Economic Overview Quebec

Economic Overview

Agriculture is the leading industry in Prince Edward Island, with over 1,500 farms operating throughout the province. The main crop is potatoes, and there are over 300 potato growers in the province. Prince Edward Island produces approximately 25% of all potatoes grown in Canada, and is also a major producer of seed potatoes, which it exports to countries around the world. Along with the processing of frozen fried potatoes, the province also has companies processing green vegetables and berries for freezing and packaging.

Other industries in the province include aerospace, bioscience, information and communication technology, renewable energy, and shellfish fishing and farming (including lobster, oysters, and mussels). Renewable energy has been particularly important more recently, with a global push to find better energy sources that do less damage to the environment. About 15% of electricity consumed on the island comes from renewable energy sources, mostly wind turbines. The province wants to see this percentage grow, leading to future employment opportunities in this sector.
