Overview
Despite a relatively short growing season, Canadian farmers produce a wide range of fruits, including apples, tender fruits (peaches, nectarines, pears, plums, prunes and cherries), grapes, blueberries, cranberries, strawberries and raspberries. Southern Ontario and southwest British Columbia, which each enjoy about 180 frost-free days every year, produce much of the fruit grown in the country, while Quebec and the Maritimes also have significant fruit production, despite having only about 120 frost-free days per year. Fruits accounted for 18.3% of total farm cash receipts Footnote 1 for edible horticulture in Canada in 2021.
Continuing the trend of farm consolidation from the previous census and aging of farm operators, the number of fruit, berry and nut farms dropped by 9.5% from 2016 (7,845 farms) to 2021 (7,101 farms). However, the total production area of fruits, berries and nuts increased by 2.9%, from 134,202 hectares in 2016 to 138,087 hectares in 2021.
The overall production volume for all fruits decreased in 2021 by 5.3% compared with 2020, mainly as a result of significant drops in the production of apples (-10%), sweet cherries (-15.2%), raspberries (- 26.9%), highbush blueberries (-6.8%), pears (-7.4%) and nectarines (-5.3%).
In 2021, British Columbia (30.6% of total fruit production), Ontario (27.7%) and Quebec (27.7%) accounted collectively for 86% of Canada's total fruit production volume, while Nova Scotia (7.8%), New Brunswick (4.6%) and Prince Edward Island (1.2%) accounted for the remaining 14% of production. Despite significant year-over-year increases in fruit production in the Atlantic provinces, which was up 25.2% in Nova Scotia, up 51% in New Brunswick and up 10.2% in Prince Edward Island, lower production in British Columbia (-8.5%), Quebec (-11.9%) and Ontario (-7.7%) mostly due to inclement weather events, dragged the country's total fruit production volume down by 5.3%.
British Columbia's fruit production was hampered by an unusual combination of extreme weather events, with an unprecedented and persistent heat wave, referred to by meteorologists as a "heat dome," which covered most of the province and western Canada between June 25 and July 1, 2021, and a series of devastating winter floods in November 2021 affecting the southern, central and coastal regions of British Columbia and parts of neighbouring Washington State. All fruit crops in British Columbia were negatively affected by these weather events to varying degrees. The most significantly affected crops were raspberries, with a year-over-year decline of 36.6% in production, followed by pears (-16.9%), sweet cherries (-16.7%), apricots (-13.1%), nectarines (-12.2%), grapes (-10.4%), apples (-9.5%), blueberries (-7.2%) and strawberries (-6.2%).
Ontario's overall fruit production volume was down by 7.7% from the previous year, mainly as a result of a 17.6% drop in apple production, which was affected by a number of factors, including a dry 2020 season that prevented blossom development for this year, some spring frosts and severe hailstorms affecting mostly southwestern parts of the province. Ontario, which grows most of Canada's tender fruits, reported a return to more normal production volumes in most areas and tender fruit crops in 2021 compared with 2020. Localized frost events in early April and pollination issues during a cool, wet bloom period led to some damage, and the excessive heat in August, coupled with reductions in available labour, limited the overall volume of harvested stone fruit, which had the potential to be larger. In 2021, tender fruit growers reported a production volume increase in most crops, with the volume of sour cerries up by 69.1% (although still 24.7% below the previous 5-year average), plums and prunes up by 44.4%, peaches up by 32.2% (but still 13.6% below the previous 5-year average) and pears up by 1.3%, while nectarines saw a 4.7% year-over-year decline. Ontario, which accounts for the largest share of Canada's grape and wine production, experienced one of its most challenging and longest harvests in 2021, stemming from high summer temperatures and record rainfall in September and October, with the Grape Growers of Ontario reporting 49% more rain during that period in 2021 compared with the 10-year average. Despite these challenges, the harvested grape volume was up by 2.7% for vinifera grapes (wine grapes), while the volume was up by 31.1% for labrusca grapes (table grapes).
Fruit production volume in Quebec was down 11.9% year-over-year, mainly as a result of a 53.0% drop in lowbush (wild) blueberry production and a 7.7% drop in apple production. The 2021 lowbush blueberry crop in Quebec was significantly impacted by a combination of frosts during the bloom phase (end of May / early June) and an extended dry period in June that further inhibited proper fruit development. This is in stark contrast to the previous season during which Quebec enjoyed a very robust crop. Apple growers in Quebec experienced an early and warm spring, though two cold spells impacted certain areas. Quebec, which is also the country's leading producer of strawberries and cranberries, experienced a drop in production volumes for both fruit crops, with cranberry production volume down by 4.4% and strawberry volume down by 1.1% year-over-year.
With a production volume of 351,565 metric tons, apples continued to lead the fruit sector in terms of tonnage, accounting for 41.5% of the total production of Canadian fruit in 2021. Cranberries were the second most important fruit crop in terms of production volume (156,5751 metric1 tons, 18.5%), followed by blueberries (146,551 metric tons, 17.3%), grapes (104,2031 metric1 tons, 12.3%), strawberries (24,615 metric tons, 2.9%), peaches (19,246 metric1 tons, 2.3%) and sweet cherries (16,404 metric1 tons, 1.9%).
Canada is the second-largest commercial producer of blueberries in the world, behind only the United States, and the industry has a fully integrated production and processing supply chain using modern production practices and processing technologies. Canada produces and processes two types of blueberries: highbush (cultivated blueberries) and lowbush (wild blueberries). Lowbush blueberries are native to eastern and Atlantic Canada with commercial production limited to the provinces of Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, while British Columbia accounts for the bulk (95.7% in 2021) of Canada's highbush blueberry production. Canada is also the second-largest producer of cranberries after the United States. Quebec and British Columbia together accounted for almost 93.7% of Canada's cranberry crop in 2021, while New Brunswick is the third-largest cranberry-producing province and produced 4.1% of Canada's crop in 2021. Quebec is currently not only Canada's largest cranberry‑producing province, accounting for 63.9% of the total Canadian cranberry crop, but also the largest producer of organic cranberries in the world.
Despite a 5.3% drop in production volume, Canada's fruit farm gate value rose by almost 1% to $1.2 billion in 2021 as a result of stronger fruit prices. Almost all fruit crops were able to benefit from higher prices, which helped offset some of the rising costs in labour, packaging and crop protection materials. The most significant year-over-year price increases were seen in apricots (+32.4%), raspberries (+26.7%), sour cherries (+22.3%), pears (+16.1%) and blueberries (+12.4%).
In 2021, British Columbia accounted for the largest share of fruit farm gate value (36.0%), followed by Ontario (25.3%) and Quebec (23.6%). With a 2021 farm gate value of almost $312 million (an all-time high), blueberries continued to be the most important fruit crop in terms of value, followed by apples ($243 million), grapes ($203 million), cranberries ($137 million) and strawberries ($129 million).
Given Canada's northern latitude and short growing season, the country is highly dependent on imports to satisfy the growing domestic demand for fruits throughout the year. As a result, Canada's fruit trade deficit has been steadily growing, reaching an all-time high of almost $9.8 billion in 2021, with fresh and frozen fruit accounting for almost $6 billion and processed fruit accounting for $3.8 billion of the trade deficit. Nonetheless, Canada's fresh and frozen fruit exports have grown by 30.2% over the last five years to reach an all-time high of almost $904 million in 2021, while the country's fresh and frozen fruit imports have increased by 13.3% during the same time to reach their highest level of $6.9 billion in 2021. As for Canada's trade of processed fruit, exports have grown by 26% over the last five years to reach $1.2 billion, while the country's imports have increased by 10% during the same time to reach almost $5 billion in 2021.
With over $530 million in exports, blueberries continue to be Canada's top fruit export and accounted for 58.7% of the country's fruit export value in 2021, followed by sweet cherries (8.7%), cranberries (7.2%) and apples (5.6%). As Canadian blueberry production has been increasing over the last decade, the industry has been actively pursuing export development activities by increasing exports to existing markets as well as exploring new export markets. While the U.S. is Canada's top export destination, absorbing 67.5% of all Canadian blueberry exports in 2021 in terms of volume, the highbush blueberry sector is more heavily dependent on this single market (94.1% of exports) than the lowbush blueberry sector (47.3% of exports). This is partially due to the mix of exports, which for lowbush blueberries is almost entirely (91.5%) composed of frozen product that can easily be shipped to distant overseas markets, whereas for highbush blueberries, fresh fruit (which has a limited shelf life) made up 35.6% of exports in 2021 and frozen fruit accounted for 64.4%.
With the recent expansion in acreage and production volume, sweet cherries have now become Canada's second most significant tree fruit behind apples and second top exported fruit crop behind blueberries. Sweet cherry exports reached a peak value of close to $91 million in 2018 when Canadian sweet cherry production hit an all-time high of 26,182 metric tons. Exports dropped the following year down to $68 million in 2019, mainly as a result of a 15.7% drop in production, before moving up to $72 million in 2020 and to $78 million in 2021, despite another two consecutive years of lower production. While Canada is a relatively small producer on a global scale, accounting for only 0.7% of the world sweet cherry production, the British Columbia cherry industry (which is responsible for 94.7% of the country's total production) has the potential to grow even further thanks in part to the premium new cherry varieties bred specifically for British Columbia growing conditions at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's research station in Summerland, British Columbia.
Canadian fresh and frozen fruit imports have continuously increased over the last two decades. Canada imported $6.9 billion of fresh and frozen fruit in 2021, which is up 3.1% year-over-year and represents an increase of 13.3% over the last five years. In 2021, the top three fruit imports by dollar value were grapes ($669 million), strawberries ($643 million) and bananas ($575 million), accounting for 9.7%, 9.4% and 8.4%, respectively, of the total value of the country's fresh and frozen fruit imports. In terms of tonnage, the top three imported fruits were bananas (20.4% of total), watermelons (8.6%) and grapes (7.0%). Canada's leading source country for fruit imports continues to be the United States, accounting for 40.3% of import value, followed by Mexico with 17.9%, Chile with 4.6%, and Peru and Guatemala with 4.5% each.
