The Quebec Association of Vegetable Growers points out that the cost of diesel, used to heat greenhouses, has jumped by 70-percent in the past year. The price of fertilizer is up by 25-percent and packaging has gone up by more than 10-percent. Transportation costs have also risen considerably in the past year.
