 2000 was $8.3 billion. Approximately 50,000 farms in the state average 224 acres in size. Considering direct and indirect employment, the University estimates that 320,000 jobs in Georgia are related to growing, processing and distributing Georgia�s agricultural products. The food and fiber industry provides an estimated $38.7 billion in economic activity to the state of Georgia.

PPoouullttrryy CCaappiittaall ooff tthhee WWoorrlldd Georgia is the poultry capital of the world. As a sub-segment of the Meat Products category, poultry processing is Georgia�s food processing main-stay with 32,000 employees. In 1995, the state�s General Assembly enacted a bill declaring Georgia the Poultry Capital of the World. One-hundred and four counties each produce $1 million of poultry every year. More than 24 million pounds of chicken are processed daily across the state. Additionally, the state produces 8.2 million table eggs, 5.7 million hatching eggs and 75 tons of turkey daily.

Continued growth in poultry demand bodes well for the industry. According to the American Meat Institute, national per capita consumption of chicken rose from 40.3 pounds in 1970 to 75.6 pounds in 2001. Turkey consumption is also on the rise.

Employment in Georgia�s food processing industry has experienced stronger growth. With an additional 10,000 workers since 1990, the industry now employs around 70,000 Georgians. That represents a 15 percent increase in Georgia�s food processing employment as opposed to 1.64 percent for the U.S. during the same period.

The state�s food processing employment has dropped during the past three years, but prospects for future growth remain strong.

Major Meat Processing Companies in Georgia

Meat processing (SIC 201) employs over 38,000 workers, more than half (54 percent) of all food processing industry workers in the state. As mentioned earlier, the poultry processing industry accounts for 32,000 of those workers. The graph below summarizes employment by food processing segment. The most recent data is only available using NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) standards. Some changes in how products are classified makes segment comparison to earlier SIC-based data difficult. See Appendix C for SIC to NAICS conversion information.

The beverages group also employs a significant number of Georgians. Some of the top beverage producers include Coca-Cola and Coca Cola Bottling Company, Chateau Elan Winery, Miller Brewing Company and Anheuser-Bush Inc. Employment data for this segment has been significantly impacted by reclassification from SIC to NAICS. Some products previously included in the grouping under SIC 208 are now included in other groupings. For example, manufacture of soft drink bases is now considered part of miscellaneous food products under the new system. Employees working for companies producing such items are no longer included in beverage employment numbers.

FFoooodd PPrroocceessssiinngg IInndduussttrryy WWaaggeess Requiring an estimated 38 percent of food processing costs, labor is the largest component of food production. Having a skilled and reasonably priced work force is imperative in today�s competitive market place. Georgia�s average wage rate for food processing production workers is roughly 6.9 percent below the national average. In 2001, the average weekly rate was $493.12 compared to $529.78 for the U.S. overall.

When comparing Georgia�s food processing segment wage rates for all employees to U.S. rates, Georgia fares well. In six of nine categories, the state�s weekly wages fall below that of the U.S. by as much as $123 per week (dairy products). The three segments in which Georgia�s rates exceeded the U.S. are bakery products, sugar and confectionery products and

beverages. The presence of Coca-Cola headquarters in Atlanta drives up the average wage in this category to $2,173 per week compared to $974 per week nationally.

WWoorrkk FFoorrccee TTrraaiinniinngg aanndd DDeevveellooppmmeenntt As mentioned in the previous chapter, labor expenses in the food processing industry account for 38 percent of production costs. Having a trained and efficient work force is paramount in maintaining a competitive position in the market place.

Quick Start is Georgia�s internationally recognized skills based training program that provides job specific training at no cost for qualified new and expanding companies. In October 2002, Expansion Management magazine named Georgia the nation�s second best state for work force training � an honor largely due to the success of Quick Start programs.

Since 1967, Quick Start, a division of the Georgia Department of Technical and Adult Education, has provided customized training of almost 432,000 employees at more than 4,000 companies throughout the state.

In 2002, 25 Quick Start projects prepared 2,032 employees for jobs in the food processing industry.

In addition to its customized curriculum, Quick Start offers a Certified Manufacturing Specialist training program. The program is designed to ensure that Georgia businesses are able to hire qualified employees with strong foundational manufacturing skills. The training, conducted in cooperation with regional technical colleges across Georgia, includes the areas of study listed on the left.

QQuuiicckk SSttaarrtt iinn AAccttiioonn Keebler, Macon Georgia* Keebler in Macon recently signed on for Quick Start training for 25 employees. The program will provide workers with the skills they need for mixing, baking and packaging the company�s popular graham cracker line of products. While new technology has improved the efficiency and precision of equipment at the facility, having properly trained operators is crucial. Guy Ball, plant manager, says Quick Start training means that �Employees will be qualified on every piece of equipment� and that procedures for using the equipment will be standardized.

The Food and Commercial Workers union experienced some growth during the mid 90s but has since dropped in membership. The Bakery and Tobacco Workers union has seen the greatest decrease in membership since 1992 with a loss of 211 members.

Overall union membership in Georgia is also shrinking. In 2002, 6.8 percent of Georgia�s private manufacturing employees were unionized. Only eight other states have lower union membership in this category. A mere 6 percent of all wage and salaried workers in Georgia belong to a union.

TTrraannssppoorrttaatt iioonn IInnffrraassttrruuccttuurree Atlanta has long been the transportation center of the Southeast. With well-maintained highway systems connecting areas around the state to the rest of the nation, products made in Georgia are never far from their markets. Two major rail systems crisscross the state, and two major ports, Savannah and Brunswick, enable manufacturers and processors to quickly ship to domestic and global destinations.

According the the USDA, dollars spent on transportation represent roughly 4 percent of total production/product-to-market costs for food processors. Georgia�s prime location as a transportation hub is crucial.

HHiigghhwwaayy • Georgia has 15 interstate highways including I-16, I-20, I-24, I-59, I-75,

I-85, I-95, I-185, I-285, I-475, I-516, I-520, I-575, I-675, and I-985.

• Georgia�s highway system is one of the best in the country and is financed by the second lowest gasoline taxes in the nation.

• Atlanta, the state capital, is one of only a few major cities in which three major interstates intersect near the central business district.

• The state�s developmental highways enable more rural locations to easily

access major interstate systems. Highway 84 in south

Georgia runs the width of the state, connecting Bainbridge in the far southwest

with Savannah on the East Coast. This system of highways makes bringing product to market faster and easier than ever.

FFoorreeccaasstteedd GGrroowwtthh ooff GGeeoorrggiiaa''ss FFoooodd PPrroocceessssiinngg IInndduussttrryy Between 1995 and 2002, Georgia�s food processing industry enjoyed growth in GSP contribution with increases of 1.1 percent annually. The U.S. industry as a whole actually realized a decrease in food processing GSP.

Forcasts depict an invigorated economy in the coming years with resumed expansion in many industries including food processing. Over the next seven years, industry GSP will grow by 3.5 percent annually in Georgia. U.S. food processing will rebound more slowly with growth of 1.1 percent annually.

By 2009, Georgia�s food products GSP will reach more than $7.3 billion in inflation adjusted dollars.

Fats and Oils, Beverage, and Meat sectors of the industry will be the strongest performers over the next few years with annualized growth rates of 4 percent or greater.

RReessoouurrcceess aanndd IInndduussttrryy SSuuppppoorrtt Georgia�s food processing industry enjoys support from various associations, councils, government agencies, colleges and universities.

FFooooddPPAACC FoodPAC (Food Processing Advisory Council) is the state�s premier organization for academic, government and private sector collaboration in promoting the economic well-being of Georgia�s food processing industry.

The Food Processing Industry Initiative was started in June, 1993 as part of then Governor Zell Miller�s economic development emphasis on traditional industries. It resulted in the formation of a joint public-private partnership between industry, Georgia�s institutions of higher education and Georgia�s state agencies. That partnership is called the Food Procesing Advisory Council or FoodPAC.

FoodPAC�s mission is to make Georgia the national and international leader in food processing. Food PAC works to enhance the competitiveness of Georgia�s food and allied industries, focusing on economic growth for existing companies and working to attract new food-related operations to the state.

To complete this mission, FoodPAC:

• Identifies critical issues affecting the competitiveness of the industry

• Develops realistic strategies that address identified issues

• Enhances excellence in research and development between colleges and universities in Georgia and the food processing industry

• Develops and delivers high-impact programs targeted on critical needs

• Continually evaluates the overall effectiveness of all activities

In fiscal year 2002, FoodPAC provided over $1.7 million to fund 18 projects. Research included eight studies dealing with process and product
