Ontario is a significant producer of grains and oilseeds, with highly diversified domestic and export markets.
Where does Ontario grain go?
The Ontario grain industry is complex due to the size of the province, the wide range of transportation options, the interprovincial transfers of grains for certain export markets, the increased use of on-farm storage, and the movement of Western Canadian grain through Ontario ports. Understanding the current utilization of Ontario crops is complex and requires compiling multiple data and information sources.
