Canadian experts have reduced the forecast for seeding canola and increased for wheat

In his last report experts Statistics Canada StatCan due to favourable winter weather and high prices have increased the rating of the sowing areas of wheat in the country in 2020/21 MG 3.3% to 10.2 million hectares, which is 333 hectares exceeds the level of the previous season.

 

most will grow the winter wheat sown areas, which is due to warm winter perfectly preserved. In comparison with last year they will grow by 53.5% to 577 thousand hectares.

 

of the sowing Area of spring wheat will remain almost at last year's level and amount of 7.61 million hectares, while the sowing area of durum wheat will increase by 6.8% to 2.1 million hectares due to the growth of world prices for high quality wheat.

 

it is expected that the acreage under Canalou will decrease compared to the previous year by 1.6% to its lowest 2013 level 8,343 million hectares due to lower prices and demand from main buyer China.

 

sowing Area of soybean will be reduced from 8.7% to 2.1 million hectares due to low profitability of growing this crop.

 

the acreage under barley will shrink by 2.1% to 2.9 million ha, whereas under maize will increase by 3.2% to 1.54 million hectares.

 

Reduction of acreage under Canalou in Canada will lead to a decrease in yield. A similar situation is observed in other countries. Thus, EU rapeseed sown 5.3 million hectares, which is 2.75 higher than the level of last year, but 10% below the average 5-year rate because of adverse weather in the fall prevented the North, especially in France.

 

In Ukraine, bad weather conditions in the autumn of the sowing area of rape decreased from 1.3 to 1.1 million hectares, and due to the spring drought, they can be reduced to 0.8-0.9 million ha.

 

However, the decline in world rapeseed production will not lead to rapid growth of prices, because the demand for it also fell under pressure from falling demand for biofuels.
