FAO/GIEWS - Foodcrops & Shortages 11/00 - CANADA (10 November)
In Canada, by mid-October, the wheat harvest was reported to be virtually complete. The duration of the harvest has been somewhat longer than normal this year due to wet weather across the major growing areas during most of September. Aggregate wheat production in 2000 is now officially forecast at nearly 26 million tonnes, 4 percent lower than last year and just below the five-year average. The latest forecast of aggregate coarse grain production in 2000 has been revised downward since the last report to some 25 million tonnes, almost 6 percent down from last year and 5 percent below the five-year average.
