Cereals Canada releases 2025 New Wheat Crop Report

Cereals Canada released its annual New Wheat Crop Report.

The report includes information on milling performance, flour/semolina quality, and end-product functionality for Canada's 2025 wheat crop.

Cereals Canada generated the data for the 2025 New Wheat Crop Report through its Harvest Assessment Program, which in previous years, has only included wheat from Western Canada. This year, through a partnership with Grain Farmers of Ontario, the organization assessed Eastern wheat classes. 

"Canada has produced another high-quality wheat crop with good functionality," said Dean Dias, chief executive officer, in a press release. "Canada is on track to be the third largest wheat exporter and number one exporter of high quality, high-protein wheat. In 2025-2026, 27.4 million tonnes of wheat is expected to reach over eighty international markets."

In 2025, Canadian farmers grew 36.6 million tonnes of wheat, with the majority graded No. 1 or No. 2.

“Despite variable growing conditions across the Prairies, timely mid-summer rains supported higher-than-average yields. In Eastern Canada, favourable weather throughout the growing season for winter wheat resulted in strong yields and good quality,” notes a press release. 

This year, as part of its New Crop outreach, Cereals Canada will engage with twenty-nine countries that purchased $8.2 billion of Canadian wheat in 2024. 

The organization, along with value chain members, producer representatives and the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC), is set to unveil the technical data for the 2025 wheat crop at two customer webinars.

The New Wheat Crop Report is prepared and presented annually in partnership with the CGC, value chain members, and provincial grower commissions.
