Historical publication digitized by Internet Archive in 2013 [for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada]. "The immensity of the Canadian market for dehydrated fruits may be emphasized by the fact that for the three fiscal years ending March, 1929, the average annual importation of dried fruit amounted to 88,798,477 pounds. The f.o.b. shipping point cost of this fruit plus duty was $7,394,895. Over a fifth of this amount or $1,514,012 was paid for dried prunes and apricots, two fruits that are being grown in the Dominion. The Dehydration Committee has carried on experiments to determine the suitability of the varieties of these fruits grown in Canada for dehydration as well as extensive experiments with dehydrated apples. The results of these experiments together with outlines of commercial processes are given in this bulletin"--p. [3]. gccst Fruit crops gccst Food processing Canada. Department of Agriculture.
