What Official Sources Confirm

The Canning Facility is named in a post-launch hotfix: its canned food recipes no longer require Iron Ore. The developers explained they had built this part of the game around trading and blasting rocks and are rethinking the iron loop. A separate hotfix confirms canned food is the caravan currency, lowering the cost of a caravan from 20 to 5 canned food.

Honest Gaps

No official source publishes a per-cycle output rate, worker count, or cost for the Canning Facility beyond the caravan-cost figure above. Nothing further is claimed here.
