# Oats production forecast sharply higher but uncertainty remains

> Trade expectations for the 2022 North American oat crop are high after record-low supplies and strong demand from beverage and gluten-free makers. Statistics Canada reported oat plantings up 16% to 4 million acres, but late seeding and conflicting government crop data leave the outlook uncertain. Oat prices have been falling along with broader grain prices.

## Why it matters

A larger Canadian and US oat crop would ease the tight supply that has supported prices, but late seeding and summer heat risks could limit yields.
