Production of wheat, corn, barley, and oats is anticipated to decrease six percent from the previous year, falling to 64.07 million metric tons (MMT) in marketing year (MY) 2026/27 on an assumption that total area planted will remain the same at 16.2 million hectares but yields will fall in line with their respective three-year averages. Corn imports in MY 2025/26 are anticipated to increase to 1.9 MMT, up from 1.68 MMT the previous year, primarily due to drought conditions in Ontario and Quebec that impacted production. Soil moisture conditions in the prairie provinces have improved in March 2025 compared to the same time last year, boosting confidence that the Prairies will avoid a drought year.
