Imports to Canada Canada imports 53% of all produce and almost 100% of all fruits Imports of vegetables are $2.83 billion per year The average distance vegetables and fruit travel to market is 4,497 km In 15 years imports have risen 160% while the population has risen 15% Field cropland dropped 12% from 2009 to 2010 Small farms are disappearing at a fast rate We may lose the ability to grow many of the foods we eat Canadian demand for fresh food is rising every year
Competition is drying up – this is the official new normal (NOAA) and not a cycle – next years are worse
