Canadian trading firms exported 1.53mn t of soft wheat over 15 December-11 January, bringing their total exports for the 2025-26 season (August-July) so far to 10.4mn t — the highest for this point in the season since at least 2016, according to Argus tracking.
Exporters shipped more than 525,000t of soft wheat in the week ending 28 December, which is typically a week in which no wheat is exported because of the holiday period, as seen in 2019-24.
Canada exported an average of 470,000 t/week of wheat over 3 August-28 December, which was higher than in previous years and the second highest for the period since 2018-19, when 403,000 t/week were exported. Exports slowed to 256,000 t/week in 29 December-11 January, which is below average compared with the same weeks in previous years.
If exports continue at this slower pace, Canada will still have exported a cumulative 11.7mn t by mid-February, which would be more than the 11.5mn t shipped in the whole of the 2021-22 season.
