Agriculture's Contributions to Texas Gross State Product


Although the value of production or gross receipts are often used as an indicator of economic impact, the appropriate measure is the contribution to the state's Gross State Product, or GSP. GSP is the value that is added during production, therefore it is often also called "value added." Value added in this sense refers to the returns to the four factors of production: land, labor, capital and management.
