Grain sale pact with USSR boosts Prairie farmers
Canada and the USSR sign a long term grain sales agreement. The USSR will buy at least 25 million tonnes of Canadian wheat and feed grains from August 1986 to July 1991, amid record grain stocks and low prices. Despite price worries, the deal signals strong demand for high quality Canadian grain.

USSR Grain Pact Impacts Canadian Trade Balance
Under the current agreement Canada supplies 25 million tonnes of grain over five years, while the USSR bought about 30 million tonnes in four years. The Soviet Union remains Canada’s top wheat customer, taking over one third of Canada’s wheat exports last year. The trade imbalance favors Canada about 75 to one, driven largely by grain sales, a situation the Soviets say should be communicated to farmers and all Canadians.
