Equity in Canada's farm sector totalled $415.3 billion on December 31, 2013, up 13.0% from the same date in 2012. Strong gains in the value of most farm assets, particularly land values (+16.8%), outpaced the rise in liabilities (+8.1%) over this period.
Preliminary data on the balance sheet of the agricultural sector, at December 31, are now available for 2013, for Canada and the provinces.
Note to readers
Assets and liabilities in the agriculture sector's balance sheet include those of farm businesses and non-operator landlords (for farm real estate assets leased to farm operators and the corresponding liabilities) and exclude the personal portion of farm households. This most closely reflects the assets and liabilities used in the production of agricultural products.
