• Rationalization of Origination Assets/Players
• Canola and the Expansion of the Canola
Processing Industry
• Acreage – Crops and Returns
Deregulation
Deregulation of the Market
• Canadian Wheat Board monopoly ends
after 77 years (1935-2012)
• Open Market as of August 1, 2012
• Canadian Wheat Board’s Participation
Going Forward?
• Wheat/Barley account for 37 MMT or ~50%
of Cdn Grain/Oilseed production

Summary
• 2012/13 – Canadian Open Market Volumes
Increase Dramatically
• Grain and Oilseed handling in Canada has been
extensively rationalized over the past 20 years
• Strong Oil Demand Driving Investments in Canola
Processing
• Canadian Canola acres have doubled in the past
10 years as Farm-gate returns advance Canola
seed production
