Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada projects Canadian 2026/27 oat seeded area down 15% to 1.03 million hectares and production down 23% to 3.03 million tonnes. Total supply is projected at 3.63 million tonnes, down 18%, with ending stocks roughly halved.
The analysis expects the smaller crop to support higher CBOT oat prices.
A sharp drop in Canadian output tightens the new-crop oat supply and could lift oat feed prices, which feed buyers would need to price in.
