Canadian veg production increases, production costs rise

From 2016 to 2017, Canadian greenhouse vegetable production area has increased by over 6% (6.48), while the number of farms has decreased by 0.8% to 887. This means fewer growers with larger greenhouse area. Although there are 6% more hectares in production, the total production costs over this period have increased almost 8% to 1.2 billion CD$.

One significant reason for the increased production costs is the higher number of employees. From 2016-2017, the total employees in the greenhouse vegetable industry increased by more than 1000 (+1062) to a total of 12,568 workers.

The 2017 payroll for these employees was up over 13% from 2016, totaling CD$ 351 million. Over the last four years, this payroll figure has risen by almost 40%.

Complete details on this and all other recent worldwide country updates are available on request to those that have the World or North American Greenhouse Vegetable Statistics publications in their library.
