Ontario is a pivotal contributor to Canadian agriculture, as it is to many economic sectors across Canada. The province’s large size (largest population and second largest province by land area) and its abundance of natural resources help position it among the nation’s leaders in farming.
The province once again made up the largest national share of farms and farm operators. In addition, it was the second largest contributor to the country’s farm operating revenues. Moreover, Ontario was the leader among all provinces in farming commodities such as soybeans, corn for grain, and greenhouse products.
