Canada: High Bush Blueberry Production in Canada
Blueberries are the top horticulture crop in Canada, accounting for approximately 25 percent of horticultural farm gate value. In the last five years, Canadian low bush (wild) and high bush (cultivated) blueberry production has grown significantly. While increased production and changing consumer trends have contributed to a decline in farm gate value for low bush blueberries, high bush blueberry farm gate values increased through 2016. The majority of Canadian high bush blueberry production is concentrated in the Province of British Columbia, which exports more than 95 percent of Canadian fresh cultivated blueberries.
