en.Wedoany.com Reported - The USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) released a report stating that Canadian wheat production is projected to decline 10% to 36.2 million metric tons in the 2026-27 marketing year, primarily due to yields retreating from record highs to the three-year average. The report noted that Canadian wheat production increased 11% year-over-year to 39.9 million metric tons in 2025-26, but planted area may shrink slightly in the new marketing year.

The FAS indicated that farmers are reducing wheat planting and shifting to alternative crops such as soybeans, barley, and canola, due to high wheat inventories and low prices. Affected by a stronger Canadian dollar and reduced supply, Canadian wheat exports are expected to decline 4% year-over-year to 28.5 million metric tons.

Meanwhile, barley production is also projected to drop 10%, while corn production is expected to grow nearly 6% to 15.7 million metric tons, driven by increased planted area and improved soil moisture. The report stated that as corn production rises, corn imports are projected to fall 8% to 1.7 million metric tons in 2026-27.
