Oilseed crushing and major grain deliveries statistics, September 2025

Oilseed crushing statistics

Oilseed processors crushed 1.0 million tonnes of canola in September, up 16.1% from August and 8.0% from September 2024. Oil production reached 425.3 thousand tonnes in September 2025, while meal production totalled 589.7 thousand tonnes.

Deliveries of major grains

Deliveries of major grains across Canada rose by 13.3% in September from the same month the previous year, totalling 7.2 million tonnes. Increases in total wheat (+14.0% to 4.1 million tonnes), barley (+86.1% to 828.0 thousand tonnes), and oats (+9.1% to 356.4 thousand tonnes) contributed to higher deliveries. Saskatchewan accounted for nearly half (47.9%) of all deliveries, while Alberta accounted for 30.0% and Manitoba accounted for 15.5%.

Major grains include wheat (excluding durum), durum wheat, oats, barley, rye, flaxseed and canola.

Focus on Canada and the United States

Producer deliveries capture grain that is destined for a primary elevator, feed mill, crushing plant or flour mill. This includes grain elevators that hold grain before it is exported, as well as shipments to US markets that are not licensed by the Canadian Grain Commission.

The imposition of tariffs by the United States may have an impact on producer deliveries of major grains in the coming months. In 2024, Canada exported a total of 4.5 million tonnes of wheat (excluding durum), durum wheat, oats, barley, rye, flaxseed and canola to the United States. Statistics Canada will continue to monitor developments on tariffs and the impact on producer deliveries.
