Economy of Manitoba :
|
|
Manitoba has a moderately
strong economy based largely on natural resources. Its Gross Domestic Product
was C$50.834 billion in 2008. The province's economy grew 2.4% in 2008, the
third consecutive year of growth. The average individual income in Manitoba in
2006 was C$25,100 (compared to a national average of C$26,500), ranking
fifth-highest among the provinces. As of October 2009, Manitoba's unemployment
rate was 5.8%.
Manitoba's economy relies heavily on tourism, energy, agriculture, oil, mining,
and forestry. Agriculture is vital and is found mostly in the southern half of
the province, although grain farming occurs as far north as The Pas. Around 12%
of Canadian farmland is in Manitoba. The most common type of farm found in rural
areas is cattle farming (34.6%), followed by assorted grains (19.0%) and oilseed
(7.9%). Manitoba is the nation's largest producer of sunflower seed and dry
beans, and one of the leading sources of potatoes. Portage la Prairie is a major
potato processing center, and is home to the McCain Foods and Simplot plants,
which provide French fries for McDonald's, Wendy's, and other commercial chains.
Can-Oat Milling, one of the largest oat mills in the world, also has a plant in
the municipality.
Manitoba's largest employers are government and government-funded institutions,
including crown corporations and services like hospitals and universities. Major
private-sector employers are The Great-West Life Assurance Company, Cargill
Ltd., and James Richardson and Sons Ltd. Manitoba also has large manufacturing
and tourism sectors. Churchill's Arctic wildlife is a major tourist attraction;
the town is a world capital for polar bear and beluga whale watchers. Manitoba
is the only province with an Arctic deep-water seaport, which links to the
shortest shipping route between North America, Europe and Asia.
Manitoba's early economy depended on mobility and living off the land.
Aboriginal Nations (Cree, Ojibwa, Dene, Sioux and Assiniboine) followed herds of
bison and congregated to trade among themselves at key meeting places throughout
the province. After the arrival of the first European traders in the 17th
century, the economy centred on the trade of beaver pelts and other furs.
Diversification of the economy came when Lord Selkirk brought the first
agricultural settlers in 1811, though the triumph of the Hudson's Bay Company
(HBC) over its competitors ensured the primacy of the fur trade over widespread
agricultural colonization. HBC control of Rupert's Land ended in 1868; when
Manitoba became a province in 1870, all land became the property of the federal
government, with homesteads granted to settlers for farming. Transcontinental
railways were constructed to simplify trade. Manitoba's economy depended mainly
on farming, which persisted until drought and the Great Depression led to
further diversification.
