Released: 2025-04-28
Oilseed crushing statistics
Oilseed processors crushed 1.0 million tonnes of canola in March. Oil production totalled 436 100 tonnes, while meal production totalled 607 300 tonnes.
Deliveries of major grains
Deliveries of major grains across Canada totalled 5.1 million tonnes in March, with Saskatchewan accounting for more than half (52.5%) of deliveries. Grain producers delivered 1.5 million tonnes of canola and 2.9 million tonnes of total wheat.
Major grains include wheat (excluding durum), durum wheat, oats, barley, rye, flaxseed and canola.
Focus on Canada and the United States
Producer deliveries capture grain which is destined for a primary elevator, feed mill, crushing plant, or flour mill. This includes grain elevators that hold grain before it is exported, as well as shipments to US markets which are not licensed by the Canadian Grain Commission.
The imposition of tariffs by the United States may have an impact on producer deliveries of major grains in the coming months. In 2024, Canada exported a total of 4.5 million tonnes of wheat (excluding durum), durum wheat, oats, barley, rye, flaxseed and canola to the United States. Statistics Canada will continue to monitor developments on tariffs and the impact on producer deliveries.
