British Columbia’s diverse climate enables the production of a wide variety of high-quality fruit and vegetable products.
Our interior valleys, with clean, fresh water and intensely warm weather that extends well into the fall, provide ideal conditions for growing tree fruits, such as apples and sweet cherries. British Columbia’s Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland regions boast some of the richest, most fertile soil in Canada, which is perfectly suited to berry production. Our state-of-the-art greenhouses also produce some of the highest quality vegetables using leading-edge production practices.
British Columbia is Canada’s largest producer of highbush blueberries, sweet cherries and raspberries, and Canada’s second largest producer of cranberries. Top fruit and vegetable exports from British Columbia include highbush blueberries, mushrooms, bell peppers, tomatoes, sweet cherries, cranberries and apples.
