Ontario is Leading the Floriculture Industry in Canada

The growing demand for fresh-cut flowers, potted flowering plants, and bedding plants in Canada. Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec accounted for the majority of Canada's total floriculture sales, with Ontario contributing more than half of Canadian sales at 55.2% in the year 2021.

According to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Ontario is an agricultural powerhouse that leads in many farming categories. Nursery product sales and resales were up 6.9% to USD 727.0 million in 2020, accounting for 28.6% of total ornamental sales. By province, Ontario accounted for the largest share of total nursery sales (41.8%), followed by British Columbia (32.0%) and Quebec (14.5%). According to the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), growing population, adverse climate conditions, the proximity to US markets along with the presence of large technologically advanced operations, have all contributed to the growth in the floriculture segment in Ontario.

While most floriculture production takes place within climate-controlled greenhouses, most nursery production takes place outdoors. The nursery industry is typically more vertically integrated than the floriculture industry with a combination of retail sales (garden centers), landscaping, installation, and maintenance services forming part of the income mix for many producers.
