Production of wheat, corn, barley, and oats is forecast to increase two percent year-over-year to 62.7 million metric tons (MT) in MY 2025/26 and area planted to grains will increase 2.2 percent year-over-year to 27.5 million hectares, according to Statistics Canada’s planting intentions survey. Only barley area is expected to shrink, though only marginally. Uncertainty around tariffs is prompting Canadian grain handlers to diversify markets for exports of crops not already booked.
