About Cereals Canada
Canadian agriculture faced a year of signi¿cant disruption in 2025. Geopolitical instability, trade uncertainty, and shifting tariff environments have placed signi¿cant pressure across the cereals sector, underscoring that collaboration across the value chain is not optional, it is essential. In times of uncertainty, the strength of Canadian cereals lies in the relationships that connect farmers, exporters, life-science, processors, customers, and industry partners through a shared commitment to quality and reliability.
Canada will be the world’s preferred choice for quality cereals and trusted relationships.
Annual Report | 2025-2026
Chairperson’s Message
Canadian agriculture faced a year of signi¿cant disruption in 2025. Geopolitical instability, trade uncertainty, and shifting tariff environments have placed signi¿cant pressure across the cereals sector, underscoring that collaboration across the value chain is not optional, it is essential. In times of uncertainty, the strength of Canadian cereals lies in the relationships that connect farmers, exporters, life-science, processors, customers, and industry partners through a shared commitment to quality and reliability.
The United States’ Reciprocal Trade Agreements with nine countries, including key Canadian wheat markets such as Indonesia and Bangladesh, underscore the urgency of defending and expanding market access in strategically important regions. This is where Cereals Canada’s work becomes critical. We protect and grow markets that sustain Canadian farmers and exporters through trade missions, customer engagement, and technical support. Data, technical performance, and market intelligence matter, and when backed by trusted relationships, they become transformative.
This year, the Board of Directors also looked ahead, aligning on a new strategic plan to guide the future of Cereals Canada. This direction sets clear goals to position Canadian cereals for long-term global success and reinforces Canada’s role as a trusted supplier of wheat, durum, barley, and oats. It reÀects our commitment to excellence, growth, and uni¿ed leadership in a rapidly changing environment.
As my term as Board Chair comes to a close, I reÀect on what makes this industry great and the collaboration, partnerships, and trusted investments that drive us forward. I am grateful for the partnerships this organization has built and the friendships that I have made over my term. I believe that by continuing to work together across the value chain, we will keep Canadian cereals competitive, trusted, and ready to meet the needs of customers both domestically and around the world.
Our vision is to be the world’s preferred choice for quality cereals and trusted relationships, supported by a value chain that is resilient, innovative, and responsive to change. To advance this vision, we are focused on three strategic priorities: strengthening Canada’s competitive position in global markets; amplifying Canadian leadership through strategic inÀuence and alignment; and building organizational capacity to deliver long-term value.

CEO’s Message
Over the past year, Cereals Canada continued to advance its vision of making Canada the world’s preferred choice for quality cereals and trusted relationships. In a dynamic global trade environment, our team remained focused on protecting market access, strengthening customer con¿dence, and creating new opportunities for Canadian cereals in both domestic and
This year also provided an opportunity to recognize the people behind this work. We celebrated several long-term staff members who have been with us for 15, 25 and 35 years. Our staff bring professionalism, expertise, and care to every interaction with members, customers, and industry partners. Their dedication is central to our ability to deliver on our promise of an exceptional customer experience and meaningful value across the sector.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to ensuring Canadian quality translates into value for customers and returns across the entire value chain. This includes continued work in market access, market development, market diversi¿cation and science-based advocacy. Progress on the Global Agriculture Technology Exchange (Gate) reÀects strong con¿dence in this vision and marks an important step toward expanding Canada’s capacity to deliver technical expertise, market support, and customer
This year, our team engaged with buyers in 59 countries, including 50 current international customers whose combined average purchases of Canadian cereals are valued at $11.7 billion. Through technical programming, trade missions, webinars, and direct support, we demonstrated the quality and functionality of Canadian wheat while reinforcing Canada’s reputation as a reliable supplier. At the same time, our advocacy and market access efforts helped address barriers, support innovation, protect key markets, and ensure customers continue to have con¿dence
By combining technical credibility with collaboration across the value chain, Cereals Canada is helping to ensure Canadian cereals remain competitive, responsive, and valued in markets around the world and we saw this in this past year’s activities. Our success is built on the success of our customers and members, and that is strengthened by the leadership of our Board.
Our technical work also remained central to delivering value, and we expanded our analysis for the New Crop Report. In 2025, Canada produced a high-quality wheat crop with above-average volumes, and our New Wheat Crop Report provided the independent data customers rely on to make informed purchasing decisions. We also expanded our Harvest Assessment work to include Eastern wheat classes for the ¿rst time, strengthening our national technical capacity. Beyond export markets, we supported domestic demand through continued outreach that highlights the nutritional and economic value of Canadian cereals, and new initiatives such as the Canadian Millers Program.
I would like to sincerely thank our members, the Board of Directors, and Brett for his dedicated service and strong leadership as Chair. His commitment to the organization has helped guide Cereals Canada over the last two years, and we are grateful for his contributions.

About Cereals Canada
Canadian agriculture faced a year of signi¿cant disruption in 2025. Geopolitical instability, trade uncertainty, and shifting tariff environments have placed signi¿cant pressure across the cereals sector, underscoring that collaboration across the value chain is not optional, it is essential. In times of uncertainty, the strength of Canadian cereals lies in the relationships that connect farmers, exporters, life-science, processors, customers, and industry partners through a shared commitment to quality and reliability.
Canada will be the world’s preferred choice for quality cereals and trusted relationships.
Annual Report | 2025-2026
Chairperson’s Message
Canadian agriculture faced a year of signi¿cant disruption in 2025. Geopolitical instability, trade uncertainty, and shifting tariff environments have placed signi¿cant pressure across the cereals sector, underscoring that collaboration across the value chain is not optional, it is essential. In times of uncertainty, the strength of Canadian cereals lies in the relationships that connect farmers, exporters, life-science, processors, customers, and industry partners through a shared commitment to quality and reliability.
The United States’ Reciprocal Trade Agreements with nine countries, including key Canadian wheat markets such as Indonesia and Bangladesh, underscore the urgency of defending and expanding market access in strategically important regions. This is where Cereals Canada’s work becomes critical. We protect and grow markets that sustain Canadian farmers and exporters through trade missions, customer engagement, and technical support. Data, technical performance, and market intelligence matter, and when backed by trusted relationships, they become transformative.
This year, the Board of Directors also looked ahead, aligning on a new strategic plan to guide the future of Cereals Canada. This direction sets clear goals to position Canadian cereals for long-term global success and reinforces Canada’s role as a trusted supplier of wheat, durum, barley, and oats. It reÀects our commitment to excellence, growth, and uni¿ed leadership in a rapidly changing environment.
As my term as Board Chair comes to a close, I reÀect on what makes this industry great and the collaboration, partnerships, and trusted investments that drive us forward. I am grateful for the partnerships this organization has built and the friendships that I have made over my term. I believe that by continuing to work together across the value chain, we will keep Canadian cereals competitive, trusted, and ready to meet the needs of customers both domestically and around the world.
Our vision is to be the world’s preferred choice for quality cereals and trusted relationships, supported by a value chain that is resilient, innovative, and responsive to change. To advance this vision, we are focused on three strategic priorities: strengthening Canada’s competitive position in global markets; amplifying Canadian leadership through strategic inÀuence and alignment; and building organizational capacity to deliver long-term value.
Brett Halstead

CEO’s Message
Over the past year, Cereals Canada continued to advance its vision of making Canada the world’s preferred choice for quality cereals and trusted relationships. In a dynamic global trade environment, our team remained focused on protecting market access, strengthening customer con¿dence, and creating new opportunities for Canadian cereals in both domestic and
This year also provided an opportunity to recognize the people behind this work. We celebrated several long-term staff members who have been with us for 15, 25 and 35 years. Our staff bring professionalism, expertise, and care to every interaction with members, customers, and industry partners. Their dedication is central to our ability to deliver on our promise of an exceptional customer experience and meaningful value across the sector.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to ensuring Canadian quality translates into value for customers and returns across the entire value chain. This includes continued work in market access, market development, market diversi¿cation and science-based advocacy. Progress on the Global Agriculture Technology Exchange (Gate) reÀects strong con¿dence in this vision and marks an important step toward expanding Canada’s capacity to deliver technical expertise, market support, and customer
This year, our team engaged with buyers in 59 countries, including 50 current international customers whose combined average purchases of Canadian cereals are valued at $11.7 billion. Through technical programming, trade missions, webinars, and direct support, we demonstrated the quality and functionality of Canadian wheat while reinforcing Canada’s reputation as a reliable supplier. At the same time, our advocacy and market access efforts helped address barriers, support innovation, protect key markets, and ensure customers continue to have con¿dence
By combining technical credibility with collaboration across the value chain, Cereals Canada is helping to ensure Canadian cereals remain competitive, responsive, and valued in markets around the world and we saw this in this past year’s activities. Our success is built on the success of our customers and members, and that is strengthened by the leadership of our Board.
Our technical work also remained central to delivering value, and we expanded our analysis for the New Crop Report. In 2025, Canada produced a high-quality wheat crop with above-average volumes, and our New Wheat Crop Report provided the independent data customers rely on to make informed purchasing decisions. We also expanded our Harvest Assessment work to include Eastern wheat classes for the ¿rst time, strengthening our national technical capacity. Beyond export markets, we supported domestic demand through continued outreach that highlights the nutritional and economic value of Canadian cereals, and new initiatives such as the Canadian Millers Program.
I would like to sincerely thank our members, the Board of Directors, and Brett for his dedicated service and strong leadership as Chair. His commitment to the organization has helped guide Cereals Canada over the last two years, and we are grateful for his contributions.

Canadian Millers Program: Filling a Critical Gap in Skills Training
Canada is its own largest customer. More than 3.5 million tonnes of wheat, durum, and oats are processed domestically each year into Àour, groats, and meal, exceeding exports to any single country. This processing activity generates over $9 billion in economic output and supports more than 20,000 full-time equivalent jobs across the country.
In 2025, Cereals Canada launched a new program to support domestic expertise by providing early-career millers with hands-on training in milling and plant operations. Developed in partnership with the Canadian National Millers Association, the inaugural two-day program brought together 14 participants from across Canada.
Building on this momentum, Cereals Canada delivered a two-day immersive milling course in March 2026 to 13 participants, providing early-career professionals with practical training in milling processes and Àour mill operations. The program strengthened technical knowledge, built industry connections, and enhanced participants’ con¿dence, supporting ongoing skills development across the grain and milling sector.
