Friday, January 13, 2006 Potato production2005 (revised)There have been some minor revisions to the 2005 potato estimates for Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Saskatchewan and Alberta as a result of additional survey information. The revised estimates show that Canada's 2005 potato production declined slightly to 94,413,000 hundredweight (4 282 500 tonnes). This was mainly as a result of a 900 acre (400 hectare) decrease in the area harvested. An increase in the yield in Saskatchewan did not offset the decrease in area harvested. Available on CANSIM: table 001-0014. Definitions, data sources and methods: survey numbers, including related surveys, 3401, 3407, 3446 and 3465. The publication Canadian Potato Production, Vol. 3, no. 3 (22-008-XIE, free) is now available online.
