Canadian Grain Situation: Wheat and Barley Exports Diverge
Canadian wheat supplies are
expected to reach 10-year highs this year with very large carryin stocks,
and despite a reduction this month, expectations are still for an
above-average size crop. With sharply lower production in most other global
suppliers, especially the United States, Canadian exports are consequently
expected to surge, particularly hard spring wheat. The poor quality of the
past 2 years has restricted much growth in sales, but a return to normal
quality this year would make Canadian supplies more attractive. Soft wheat
exports are also expected to rise due to a large crop in Ontario, and
substantial sales have already been made to Egypt and India. Durum exports,
however, will likely fall as better crops in North Africa reduce import
demand. |
CIRCULAR MODIFICATIONS
FAS will release a new version of PSD Online on August 31, 2006. It retains all of the ease-of-use and functionality of the current version, while incorporating some new features. Samples of the new data attributes and format can be obtained from the FAS website (http://www.fas.usda.gov/psdonline/psdHome.aspx).
The new system will allow us to overhaul this Circular so readers will notice a new look beginning in September. This revised format will be "in transition" over the next several months, as we make use of the expanded capabilities of the new PSD system.
Your comments on the new Circular will be welcome and can be sent to gfd@usda.gov. We thank you in advance for your patience over the next few months.
