Broiler critical to Delaware’s economy, study NEWARK, Del. - In .erms of the multiplier rffect of dollars spent, Delaware’s poultry orocessing industry :ontnbutes more to state economic growth Chan any other industry, according to a recent University of Delaware study. “Most people know farming is important to the state’s economy, but they may be surprised to learn just how im portant it is,” says Sharon M. Brucker, a research associate at the university’s Agricultural Ex periment Station. “Our study shows that poultry processing has the highest multiplier effect of any industry in the state.” Furthermore, the study shows that when the poultry industry grows, a large number of inputs from other Delaware industries are required-which means potential growth for them, too. Seventy-six percent of all poultry processing inputs are bought in state, Brucker says. And 75 percent of all poultry production purchases are made in Delaware. No other industry except paper products buys more than 50 percent of its inputs (goods and services) inside the state. For example, the chemical industry buys only 46 percent of its inputs locally. Using secondary data from various govern ment sources, Brucker and resource economist Dr. Steven E. Hastings have developed an in put-output table showing all the tran sactions undertaken by various industries in the state. The table covers 55 different types of industries, ranging from poultry and crop production to banking, chemicals, business service, amusement, auto repair and educational services. Data in the model can be used to estimate how much of each input is required to produce one dollar of output. Although Delaware’s chemical industry is the most important in terms of size, the model shows industry shows that an increase of $lOO,OOO in sales in chemicals stimulates less additional instate population than the same sales increase in the poultry production, poultry processing, or paper sectors. According to Hastings and Brucker, an in crease in poultry processing of that magnitude could be expected to increase total statewide production by $373,000. “It is important to note that different in dustries would be ap propriate growth targets depending on the development goals of the state,” Brucker says. For example, if generating more in come were the goal, a $lOO,OOO change in output in medical or federal government services could be ex pected to increase in come in the state by $107,000 or $109,000, respectively. If new jobs were the goal, an in crease in the apparel or health facility sectors (such as hospitals and nusring homes) would be most beneficial. “Business people, government officials and others who make economic development decisions in Delaware need this kind of in formation,” Brucker says. “They need to know how encouraging the growth of certain industries, such as banking, is likely to affect other sectors of the economy. They also need to know how existing industries use local resources, what markets are underused, how new markets can be encouraged, and how tax or zoning changes can affect the economy.” The results of Brucker’s and Hastings’ study are available in Agricultural Ex periment Station Bulletin 452, “An In terindustry Analysis of Delaware’s Economy.” Copies of the bulletin are available by writing: Dr. Steven E. Hastings, Department of Agricultural and Food Economics, Townsend Hall, University of Delaware, Newark, DE19717-1303.
