Saskatchewan Agriculture Specialty Crop Report

2007-08 Mustard Production Summary
For 2007-08, production is forecast to increase because of the 18% higher seeded area and higher yields, while supply decreases as lower carry-in stocks more than offset the increase in production. Production is expected to increase for the yellow and brown types, but decrease for the oriental type. Exports are expected to fall slightly due to higher prices. Carry-out stocks are forecast to decrease sharply, with a s/u of 23%. The average price, over all types and grades, is expected to increase due to the lower supply.

2007 Seeding Intentions for Mustard
Statistics Canada's March 2007 survey of seeding intentions indicates that Saskatchewan farmers plan to seed 360,000 acres of mustard, a 22% increase over 2006.
