Updated tables containing comparative data on North American production of vegetables, flowers, plants and nursery products are now available on the website of the North American Tripartite Committee on Agricultural Statistics (http://webpage.siap.gob.mx).

These statistics compare area harvested, marketed production and value for field vegetables, as well as data on greenhouse flowers and nursery products in Canada, Mexico and the United States for 2010. Historical data from 2003 to 2009 with revisions, where applicable, are also available.

The tables include data originally published separately by the three countries. They provide a single, convenient place for data users to compare aspects of agricultural production.

This is a joint initiative among agricultural statistics agencies in Canada, Mexico and the United States. The committee works to promote the sharing of information and standardization of data among the three countries and their various agencies.

Member organizations include Statistics Canada's Agriculture Division; the Agricultural and Fisheries Information Service of the Mexican Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries, and Food; the Mexican National Institute of Statistics and Geography; and the US Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service.

Definitions, data sources and methods: survey numbers, including related surveys, 3407 and 3416.
