Canada to harvest another good wheat yield
Wheat yield in Canada will be 29.1 mln tons in 2017 - 2018, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada reports. Yield will be 2.6 lower than last year, but still this will be the fourth highest yield in the past 20 years.

Hard wheat areas will go down by 15% and, if production is standard, yield will be 5.8 mln tons, which is 25% lower than the record level of 2016.

Soft wheat areas will grow, partially compensating the hard wheat decline.

With these yield levels, 21.3 mln tons of wheat will be exported from the country, which will be again a fourth best result for the past 20 years.
