Canada - Grain and feed, annual report


Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Ap[ril 2, 2014

USDA/FAS GAIN report

Report Highlights:

Total production of wheat, barley, oats and corn is forecast to fall 22 percent in 2014 to 51.4 million metric tons (MMT) from year 2013’s combined record levels of 65.8 MMT. High supplies and a weaker Canadian dollar, combined with strong world demand are forecast to keep exports above average levels in 2014/2015. Focus has been put on moving the grain to export positions on the West Coast which has caused service disruptions to domestic and U.S. millers who depend on rail for delivery. Proposed legislation to improve the accountability between stakeholders on the grain handling system, as well as lack of rail competition has been introduced into Parliament.
