Good quality and higher-than-average protein content for the 2023 wheat crop

Even with a large variation in growing conditions across the country, Canadian farmers were still able to produce another top-quality wheat crop.

Cereals Canada released the 2023 New Wheat Crop Report which provides an update on the quality and functionality of Canadian wheat to domestic and global customers.

Dean Dias, chief executive officer at Cereals Canada, said it was a challenging growing season that led to variable yields and below-average production.

“This year, Canadian farmers grew almost 30 million tonnes of high-quality wheat with the protein strength that customers expect,” Dias said.
