Canadian wheat growers produced a good quality wheat crop with above-average volumes and yields in 2025.
In its annual New Wheat Crop Report to global and domestic customers of Canadian wheat, Cereals Canada said the new report included information on milling performance, flour/semolina quality, and end-product functionality for Canada’s 2025 wheat crop.
Cereals Canada Chief Executive Officer Dean Dias said Canada has produced another high-quality wheat crop with good functionality.
“Canada is on track to be the third largest wheat exporter and number one exporter of high quality, high-protein wheat,” Dias said. “In 2025-2026, 27.4 million tonnes of wheat is expected to reach over eighty international markets, with the quality and protein content that customers expect.”
The report stated Canadian farmers grew 36.6 million tonnes of wheat, with most graded No. 1 or No. 2. Despite variable growing conditions across the Prairies, timely mid-summer rains supported higher-than-average yields. In Eastern Canada, favourable weather throughout the growing season for winter wheat resulted in strong yields and good quality.
Wheat protein content was comparable to average and all wheat classes from the 2025 crop had good test weights and higher than average thousand kernel weights were seen for all Western composites.
This year, as part of its New Crop outreach, Cereals Canada will interact with twenty-nine countries that purchased $8.2 billion of Canadian wheat in 2024. The organization, along with value chain members, producer representatives, and the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC), is set to unveil the technical data for the 2025 wheat crop at two customer webinars on November 18 and 19.
