Abstract
Farmers' markets presumably benefit local economies through enhanced
retention of local dollars. Unlike other studies, the net impact of farmers'
markets on the West Virginia economy is examined. Producer survey results
are used in estimating annual direct sales ($1,725 million). Using an
IMPLAN-based input-output model, gross impacts are 119 jobs (69 full-time
equivalent jobs) and $2,389 million in output including $1.48 million in
gross state product (GSP). When the effect of direct revenue losses are
included (primarily for grocery stores), the impact is reduced to 82 jobs
(43 full-time equivalent jobs), $1,075 million in output, and $0,653 million
in GSP.
