Canadian Fruit and Vegetable Output Skids
OTTAWA - Feb 14/03 - SNS -- Fruit and vegetable production slipped in Canada in 2002 on account of poor weather conditions across the country. Growers complained of either a cold spring or a hot, dry summer cut yields for many crops.
Farmers planted an estimated 296,000 acres in vegetable crops (excluding potatoes) in 2002, down 9% from 2001, according to the annual Fruit and Vegetable Survey covering 9,800 growers. Total fruit acreage declined slightly to an estimated 251,000 acres.
The unseasonable weather hit two crops in particular. Production of sweet corn, the most widely planted vegetable, declined 11% to 599 million pounds. Ontario and Quebec alone accounted for almost 90% of Canada's total sweet corn area of just over 79,000 acres.
