Introduction: This Statistics Canada survey is conducted on behalf of the Canadian Fertilizer Institute and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, to produce statistics on shipments of fertilizer in Canada by manufacturers, wholesale distributors and major retail distributors.

Please complete this questionnaire and return within one week.

What unit of measure will be used to report information?

Enter "X" beside applicable category

  • Metric tonnes
  • Short tons
  • Other, specify:

Shipments to Canadian Agricultural markets and total agricultural and industrial shipments to U.S. and Offshore markets

Include shipments:

  • of all product that you produced or imported which you physically transferred (either sold or consigned) during the past month to:
    • your Canadian customers for agricultural use (exchanges shipped to a non-reporting trade partner in Canada),
    • your own Retail outlets,
    • your U.S. and Offshore customers regardless of end use - report all exports (agricultural and industrial) shipped outside Canada.
    • your own U.S. warehouses
  • of domestic products from other Canadian Producers not listed on the last page.

Exclude shipments:

  • do not report shipments to Canadian companies listed on the last page (to avoid double reporting of the same products, and to ensure collection of shipments to final destination),
  • do not report Domestic industrial or lawn and garden sales (as best as can be determined),
  • do not report micronutrients.

Imports:

  • Report all fertilizer products that your company ships into Canada in the month it is shipped to the province of final destination.
  • Include products on an Importer of Record basis, and products imported through a brokerage.

Reporting Instructions:

  • Report all shipments to the province of final destination (as best can be determined by province).
  • For the purposes of this survey, B.C. is the area of British Columbia located south of Highway #16. The B.C. portion of the Peace River block is north of Highway #16, of which sales should be included in Alberta.
  • No conversions are required. Report shipments in the form and concentration delivered to purchasers (producers, wholesale distributors, retail distributors). Note that the detailed product list is for reporting purposes only - the information will be grouped later for publication of: Ammonia, Urea, AN / CAN , Am Sul , MAP , DAP , Potash and Other.
  • Please type in numbers to the nearest tonne eg : 123,456.
