Oats are among the healthiest grains on earth with studies indicating eating oats and oatmeal contributes to lower blood sugar levels, a reduced risk of heart disease and weight loss. The advent of the coronavirus once again brought into the focus the importance of adequate healthcare and healthy lifestyle. It is expected to reinforce the trend in consumer preference shift towards consuming healthy food, which is likely to increase the demand in the global oats market. Rising demand expectations are bullish for oats. At the same time in Canada, the top world exporter of oats, farmers intend to plant 3.8 million acres of oats in 2020 - 6.3% more acres from a year earlier, according to Statistics Canada’s Principal field crop areas, March 2020 survey. And in US, the top world importer and sixth largest producer of oats, the Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service ( NASS ) estimates oats planted area for 2020 at 3.01 million acres, up 7 percent from last year, according to Prospective Plantings report released March 31, 2020. Higher supply estimates are a downside risk for oats price.
