 Agricultural
Protection & Development Services
The mission of the Division of Agricultural Protection and Development
Services is to protect and strengthen the viability of New York’s
food and agricultural industry. The food and agricultural industry
in New York is a composite of several industries including production
agriculture, the provision of inputs to farmers, food processing
and manufacturing, and food and commodity distribution and marketing.
Collectively, these sectors generate a very large portion of the
State’s jobs and business revenues and are a major contributor
to New York’s economy.
The Division is specifically responsible for four broad program
areas designed to support and serve the State’s food and agricultural
industry:
Agricultural Protection
Agricultural Industry Development
Agricultural Producer Security
Agricultural Labor
