Summary
Canada imports more than 21,000 tonnes of strawberries annually, of which approximately 5,000-6,000 tonnes are frozen berries used for processing at a cost of more than $ 10 million. These could be replaced by Canadian grown fruit if improved cultivars, and suitable for mechanical harvesting, processing and fresh market adapted top ]Canadian climatic conditions would be available.
