Canada

Wheat is a staple food for 35% of the world’s population and is Canada’s largest field crop grown. Every year, Canada exports wheat to more than 80 countries. Canadian wheat is also used domestically for food, feed and fuel. Canada remains one of the world’s top exporters of high-quality durum. Working with Prairie Grain Development Committee, Cereals Canada continues to participate in discussions and evaluations of durum breeding lines that have low cadmium content, high protein and yellow pigment contents with high semolina milling extraction rates. This sets Canadian durum apart from other exporting countries in the world marketplace.
