The technical data for the 2024 wheat crop will be presented at two customer webinars hosted by Cereals Canada on Nov. 19 and 20, before a cereals value chain delegation embarks on four international trade and technical missions.
This year’s delegation, which includes Cereals Canada experts, value chain members, producer representatives, and the Canadian Grain Commission, will meet with 18 markets that purchased $8.6 billion worth of Canadian wheat in 2023.
“The New Crop Trade and Technical Missions help strengthen the competitiveness of the Canadian cereal industry,” Dias said. “Our targeted, in-market outreach provides opportunities to build relationships and create advocates for our industry, while engaging in market access discussions. It goes beyond simply providing updates on the quality of Canadian wheat.”
The New Wheat Crop Report is prepared and presented each year, in partnership with the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC), value chain members, and provincial grower commissions.
This fall, Cereals Canada received over 115 samples of Western Canadian wheat from eight grain exporters for analysis. The Grain Farmers of Ontario (GFO) contributed an assessment of Eastern Canadian winter wheat for the report.
