Description

Retail prices of more than 50 food items are collected each week at representative stores of the major food chains in Edmonton. The prices are weighted to account for the estimated market share held by each chain as well as the relative importance of each item in the total food-at-home budget. The purpose of the survey is to continue to build upon the historical series of benchmark retail food prices which we have been collecting for Edmonton since the early 1970's. The data series provides accurate, timely and reliable data on retail food prices for use in business analysis and planning. It is also used by the health care services sector in programs involving food security issues, nutrition and education, and policy, planning and advocacy work.

Description

The primary value of these reports is to enable producers to gauge their productive, economic and financial performance relative to their peers locally and provincially. Benchmark analysis, comparing to one's own detailed business analysis, is the first critical step in identifying operational strengths and weaknesses in a cow/calf operation. The benchmarking process has two key time perspectives. The first is an historical analysis, involving comparisons over time. The second is a within-year comparison, focusing on how your operation performed, responded to, or weathered the challenges faced by you and your local peers.

Description

Monthly notice of Crown Timber and Forest Resource Improvement Association of Alberta (FRIAA) dues for timber that is used to make lumber, pulp or roundwood timber products. Timber dues, Crown charges (stumpage fees) and other fees associated with timber dispositions are collected by the province to ensure that Albertans receive fair compensation for the use of publicly-owned forest resources. The timber dues rates applied are based on the current market prices of forest products. The tables used to determine the general rate of timber dues are adjusted periodically to reflect changes to current market conditions, and in the case of deciduous timber used to make pulp, indexed annually to account for inflation. The tables are located in Schedules 3-7 of the Timber Management Regulation.

Description

To address some of the data and information needs of the specialty crop industry in Alberta, the Statistics and Data Development (SADD) Branch conducts an annual Specialty Crop Survey. The survey captures data on area, yield and production for specialty crops grown in the province. Data gathered from the survey are used primarily to generate related provincial and sub-provincial estimates.
