Change in Greenhouse Area, 1991 to 2001

View this map

 

Abstract

Canada’s greenhouse area doubled between 1991 and 2001, to about 17.9 million square metres. Flowers have traditionally been the main greenhouse commodity, accounting for more than two-thirds of greenhouse sales in 2001. However, the demand for top-quality salad makings is so great that vegetables are starting to challenge flowers. Total greenhouse product sales reached 1.86 billion Canadian dollars in 2001.

This map corresponds to an article published in the Statistics Canada publication Canadian Agriculture at Glance. This is a full-colour book of short analytical articles on the agriculture sector.

The data used to make this map are derived from the 2001 Census of Agriculture. For further information on this census and other important mapping information, please read the following Data and Mapping Notes.

The map and accompanying text have been published in partnership with Census of Agriculture, Statistics Canada and The Atlas of Canada, Natural Resources Canada.
