Glacier FarmMedia | MarketsFarm – There were only small changes to the updated supply/demand estimates from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) released Nov. 19. All of the other data in the AAFC report were carried over from its October report.
The department bumped up all wheat exports for 2024/25 to 25.70 million tonnes from 25.40 million last month. As well those for durum are now at 4.90 million tonnes, tacking on 100,000 tonnes. AAFC pointed to this year’s wheat and durum exports improving over those from the same time in 2023/24.

CBOT weekly: USDA/weather in focus for corn and soybeans
Warm Midwestern temperatures and timely precipitation weighed on corn and soybean futures at the Chicago Board of Trade coming out of the Independence Day long weekend. Weather should remain a major market driver through the growing season, although some short-term direction could come from the monthly United States Department of Agriculture supply/demand estimates due out on July 11.
That led to Canadian all wheat ending stocks for 2024/25 being reduced to 4.60 million tonnes from 4.90 million in October. Durum slipped to 800,000 tonnes from last month’s 900,000.
This is the final AAFC report using Statistic Canada’s principal field crop report from September. StatCan is scheduled to release its next report on Dec. 5 with the AAFC report set for Dec. 19.
