NOTES AND DEFINITIONS

“Agrifood ” includes agrifood products produced by farmers, growers and ranchers in British Columbia,

as well as food, beverage and tobacco products manufactured by B.C.’s food, beverage and tobacco processors (regardless of where ingredients were sourced from). Agrifood does not include any fish, shellfish or marine plant products.

“Seafood” includes fish, shellfish and marine plants and their products harvested or cultured in marine and freshwater as well as seafood products manufactured by B.C.’s seafood processors.

“Food Preparations for Manufacturing and Natural Health Products” includes pastes, powders and flavourings used by food manufacturers, as well as natural health products.

“Industrial By-Products & Residues” includes bran, waxes, animal or vegetables fats and other by-products and residues from food and beverage manufacturing.

Export data provided in this analysis refers to B.C. Domestic Exports. Domestic exports consist of the exports of all goods grown, produced, extracted or manufactured in the province (British Columbia) and leaving the province (through customs) for a foreign destination. Exports of imported merchandise that has been substantially enhanced in value are also included.

Export data provided in the “Agrifood” analysis has been revised from raw data released by Statistics Canada to account for apparent discrepancies regarding exports of soya beans, rapeseed/canola oil and oilcakes that are believed to come from other Canadian provinces. Excluded soya bean products totaled $6.2 million in 2013, $1.4 million in 2014, and $1.2 million in 2015. Excluded rapeseed/canola oil and oilcake products totaled $271.0 million in 2013, $310.0 million in 2014, and $315.0 million in 2015. Therefore, the total export values for B.C. “Agrifood” provided in this analysis have been reduced by $277.2 million in 2013, $311.3 million in 2014 and $316.2 million in 2015. The Ministry of Agriculture is working with Statistics Canada to investigate these discrepancies.
