Russia\u0027s invasion of Ukraine is hindering shipments from one of the world\u0027s vital breadbaskets, leaving grain importers scouring for supplies elsewhere.
Acres of spring wheat in Canada, one of the world’s top exporters, could rise two to three per cent in 2022 as soaring prices encourage growers to shift acres from oats, pulses and durum, said Neil Townsend, chief market analyst at FarmLink.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is hindering shipments from one of the world’s vital breadbaskets, leaving grain importers scouring for supplies elsewhere. “The spring wheat market is on a tear,” said Stephen Vandervalk, vice president of Alberta for the Western Canadian Wheat Growers.The potential boost in wheat acreage comes amid lingering concerns about dry conditions in Canada. Drought zapped as much of 40 per cent of Western Canada’s grain output last year and swaths of Alberta and Saskatchewan remain under extreme drought conditions, according to the Canadian Drought Monitor.
Stockpiles are insufficient to support additional wheat exports from Canada until growers harvest a new crop. While parts of major growing areas remain dry, spring wheat is able to handle drought better than other crops, Vandervalk said.
