For the period as a center of bioprocessing activity in the United between 2007 and 2016, employment in the food and States. Consequently, many market leaders have bioprocessing cluster increased at a rate more than selected Cedar Rapids as a prime location in which double that found in other sectors, and it’s notable this to operate. The City of Cedar Rapids and Iowa State increase occurred as total manufacturing employment University (ISU) have established a partnership in decreased in the regional economy. In the past 10 years, efforts to understand and support further development the value of goods and services produced by the food of the bioprocessing and manufacturing industry in and bioprocessing cluster increased at a rate 1.5 times Cedar Rapids. ISU is a world leader in education and greater than general economic growth in the City of research for agriculture, bioprocessing, and engineering. Cedar Rapids. Therefore, this unique public-private partnership Included in this report are details of the major process combines excellence across industry, higher education, steps of each bioprocessing activity, descriptions of and the public sector to create a framework to sustain the major products and byproducts, and discussions unparalleled competitive advantage for bioprocessing of water, energy use, and waste generation from each companies in Cedar Rapids. area. Product volumes, economic trends, and current This work provides a foundational overview of the market values are included when available. Historical current practices of major bioprocessing activities economic data for major products is included in the in Cedar Rapids. Namely, corn, oats, and soybeans appendix. processing; yeast and fermentation products Areas for potential growth in the current processing manufacturing; and processed food manufacturing. and manufacturing practices of the major bioprocessing The value of corn and oats raw materials processed activities are identified through evaluation of current in Cedar Rapids exceeds $1.1 billion. For each job scientific literature and survey feedback from some of created in the food manufacturing and bioprocessing the major plants and facilities in Cedar Rapids. These industry serving Cedar Rapids, four additional jobs are areas will be explored in depth in future technical supported throughout the wider economy. Currently, publications in efforts to offer specific means to grow the bioprocessing industry in Cedar Rapids employs and improve current practices. approximately 5,000 individuals in manufacturing activities, and median income for cluster employment is Cedar Rapids Food and Bioprocessors Manufacturing Report / 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Table of Contents Executive Summary ..................................................................................................... 3 Table of Contents. .4 1.
