June 1999 Edition
Reduced 1999/2000 Crop Prospects Will Limit Export Rebound
While exports have been extremely low in 1998/99,
the factors contributing to the poor export performance of wheat
and barley are quite different. Historically, Canadian wheat
exports have typically varied with production- the Canadian Wheat
Board has generally been successful in moving wheat onto the
world market when it was available. However, in 1998/99 many of
Canada's top export markets either sourced their wheat from other
destinations, or had extremely low import demand resulting from
strong domestic harvests. Lower barley production, coupled with
swelling domestic feed demand has all but eliminated Canada as an
exporter of feed barley.
In 1999/2000, Canadian barley exports will likely remain quite low, as reduced production and continued strong feed demand will curtail exportable supplies. While wheat exports in 1999/2000 are projected to rise, the 2nd lowest crop in ten years will keep exports below average.
