Change in Greenhouse Area, 1991 to 2001
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.
