"Canada Agribusiness Report Q2 2015" now available at Fast Market Research

We believe that Canada will experience another year-on-year decline in grains production in 2015/16, as lower average prices and high stocks will limit incentives for farmers. The country's poultry industry is well placed to post strong growth in 2015 and beyond, while we believe that the Canadian beef and pork industries will gain the most from having signed the EU-Canada Free Trade Agreement in October 2013

* Wheat production growth 2012/13 to 2017/18: 2.9 % to 28 .0mn tonnes. Disregarding the bumper 2013/14 crop, wheat production will marginally tick up over the coming years, though will be limited by lower prices relative to historical levels and problems affecting the country's logistics network.
* Poultry production growth to 2017/18: 12.1 % to 1.2mn tonnes. This will be due to consumers' perception that poultry is a healthier meat, along with increasing export opportunities. High poultry prices and the recent signing of the EU-Canada Free Trade Agreement are also expected to stimulate production.
* 201 5 real GDP growth: 2. 3 % year-on-year (y-o-y). An increase compared with 2.1% in 2014.
* 2015 c onsumer price inflation : 2.1 % y-o-y average. An increase compared with 1.7% in 2014.
* BMI universe agribusiness market value: 10.7 % y-o-y decrease to USD32.2bn in 2014/15. Forecast to increase by an average of 1.8% annually between 2015/16 and 2017/18.

Industry Outlook

Canadian grain production will fall in both 2014/15 and 2015/16 as area devoted to most crops will decline on the back of lower prices y-o-y. Wheat exports will remain strong due to elevated internal stocks, the depreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar and minimum shipping requirements on domestic freight companies.
