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, haskaps, 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 19.2% of total farm cash receiptsFootnote1 for edibleFootnote2 horticulture in Canada in 2022.
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). The total production area of fruits, berries and nuts, estimated at 136,741 hectares in 2022, was 0.9% lower than the previous year but 2.6% above the 5-year average, reflecting an upward trend in blueberry, cranberry, haskap and sweet cherry planted acreage and a declining trend mostly in raspberry and strawberry acreage over the last 5 years.
After falling to its lowest level in a decade in 2021 due to an unusual combination of extreme weather events across the country, the overall production volume for all fruits bounced back with a 13% increase in 2022. Fruit production reached 956,576 metric tons in 2022, representing the second highest level in a decade (peak production reached in 2016), led by a surge in the production of lowbush blueberries (+49.3%), cranberries (+33.6%), raspberries (+24.7%), sweet cherries (+11.8%) and apples (+8.3%). The most notable production declines affected grapes (-13.5%), highbush blueberries (-2.7%) and apricots (-2.4%).
In 2022, a massive increase in cranberry and lowbush blueberry production in Quebec propelled this province to the top fruit production rank accounting for 33.6% of the country’s production volume, ahead of Ontario (27.6%), and British Columbia (26.3%). These 3 provinces accounted collectively for 87.5% of Canada’s total fruit production volume in 2022, while Nova Scotia (6.8%), New Brunswick (4.5%) and Prince Edward Island (1%) accounted together for a little over 12% of production, with small amounts of fruit produced in Newfoundland and Labrador and the prairie provinces.
British Columbia’s fruit production reached a peak of 308,601 metric tons in 2018, and has since been dropping for 4 consecutive years. The most significant drop occurred in 2021, when overall production fell by 8.5%, with all fruit crops being affected to varying degrees by the unprecedented and persistent heat wave that the province experienced between June 25 and July 1, 2021. This was followed by 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. While in 2022, most fruit crop production volumes rebounded from the lows reached the previous year, overall British Columbia’s fruit production volume still saw a year-over-year decrease of 3% reaching its second lowest level in the last decade (only 5% above the lowest level reached in 2013). Apples and grapes saw the most significant drops with crop volumes down respectively by 9% and 9.5%, making both crops the smallest crops in the last 10 years. Apple trees were extremely stressed in 2021 due to the deadly heat dome that British Columbia faced and had smaller yields in 2022 as the lingering effects of the drought and heat wave continued to unfold well into 2022. While still 11% below the 5-year average, sweet cherry production volume was up 12% in 2022, after dropping for 3 consecutive seasons from 2019 to 2021. Aside from a late-spring cold snap, the 2022 growing season went relatively well for cherries. Raspberry production was also up significantly with a year-over-year increase of almost 40%, but still 14.7% below the 5-year average. It is worth noting that both raspberries and sweet cherries, which had the highest year-over-year volume increases among fruit crops in 2022, were almost the hardest hit fruit crops in 2021 with production declines of 36.6% and 16.7% respectively. British Columbia which accounts for 95% of the country’s highbush blueberry production, had its smallest blueberry crop in the last 5 years, as the 2022 crop volume dropped by 3.4% to reach 66,472 metric tons. A disease that is spreading through the British Columbia fields, which was initially thought to be scorch virus, but has yet to be identified, is lowering yields by reducing plant vigour, with some bushes not bearing fruit and potentially dying. Research, funded by Genome BC is currently underway to help identify the pathogen causing unhealthy blueberry plants.
Ontario’s overall fruit production volume was up by 12.2% from the previous year, mainly as a result of a 29% surge in apple production. The 2022 apple crop was Ontario’s second largest apple crop over the last decade (only 10% smaller than the 2013 crop), leading the industry to scramble for enough bins and storage space to hold the apples. Despite the many challenges that this sector, including labour shortages and high and persistent inflation, a members survey conducted by Ontario Apple Growers (OAG), asking them about their planting intentions for the next 5 years, appears to point to an optimistic view of the future. According to the OAG, 44% of the respondents indicated that they intend to increase their acreage, while 44% said they planned to maintain their orchard size at current levels, with only 11% planning to decrease the size of their orchards. Ontario, which grows most of Canada’s tender fruits, reported good volumes of fruit in most areas with an exceptional quality, leading to higher prices for growers which helped offset some of the increased costs in labour and production inputs. Ontario’s grape and wine industry, which accounts for the largest share of Canada’s production, experienced another challenging year in 2022 due to winter damage and vine loss, particularly in the Niagara area. Weather conditions from November 2021 through January 2022, caused significant damage to grape vines, which had not been able to acclimate properly after they had already been stressed by a series of climatic events including a relatively dry summer, followed by an excess rainfall in September and October 2021 and a mild December that impacted grape yields, fruit quality and delayed acclimation. Despite the significant challenges that affected the Ontario grape growers, the 2022 vintage is expected to result in excellent wines due to the warm and dry summer months that the province experienced.
Fruit production volume in Quebec reached an all-time high of 321,363 metric tons in 2022, representing an increase of 36.7% over the previous year, mainly as a result of a surge in cranberry and lowbush (wild) blueberry production. The 2021 lowbush blueberry crop in Quebec, the second lowest in the last ten years, 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. In stark contrast to the previous season, 2022 saw very favourable growing conditions throughout the season, resulting in a bumper lowbush blueberry crop, which almost tripled in size compared to the 2021 crop. With a crop volume of 47,383 metric tons, which is 41.6% above the 5-year average, Quebec accounted for 43% of the country’s total production and remained the top lowbush blueberry producing province. Quebec, which is also the country’s leading producer of cranberries, had it’s largest cranberry crop in 2022, accounting for almost 73% of Canada’s cranberry production. With an all-time record production volume of 151,739 metric tons (MT), representing a 51.6% increase over the below-average 2021 crop, the 2022 harvest will be remembered as an exceptional one for Quebec cranberry producers. While with 4,677 hectares (11,557 acres) the harvested area was up by 7.3% year-over-year, the major driver behind this surge in production was a 41% jump in yields, which increased from 22.95 MT/hectare to 32.44 MT/hectare. An extremely good bud set from the previous fall, as well as very favorable growing conditions and timely rains in 2022 were all contributing factors that led to these exceptionally high yields. With a production volume of 100,944 MT in 2022, Quebec’s apple production was up by 3.3%, but still 1% below the 5-year provincial average. Strawberry production was flat in 2022, with a production volume of 14,288 MT, accounting for 57% of the country’s total strawberry crop.
Fruit production in Atlantic Canada was up by 1.7% in 2022 reaching 118,526 metric tons, mostly as a result of a 17.6% surge in lowbush blueberry production in New Brunswick. Yields were up in New Brunswick despite blueberry producers having 9,000 fewer pollination hives available due to overwinter losses. Researchers across the Atlantic region are striving to better understand critical stages of fruit development to optimize the timing of pollination, pest management, and harvest. Production is expected to increase over the next 10 years with the sector’s focus on adopting beneficial management practices to maximize yields, reactivation of derelict fields in Nova Scotia, and increased acreage in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Nova Scotia’s blueberry and apple growers are using new data analysis tools and a network of on-farm weather stations to improve yields and profitability.
With a production volume of 380,571 metric tons, apples continued to lead the fruit sector in terms of tonnage, accounting for 39.8% of the total production of Canadian fruit in 2022. Cranberries were the second most important fruit crop in terms of production volume (209,205 metric tons, 21.9%), followed by blueberries (180,116 metric tons, 18.8%), grapes (90,182 metric tons, 9.4%), strawberries (25,072 metric tons, 2.6%), peaches (20,815 metric tons, 2.2%) and sweet cherries (18,345 metric 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% in 2022) 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 95% of Canada’s cranberry crop in 2022, while New Brunswick is the third largest cranberry-producing province and produced 3.3% of Canada’s crop in 2022. Quebec is currently not only Canada’s largest cranberry-producing province, accounting for 72.5% of the total Canadian cranberry crop, but also the largest producer of organic cranberries in the world.
Canada’s fruit farm gate value rose by 15.3% to an all time high of $1.41 billion in 2022 as a result of a higher production volume and 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 production inputs. The most significant year-over-year price increases were seen in grapes (+10.6%), apples (+8.6%), apricots and sweet cherries (+7.3%), pears (+7.1%), strawberries (+6.8%) and peaches (+5.1%).
In 2022, British Columbia accounted for the largest share of fruit farm gate value (32.6%), followed by Quebec (27.9%), Ontario (25.3%), Nova Scotia (7.1%) and New Brunswick (4.9%). With a 2022 farm gate value of almost $364 million (an all-time high), blueberries continued to be the most important fruit crop in terms of value, followed by apples ($285 million), grapes ($196 million), cranberries ($185 million) and strawberries ($144 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 fresh and frozen fruit trade deficit has been steadily growing, reaching an all-time high of almost $6.2 billion in 2022. Canada’s fresh and frozen fruit exports have grown by 36.8% over the last five years to reach an all-time high of $1.1 billion in 2022, while the country’s fresh and frozen fruit imports have increased by 17.5% during the same time to reach their highest level of almost $7.3 billion in 2022. The impressive growth in Canada’s fruit exports over the last 5 years is mainly due to a surge in exports of blueberries (up almost 40%), sweet cherries (up 43%), apples (up 13%), strawberries (3.4 fold increase) and raspberries (2,6 fold increase).
With close to $663 million in exports, blueberries continue to be Canada’s top fruit export and accounted for 59.1% of the country’s fruit export value in 2022, followed by sweet cherries (11.6%), cranberries (6.3%), apples (4.6%), strawberries (3.1%) and raspberries (2.1%). 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 markets. While the U.S. is Canada’s top export destination, absorbing 67.2% of all Canadian blueberry exports in 2022 in terms of volume, the highbush blueberry sector is more heavily dependent on this single market (93.5% of exports) than the lowbush blueberry sector (48.5% of exports). This is partially due to the mix of exports, which for lowbush blueberries is mostly (89%) 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 34.6% of exports in 2022 and frozen fruit accounted for 65.4%.
