Data covers shipments to Eastern provinces, Prairie provinces, the United States, and other countries. The dataset is updated by Statistics Canada, with a last recorded update in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze fertilizer shipment volumes by product type (e.g., ammonia, urea ammonium nitrate) to assess market demand.
• Model trade flows by comparing shipment data to Canadian provinces versus export destinations like the United States.
• Track cumulative annual fertilizer supply to Canadian agriculture using fertilizer year as the temporal unit.

Strengths

• Covers multiple fertilizer product types and distinct geographic regions (Eastern provinces, Prairie provinces, U.S., other countries).

Limitations

• Specific row count, column details, and temporal coverage are unknown.
• Data granularity (e.g., provincial breakdowns within regions) is unspecified.
