Lentil prices, exports and stocks on the Prairies
No lentils left the terminals in bulk for a second week, country elevators kept filling slowly, and price quotes held or eased slightly.
Updated every week. Latest data: week ending Nov 8, 2026, crop week 14.
In the week ending Nov 8, 2026, Canadian lentil deliveries to country elevators were 25,000 tonnes, according to the Canadian Grain Commission.
This week in plain words
- Saskatchewan's lentil quotes did not change this week, and two Alberta quotes eased.
- With bulk loadings stopped, elevators shipped little, and their stocks now last about twice the usual number of weeks.
- A return of bulk vessels would draw on those stocks; a longer pause would leave the bulk export season further behind.
