Canadian Farm Product Price Index Annual Trends

Statistics Canada tracks farm product price changes relative to a 2007 baseline of 100. The dataset provides annual index values for Canada and its provinces. It is maintained by Statistics Canada and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Assess the impact of agricultural policies by tracking index deviations from the 2007 baseline.

Strengths

• Data originates from Statistics Canada, a national statistical agency.
• Provides consistent annual data points with a fixed 2007=100 baseline for comparison.
