Canada is located on the mainland of North America and ranks second among all countries of the world after Russia in area. Its capital is Ottawa, and the official language is English and French.
This country is one of the most developed in the whole world. Canada's agriculture is at the highest level. The industrial economy is well developed here, although the economy is largely dependent on the United States.
Work in agriculture in Canada is very in demand - it employs more than 15 percent of the economically active population of the whole country. GDP is 9 percent. The agro-industrial complex includes not only the agriculture of Canada, but also industry, which produces equipment, machinery, fertilizers and other goods for all of the same agriculture. In addition, the industry for the processing of agricultural products is also developed. Approximately 70 percent of the value of all agricultural products comes from the food processing industry.
America’s North agriculture is well represented in the world thanks in large part to Canada. The entire agricultural business of the country is built precisely on this industry. Canada’s domestic needs are fully provided for in all types of products; moreover, it is also a fairly large exporter of vegetable oil and wheat. The basis of agricultural enterprises is farming. Many farmers own land. In addition, most farms are highly specialized enterprises. Their focus is mainly on grain farms or livestock, with dairy and meat specialization.
Agriculture in Canada has a structure in which livestock prevails, although crop production is quite developed. Canada secured a place in the top ten countries in gross grain production. In addition, the production of fodder and oilseeds has grown significantly in recent years.
Agricultural land of this country covers an area equal to 70 million hectares. In the steppe provinces, there are grain farms, meat and wool sheep breeding, and pasture and meat cattle breeding. Quebec and Ontario produce seed potatoes and developed dairy farming. British Columbia and Nova Scotia are famous for fruit growing. Canada also ranks third in the world in wheat harvesting.
This country sends a quarter of all marketable products for export to different countries. At the same time, Canada's exports are mainly industrial products (mainly the automotive industry). In addition, paper and grain are exported from here. Canada’s foreign trade relations are directed to the United States, then to Japan, and only then to the EU countries, and lately, relations with Latin American countries have acquired a large role.
Canada is in no way inferior to Russia in terms of its availability of all kinds of natural resources and features of natural conditions. Its wealth is mineral resources. In addition, there are significant reserves of copper, zinc, nickel and lead ores. Canada is rich in natural gas, oil, iron ore, uranium, asbestos and coal. Due to this, it is considered one of the largest suppliers of mineral raw materials to those countries of the world that are industrially developed.
Agriculture in Canada is a developed industry, which in many respects affects the country's agricultural business. But in addition, there are also many forests. Therefore, Canada is the third largest wood producer in the world. There are a lot of natural resources of the animal world in the country - commercial fish (cod, herring, salmon, halibut) and fur-bearing animals. And in the reserves of fresh water, only Russia and Brazil passed it. But the territory of Canada is unevenly developed economically due to natural features.
