Appendix ..................................................................................................................... 21 Okotoks: Food & Beverage Manufacturing and Agriculture Services Sector Analysis Page ii 1. Sector Overview The food and beverage manufacturing and agriculture services (F&B Mfg. and Ag Services) sector comprises establishments from multiple industry groups, primarily engaged either producing food or beverages for human or animal consumption or support activities for the agriculture sector, such as seed- related services, fertilizer and pesticide manufacturing, veterinary services, etc. Note this sector is made from a combination of different industry groups and industries and is not officially its own sector through the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Also note that due to limitations in the data, industries could not be delineated from their broader industry groups and therefore the broader industry group has been used in some instances. This will mean an overestimation of impact for those specific industries. 1.1 Sector Size & Performance Canada’s food and beverage manufacturing and agriculture services (F&B Mfg. and Ag Services) sector contributed $55.9 billion to Canada’s overall GDP in 2017. According to Statistics Canada, Alberta is the third largest output contributor to total F&B Mfg. & Ag Services GDP in Canada, with a contribution of $7.6 billion in 2017.

The sector has grown slightly in the province, with a compound annual growth rate of 0.1% from 2007-2017.
