Canada's 2020-2024 retreat of 498,470 tonnes stands at 172 percent of the common-universe net decline of 289,599 tonnes: the leader shrank faster than its market, with gains in Australia, Finland and Estonia absorbing much of the fall. That Canada still holds 45.8 percent at a 3.01 ratio shows how far ahead it started.

The top three hold 70.8 percent of the listed 2024 total, the top five 78.5 percent and the top ten 88.7 percent. European exporters cluster behind the leader, with Finland, Poland, Estonia, Sweden, France, Latvia, the Czech Republic (47,212 tonnes) and Denmark (29,272 tonnes), while Australia carries Oceania almost alone and the United States (38,292 tonnes) trails far behind its northern neighbour.

Methodology

Reporter totals for oats exports add up FAO Detailed Trade Matrix bilateral flows for 2020-2024, separately for quantity and for value. Russia’s 76,153 tonnes in 2020 and 198,870 tonnes in 2021 have no counterpart from 2022 onward, which is why reporter continuity matters here: only countries present in both compared years feed change arithmetic. The oats exports series displays quantities below 1,000 tonnes to two decimals and larger quantities as whole tonnes; its values are full current US dollars without inflation adjustment. The 2024 oats exports ranking and shares use 2024 listed quantities; values are not used for ranking. In the oats exports data, zero means a reported nil or negligible flow; an empty cell means no quantity was reported. The oats exports change uses overlapping reporters only; countries entering or leaving the listed set are shown separately. Partner-derived gap filling and food-aid additions can apply, and unreconciled bilateral pairs mean an export entry and its mirror import may not match.
