Canada’s cereals sector leads Canadian agricultural exports, exporting wheat, barley, oats, and durum to more than 80 countries around the world. These exports contribute approximately $12.8 billion annually to the Canadian economy.
This success did not happen by chance. It reflects decades of investment, innovation, and collaboration across the value chain. From plant breeders and life science companies to farmers, grain handlers, and exporters, thousands of Canadians work every day to develop, produce, and deliver high-quality grain that meets the evolving needs of global customers.
Canada is a global leader today but maintaining that position will require continued commitment and investment.
Sustaining Growth in a Competitive Global Market
The cereals sector has been a significant driver of economic growth, achieving an average annual growth rate of 3.6% over the past decade. If that trend continues, export value could increase from $12.8 billion in 2025 to an estimated $18.3 billion over the next 10 years.
Realizing that potential will require more than strong production. It will depend on our ability to strengthen customer relationships, demonstrate quality and performance, and remain responsive to changing market demands.
Without strategic investment, a portion of this projected growth could be at risk. This is where the Global Agriculture Technology Exchange (Gate) plays an important role.
