In Ukraine, UkrAgroConsult reported that Canadian farmers are projected to produce more wheat, canola, grain corn, barley, and oats in 2025, but less soybeans, compared to 2024, according to data by Statistics Canada.
The entity’s August Major Field Crop Assessment, released on September 17, cited higher yields and generally favorable weather as reasons for the increase.
Canola production is expected to increase by 4.1% to 20 million tons in 2025. This expected increase is driven by a 6.2% increase in crop yield to 2.59 t/ha, offsetting a reduction in harvested area, which is projected to decline by 2% to 8.66 million hectares, according to the report.
Soybean production is forecast to decline 5.7% year-on-year to 7.1 million tons in 2025, driven by a 6.9% decline in yield to 2.87 t/ha, while harvested area is expected to increase 1.3% to 2.31 million hectares.
Meanwhile, wheat production is forecast to increase 1.9% year-on-year to 36.6 million tons in 2025, largely due to higher yields, which are expected to increase 1.8% to 3.2 t/ha.
