Canadian wheat exports ahead of last year's pace: Market Outlook

Oct 08, 2025

The latest Wheat Market Outlook, provided by Exceed Grain Marketing through the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (SaskWheat), looked at wheat & durum exports and the quality of both crops.

Canadian wheat exports during week 8 of the 2025-26 crop year were 841,000 tonnes, bringing the total for the year so far at 3.15 million metric tonnes (mmt), ahead of the 2.68 mmt at the same time last year. Durum exports for week 8 were 359,000 tonnes, in line with last year's pace.

Exceed Grain Marketing is expecting a relatively strong pace for the current week and demand for Canadian wheat to remain strong, "with local delivery points prioritizing the movement of wheat in recent weeks to meet demand at port facilities."

About 90 per cent of durum wheat in Saskatchewan is harvested and 92 per cent of spring wheat has been taken off. By comparison, 96 per cent of spring wheat has been combined in Alberta, and 98 per cent of spring wheat in Manitoba has been put in the bin.

The Market Outlook cited data from the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) for wheat quality as of September 25, 2025.

For durum: "41 per cent of samples graded #3, 25 per cent graded #2 and 18 per cent graded #1. Protein content across all graded averaged 14.9 per cent of the 190 samples in their system at the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC)." Last year's protein content in durum was 15.3 per cent and last year's durum crop was 73 per cent in the #1 or #2 categories compared to 43 per cent of this year's crop so far.

The United States has more than 895 million acres of farmland, which includes all rural land tied to farming operations, from highly fertile Midwest cornfields to vast grazing ranges in the West, as well as the undeveloped rural land, which is often sold as ranches, homesteads, or uncultivated lots. Nowadays investing in rural land is very lucrative even billionaires like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Warren Buffett have bought up thousands of acres of farmland across America.
