Cereals Canada today released its annual New Wheat Crop Report to domestic and global customers of Canadian wheat. The 2024 report provides a quality and functionality update and highlights Canadian wheat production.
"In the 2024-25 crop year, Canada is expected to export 25.4 million tonnes of wheat to over 80 countries, with the quality and protein content that customers expect," stated Dean Dias, Chief Executive Officer at Cereals Canada. "This will make Canada the world's third largest exporter of wheat, and the top exporter of high quality, high protein wheat, for the second year in a row."
In a season that started with ample precipitation in Western Canada, Canadian farmers grew nearly 34.3 million tonnes of high-quality wheat. Yields exceeded expectations, leading to a four percent increase in non-durum wheat production and an eight percent increase in durum wheat production. Quality was excellent for all classes with a high proportion of the crop grading No. 2 or better.
