Our ancestors knew eating an apple a day
did great things for our health.
Today, Elizabeth Campbell, a marketing
officer with Agriculture Canada's
Marketing and Economics Branch in
Ottawa, tells us that increasing that daily
quota would do great things for the health of
the Canadian economy too.
".The average Canadian today eats bet-
ween nine and 13 kilograms of fresh apples
each year," Ms. Campbell says.
"If we could increase that to 17 kilograms
of fresh apples, or drink more domestically -
produced apple juice, it would be a boost to
the economy in every part of Canada."
For the past two years, Ms. Campbell has
studied Canada's apple industry. She has
talked to apple producers and processors
from Nova Scotia to British Columbia, to
transportation companies, brokers and
retailers.
Her report, "A Study of Canada's Apple
Industry" now is being circulated to key
members of the apple industry. On August
11 and 12, it was discussed at a conference in
Ottawa with federal and provincial
government and private sector represen-
tatives.
The study covers every aspect of the apple
industry. It emphasizes key economic
factors of concern to the industry such as the
amount of orange juice . Canadians drink
r
compared to apple juice. It also pinpoints
problem areas, identifies commercial
growth opportunities and makes recom-
mendations on how to take advantage of
these opportunities.
According to Ms. Campbell's findings,
there are about 4,400 commercial apple
producers in Canada with eight million
trees.
The area planted to apples has decreased
over the past decade but production has
increased because of new high density
plantings, new chemicals for pest and
disease control, better management
practices and new, donsistent, heavy -
hearing varities.
"High density trees are smaller, mature
faster and the fruit is easier to pick."
Canada is also a world leader in research
on controlled atmosphere storage that holds
apples in near -fresh condition for up to one
year.
Despite increasing domestic production,
fresh apple imports are increasing. Since
1975, imports have represented an average
of 30 per cent of total apparent consumption
of apples in Canada. Granny Smith apples
accounted for 20 per cent of these imports.
"But, more importantly, over 50 per cent
of the apples from the United States, our
primary supplier, are Red and Golden
Delicious apples, which are grown in

It's apple harvest time in Ontario and local apple growers help to meet the demand for
the popular fruit. According to Elizabeth Campbell, from Agriculture Canada,
Canadians love apples, and eat up to 13 kilograms of fresh apples a year. (Wendy

Canada," Ms. Campbell says.
In 1981-82, 12.3 million kilograms of apple
juice concentrate was imported into
Canada. This represents about 20 per cent of
Canada's apple production. However, the
volume of juice apples is not sufficient to
support a full scale concentrating industry.
"Our recommendations in this area in-
clude more research into juice processing
and into development of apple vat -lefts
specifically for processing," Ms. Campbell
says.
"As well, a study should be carried out on
the economics of holding juice apples in
storage to produce single strength juice as
opposed to the production and the storing of
the concentrate immediately at harvest."
