Canadian farmers are expecting to plant the largest wheat crop in more than two decades this year amid strong demand for wheat
The Canadian Press
Statistics Canada said Wednesday that farmers anticipate planting 23 million acres of wheat, up 6.2 per cent from the previous year.
According to the federal agency’s report on principal field crop areas, the anticipated growth is possibly due to favourable prices and strong demand for wheat.
“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine more than a year ago drove up global wheat prices, as Ukraine has been one of the world’s largest wheat exporters.”
