Canada Releases its 2022 New Wheat Crop Report

A high proportion of the 2022 wheat crop has graded in the top two grades, with high protein content across all Canadian wheat classes. 

Following the drought conditions that reduced Canadian wheat production in 2021, 2022 production returned to above average volumes. This year, Canada grew 34.7 million tonnes of wheat, an increase of 55% from last year.

"Canadian agriculture supplies consistent, sustainable, high-quality cereals to help support food security at home and around the globe," says Dias.  

The New Crop Report is prepared and presented in partnership with the CGC, value chain members, and provincial grower commissions. This fall, Cereals Canada received harvest assessment samples from nine grain exporters. The CGC reviewed samples provided by growers in Western Canada, while the Ontario wheat was reviewed by the Grain Farmers of Ontario. 

In the coming weeks, the 2022 New Wheat Crop Report will be shared in-person when a delegation representing the cereals value chain travels to over 15 countries in Asia, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.  

"It's important to keep our customers around the world informed on the quality they can expect as they make their purchasing decisions," adds Dias. "The quality of Canadian wheat continues to be great."
