 Commercial Availability of Alberta Grown Crops
This chart can be used as a general guide to show the quantity of Alberta commercial vegetable crops that are available for sale. When availability changes during the month, the chart will reflect this by using half-month intervals.

KEY:
L = Limited (1 to 4 % of crop available)
A = Average or regular supplies (>4 to 15% crop available)
P = Peak (> 15 % of crop available)

Since the chart is based on an average crop season; yearly climate changes, and regional differences will determine whether crops are available sooner or later than indicated. The availability of a specific crop in any given year is also determined by market demand and other factors.
