The study, commissioned by Northwest Farm Credit Ser- vices and performed by exten- sion economists at Oregon State University and the Uni- versity of Idaho, found agri- culture, forestry and ﬁ sher- ies account for 10.6 percent of all jobs in the ﬁ ve-state region and 12.2 percent of all sales in 2015. “We knew intuitively how vital these industries are to the Northwest and wanted to quantify their contributions to the regional economy,” said Phil DiPoﬁ , the president and CEO of Northwest Farm Credit Services. “This study afﬁ rms the sig- niﬁ cant impact producers have on the ﬁ nancial strength of our region,” he said.

It also accounted for 8.3 percent of total sales in the region and 7.5 percent of all jobs, the economists found. Forestry accounts for nearly 24 percent of sales in the natural resources sector and 21 percent of the jobs. Direct and related sales in the industry totaled nearly $42 bil- lion and provided 189,000 jobs in 2015.

Montana had 63,360 direct jobs with more than $8 billion in sales in 2015. With similar employment levels, “total sales in Idaho are 2.8 times as large as sales in Montana, which indicates that the natural resources sec- tor is less labor intensive and includes more high value pro- duction in Idaho than Mon- tana,” the economists reported. Alaska has the fewest sales and jobs in the sector, with about $5.9 billion direct in sales and 45,036 direct jobs in 2015. The study also found that 60 percent of all natural resource sales in the region are exported to other states or other countries, accounting for 15 percent of all exports from the region. Total sales exported ranged from a high of 89 per- cent of the seafood manufac- turing sector to a low of 55 percent of agricultural farm gate production.
