New wheat crop trade and technical missions return with in-person sessions

Cereals Canada was finally able to resume its annual New Wheat Crop Trade and Technical Missions after a two year pause. 

During December and January four delegations travelled to 15 countries including Asia, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and the Gulf Region.

The chief executive officer for Cereals Canada, Dean Dias says over the past two years their team has done an excellent job presenting the information to customers in an online-only format.

He points out that one of their great strengths is building relationships and that's what makes these in-person Trade and Technical sessions so important.

Representatives from Cereals Canada, the Canadian Grain Commission, as well as Canadian grain farmers and exporters shared information with buyers, millers, bakers and processors on the 2022 wheat crop.

Video: OFA statement on Canada-U.S. trade escalation and Canadian counter-tariffs



Following the implementation of Canadian counter-tariffs on approximately $27.6 billion in U.S. imports earlier this week, the immediate retaliatory measures announced by the United States, including threatened import bans on Canadian dairy and alcoholic beverage products, underscore the dangerous trajectory of this dispute. Tariff escalation is not a long-term solution.

As consumers on both sides of the border struggle with food affordability, trade disruptions and retaliatory measures only exacerbate these challenges. Ontario farmers continue to urge both federal governments to return to the negotiating table and secure a fair, durable trade agreement that protects producers and processors across North America.
