Annual Canadian Farm Cash Receipts by Commodity and Province

Statistics Canada provides annual farm cash receipts data for Canada and its provinces, broken down by commodity. Figures are reported in thousands of dollars. The dataset was last updated in February 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze revenue trends over time for specific commodities like wheat or dairy using the annual time-series data.
• Compare provincial agricultural output by aggregating cash receipt values across different commodity categories.
• Model the economic contribution of specific farm sectors by examining the commodity breakdown within national totals.
• Track annual changes in farm income at a provincial level using the geographic and temporal dimensions.

Strengths

• Data covers all Canadian provinces, providing national and sub-national coverage.
• Published by Statistics Canada, a national statistical agency, ensuring authoritative methodology.
• Annual time-series data supports longitudinal analysis of agricultural revenue.

Limitations

• Specific row count, column details, and historical time range are unknown from the input.
• Data is aggregated annually, lacking higher-frequency (e.g., monthly) granularity for short-term analysis.
• Monetary values are in nominal thousands of dollars; inflation adjustment may be required for long-term studies.
