 Canada Durum Wheat Facts
- Durum wheat is grown exclusively in the western Prairie region of
Canada, and primarily in the province of Saskatchewan.
- There are two broad categories of wheat varieties: durum and
non-durum. Depending on quality, durum wheat is used by the pasta
industry, and non-durum is used by either the milling industry or the
livestock feed industry.
- Durum wheat is planted in spring, from May to June, and harvested from August
to October.
- Durum wheat is lower yielding than non-durum wheat, and is typically
around 20 percent of total wheat production.
- On a global scale, Canada is a major durum wheat producer.
Fluctuations in Canadian production due to weather can have a
significant impact on the world durum wheat supply.
- Average annual production of durum wheat in Canada from 1997-2001 was
around 4.5 million tons. For the most current durum wheat statistics for
Canada, please see the most recent issue of Grains and Oilseeds
Outlook from
Agriculture Canada.
