OREGON AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS
Oregon State University and the Oregon Department of Agriculture support these sectors both directly and indirectly. The Oregon Department of Agriculture regulates food stores and licenses and inspects nearly every type of food establishment in Oregon except for restaurants (county health departments inspect restaurants). Since the majority of inputs to the retail and food services and drinking places sectors are not produced in Oregon, a subtotal for the products that are all produced in Oregon has been provided in Tables 11 and 12.
