AFFI study: Frozen food, beverage business boosts U.S. economy
The frozen food and beverage business plays a significant role in the U.S. economy, according to a new study commissioned by the American Frozen Food Institute (AFFI), McLean, Va. The study found that in 2012, the industry contributed $56 billion to U.S. GDP and accounts for 670,000 jobs across 49 states.
The study, which was conducted by the Policy Navigation Group, Fairfax, Va., provides a comprehensive estimate of the frozen food and beverage community’s impact on the broader U.S. economy, as well as its contribution to the economies of individual states and U.S. congressional districts.
