We capture data along the value chain. From production and prices to farm income, food manufacturing sales and international export statistics. We develop regular reports on Alberta farm input prices, Edmonton nutritious food basket prices, Alberta crop conditions, customs rates, Agriculture Statistics Yearbook, fact sheets and much more.
When you need the numbers explained
Give us a call and we will direct you to a specialist with the appropriate expertise on the numbers you are looking at.
When you want decision making tools
When you want to get a better handle on your business costs and increase profits – you need to look at our AgriProfit$ Program.
The AgriProfit$ Program offers producers a customized business analysis of their operations. This free service is available for cow/calf, dairy, crops, greenhouse and specialty crops as well as honey and bee operations.
We also produce economic, production and financial benchmarks and offer business planning software and tools (e.g. CropChoice$)
Need an assessment of market conditions?
We have analysts and materials that will give you up-to-date information and analysis of these complex sectors. Our Marketing Guide can assist in better understanding farm product marketing.
What are the consumer and retail trends?

Our free department publications, Consumer Corner and Trends in Retail, offer insights on current trends in the marketplace and are regularly updated..
