Canadian wheat farms have grown despite considerable economic volatility through the end of 2024. The industry is highly globalized and reliant on trade, which has improved following the dismantling of the Canadian Wheat Board in 2012; the board had restricted the marketing freedom of farms. Demand for Canadian wheat abroad has risen because of its reputation for high quality. Favourable price increases driven by world wheat prices have improved farm revenue and profitability. Improved trade ties with emerging economies have also aided growth by helping farmers tap into demand from new markets. Wheat farming revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 4.7% to an estimated $16.2 billion through the end of 2024, despite a decrease of 2.5% in 2024 because of waning wheat demand. Strong wheat prices have been the primary driver of revenue growth in recent years. The world price of wheat grew by a staggering 43.3% in 2021, followed by 35.5% in 2022, as global supply levels contracted. Canadian wheat prices surged the same year amid an intense drought that cut crop yields, making wheat a rare commodity. Strong revenue growth, combined with technological advancements, has enabled profit expansion for Canada's wheat farmers. Moving forward, a continued gain in the world price of wheat, counteracted some by flagging demand, will drag down revenue growth. Exports will continue to expand, albeit at a slower pace, as external competition from other grains and wheat production in other countries intensifies. Uncertainty regarding global wheat yields will also pose a threat to Canadian wheat farmers. Wheat is susceptible to various weather changes, meaning that industry performance can be drastically disrupted at any time. Revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 0.8% to $16.8 billion through the end of 2029.

The Census of Agriculture is the cornerstone of Canada's Agriculture Statistics Program. Census of Agriculture data are an indispensable public and private sector tool for analysing important changes in the agriculture and food industries; developing, implementing and evaluating agricultural policies and programs such as farm income safety nets and environmental sustainability; and making production, marketing and investment decisions. Statistics Canada uses the data as benchmarks for its regular surveys on crops, livestock and farm finances between census years. This release contains all farm and farm operator data.

Over the five years to 2023, farm supplies wholesalers enjoyed considerable growth. Even amid the outbreak of COVID-19, when fertilizer prices fell, low-interest rates incentivized downstream farmers to invest in land and equipment, spurring the need for more fertilizers and pesticides. Strong demand for Canadian agricultural exports bolstered growth for wholesalers. Industry-wide revenue has grown at a CAGR of 8.5% to $48.4 billion over the five years to 2023, including an estimated 19.6% jump in 2023 alone, when profit is expected to remain stable at 3.0%.Much of the growth wholesalers enjoyed over the current period was price-based. Truck and rail strikes in Canada led to climbing potash prices as the country is a major fertilizer producer. Sanctions placed on Russia following the country's invasion of Ukraine considerably affected the price of fertilizers since the country is a significant producer of fertilizer and key inputs like natural gas.Over the five years to 2028, wholesalers are expected to continue to enjoy growth but at a slower rate than in the current period. While fertilizer prices will remain high because of lingering supply chain woes induced by COVID-19 and uncertainty surrounding the Russia-Ukraine conflict, price increases will be much less. As more wholesalers begin operating, price-based competition will ramp up and hinder profit growth over the outlook period. Industry revenue is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 0.5% to $49.7 billion over the five years to 2028.
