The worldwide floriculture industry is worth well over 30 billion U.S dollars and demand, as well as production, is on the rise.[1] Though Canada is not one of the major floriculture producers worldwide, this industry remains of importance to the nation.
Introduction
In 2001, the Canadian floriculture industry was valued at $904 million CAD.[2] To give a more recent figure, Canadian floricultural farm cash receipts in 2013 totalled $1.09 billion CAD.[3] In 2011, there were 2,278 floricultural farms in Canada.[4] Of the provinces, Ontario has the greatest share in this industry—nearly 45% in 2004.[5] Correspondingly Ontario dominates in exports to the U.S.[6] 9,500 people of mainly Dutch and Danish background were employed by Ontario's floriculture industry in 2004.[5] Southern Ontario's strategic location within 12 hours by road of half of the U.S. urban population is cited as one of the major sources of its success in floriculture.[5] Clearly the floriculture industry is quite important to Canada and especially to Ontario.
