CWB Raises Export Target

The Canadian Wheat Board expects to export up to 15.8 million tonnes of wheat and barley in the current 2010-11 crop year, up about five per cent from its July estimate of 15.1 million tonnes but down sharply from last year’s 18.8 million tonnes, which was the highest volume in a decade. “October was important in getting the crop off, period,” chief operating officer Ward Weisensel said in an interview with Reuters. “We would have preferred to have that (weather) earlier because we would have had better quality, no question.”
