Certified organic fruit and vegetable production estimates, 2025

These estimates should be used with caution. The organic farm database, which was used to identify which farms in the Fruits and Vegetables Survey are organic, is not complete. Therefore, there may be undercoverage in the estimates. The use of administrative data to improve the quality of the estimates has been limited to Quebec.

The estimates of cultivated area and production for certified organic fruits and vegetables were derived from the Fruits and Vegetables Survey. The Fruits and Vegetables Survey tracks the total cultivated area, harvested area, total production, marketed production and farm-gate value of selected fruits and vegetables grown in Canada, including in certified organic and conventional farms. Our regular release for the entire estimates was published on February 16, 2026.

Administrative data sources were also used, such as cultivated area collected by the Conseil des appellations réservées et des termes valorisants, to enhance the quality of the data until 2024.

Farm-gate value is the value received by producers at the point of first transaction, when ownership first changes hands. This value excludes any separately billed costs such as delivery, storage, marketing and administration.

The Census of Agriculture is currently underway.

Every five years, farm operators across Canada complete the Census of Agriculture.

Insights from the 2026 Census will provide crucial information about the agriculture sector in Canada to help make business decisions.
