The Canada is also one of the world's largest suppliers of agricultural products, particularly of wheat and other grains. Canada is a major exporter of agricultural products, to the United States but also to Europe and East Asia. As with all other developed nations the proportion of the population and GDP devoted to agriculture fell dramatically over the 20th century.Unlike the agricultural industries of many developed nations, Canadian farmers have to compete internationally without large subsidies. The Canadian Government does subsidize farmers with aide in times of disaster, but does not usually give farmers "base" support. Dairy and poultry farmers are distributed across the country, but most of the production in the agricultural industry are found in central Canada. Farmers earn their living from market sales only, and they focus mainly on the Canadian market; because they lack government subsidies, farmers rely on tariffs to limit the amount of agricultural imports.
Five Largest Agricultural Production Sectors:
1. grains and oilseeds:(wheat, durum, oats, barley, rye, flax seed, canola, soybeans, and corn).
2. red meats: livestock (beef cattle, hogs, veal, and lamb)
3. dairy
4. horticulture
5. poultry and eggs
