After spending time in Japan, Canada's new crop mission tour has now made its way to South Korea.

Along on the trip is Gary Stanford, an Alberta producer who also serves as president of the Grain Growers of Canada.

He said buyers have been asking a lot of questions about the quality of the year's wheat crop.

"I know they're concerned with some of the Fusarium issues and some of the later harvesting. They were trying to explain to them that some of the stuff with more Fusarium, it would not be exported to Japan and that it would be used internally in Canada for some of the lower quality feeds or it might have to go into the livestock sector," explained Stanford.

He notes despite the quality issues, there is plenty of No 1 and No 2 Grade wheat to export to countries like South Korea and Japan.

The group will be moving on to China for four days before ending the new crop mission tour in Singapore.

The delegation also includes exporters, the Canadian Grain Commission, Cigi, and Cereals Canada.
