Canadian veg production increases, production costs rise
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.
