    Foreign media September 14 news: On Tuesday, Statistics Canada released a report that the continued dry weather in western Canada has had more severe impacts on rapeseed and wheat production than estimated a few weeks ago
    .
    This year, the western part of Canada experienced record high temperatures in the summer and scarce rainfall, resulting in a significant reduction in Canadian crop yields
    .
     
    According to a production model using satellite imagery, Statistics Canada predicts that the rapeseed production in 2021/22 will be 12.
    8 million tons, which is about 2 million tons lower than the estimated value on August 30 and a decrease of 34.
    4% from last year, a record since 2010.
    Due to the drought in the prairie, the yield per unit fell to the lowest level in a decade, only 25.
    3 bu/acre, a year-on-year decrease of 39.
    5%, which offset the 8.
    1% increase in harvested area
    .
     
    After the report was released, ICE's rapeseed futures rose strongly, up 4.
    4%
    .
     
    As of the end of August, the rapeseed harvest in Alberta has reached 26%, which is higher than 10% in the same period last year and more than twice the average progress of 11% in 2016-2020
    .
    The harvest progress in Saskatchewan is 40%, which is higher than the 28% in the same period last year and the five-year average of 22%

    Manitoba harvested 35%, higher than the 13% in the same period last year and the five-year average of 28%

      Statistics Canada lowered the forecast value of all wheat production in Canada to 21.
    7 million tons, which was lower than the previous estimate of 22.
    9 million tons, which was a decrease of 38.
    3% from 2020, as the yield fell to 35.
    2 bu/acre, a decrease of 32.
    6% year-on-year; harvested area It fell to 22.
    7 million acres, a decrease of 8.
    5% year-on-year
    .
     
      The main reason for the decline in wheat production is spring wheat.
    In addition to the reduced planting area, the drought in Western Canada has also led to a reduction in spring wheat production
    .
    Statistics Canada lowered its forecast for spring wheat production from 16.
    1 million tons to 15.
    3 million tons, a 41% decrease from the previous year and the lowest output since 2007
