Crop and crop product physical flows of selected domestically produced commodities, Canada, 2011
Table Summary
This table displays crop and crop product physical flows of selected domestically produced commodities for Canada in 2011. The row headers provide information by commodity. The column headers provide information on supply and demand. Supply is broken down into output (domestic production); imports; and total supply. Demand is broken down into industry intermediate consumption; household consumption, waste; exports; stock variation; and total use. The unit of measure is thousands of tonnes.

1.
Includes the following categories: agricultural (feed), agricultural (seed), and manufacturing (food, energy and other)
2.
Industry intermediate consumption for potatoes (demand for seed and manufacturing uses) was estimated using ratios on seeding and manufacturing using data from Prince Edward Island and applying this value for Canada.
3.
Sugar beets are produced in Alberta and Ontario. Alberta’s output (CANSIM table 001-0010) is transformed within Canada, while Ontario’s output is exported. The 2011 production for Ontario (export) was estimated by multiplying the area harvested (residual from the 2011 Census of Agriculture and CANSIM table 001-0010) by Alberta's 2011 production per hectare.
Note(s):
Available data on demand for agricultural commodities were occasionally published only in an aggregated format and could not be separated into the different components presented in this table. For this reason, data for the categories, ‘agricultural feed, ’‘food manufacturing, ’‘household consumption’ and ‘waste’ are found under ‘stock variation’ for soybean, dry peas, lentils and sunflower seed.
