Soybean

Soybean (Glycine max) is a herbaceous annual belonging to the legume family, grown as an oilseed crop in Canada. The soybean, among the oldest of cultivated crops, probably originated in East Asia. Introduced into the US as a hay crop about 1800, it was not recognized as a valuable source of edible oil until the early 1900s.

Supply Management in Canada

Supply management is a system designed to control the supply — and thereby stabilize the price — of Canadian dairy, chicken, turkey and egg products (see Poultry Farming). It began in 1972 as a response to a series of crises that farmers faced due to decreasing prices for these products.

Sweet Apple

The sweet apple (Malus pumila) is a cultivated species of the rose family and Canada's most important tree fruit crop. The sweet apple likely originated in the Heavenly Mountains (Tian Shan) of western China, and was brought to the Middle East on the Silk Road. Wild apple forests can still be found in central Asia, especially in Kazakhstan. The sweet apple is believed to have arisen from an interspecies hybridization in the distant past. Many wild species of Malus have been recognized, but some are hybrids among about 40 true species (nine of which are native to North America). Cultivated varieties (cultivars) were recognized at least by the 3rd century BCE, and valued types have been propagated clonally by budding and grafting since Roman times in the west, and probably far earlier in China.

Tomato

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) is a herbaceous perennial which, in Canada, is grown as an annual because of early frost. Fruits range from a few grams to over 450 gm. Tomatoes are usually red or orange but may be pink (colourless skin) or yellow. Tomatoes contain vitamin A, thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and ascorbic acid. Worldwide, two species are cultivated, L. esculentum (including common, cherry, pear, upright and large-leaf varieties) and L. pimpinellifolium. The tomato originated in Peru and was used by the Indians of South and Central America in precontact times. Introduced into Europe in the 16th century, the tomato was viewed with suspicion as a member of the nightshade family. There was no known commercial production before the early 1800s.
