In Canada, Canada Cattlemen reported that Western Australia will produce nearly 1 million metric tons more wheat this season than was expected a month, according to the Grain Industry Association of Western Australia (GIWA).
The entity also raised its production forecasts for canola by 490,000 tons and for barley by 200,000 tons.
“The state is on track to come close to or possibly exceed the 2022 season’s record production,” GIWA said in a monthly crop report.
Western Australia is now set to produce 12.6 million tons of wheat, a record-high 7.3 million tons of barley and 3.8 million tons of canola, GIWA said.
That compares to average production over the last five years of 11.2 million tons of wheat, 5.2 million tons of barley and 2.8 million tons of canola.
