Canada: Grain and Feed Annual
Total production of wheat, barley, oats and corn in 2015/2016 is forecast to increase to 52.8 MMT (million metric tons), a 4 percent increase over 2014/2015 levels of 50.8 MMT. Lower domestic supplies due to low carry-in stocks are forecast to result in total exports decreasing three percent from anticipated exports levels of 26.4 MMT for 2014/15. Imports of corn are forecast to fall in 2015/2016 due to increased production, but will remain at above average levels. Proposed legislation that would level the playing field for U.S. farmers delivering to Canadian grain elevators remains stalled.
