Bulk Canadian Canaryseed Supplier & Exporter
Bennett’s Seed supplies Saskatchewan-grown Canadian canary seed through contract-based bulk programs for global importers and Canadian buyers. Expect consistent specifications, lot IDs, and shipment documentation built for repeat purchasing, not one-off spot loads. We offer Natural, Polished, and Certified Organic canary seed programs, plus glabrous (hairless) dehulled ingredient options for food applications where required. Export and domestic programs are available based on destination, packaging, and timing.


How Our Supply Programs Work
Our group operates a program model designed for consistency and traceability: BNCP contracts directly with Saskatchewan growers and manages the supply program. After harvest, lots are cleaned, graded, and packaged at the nearest practical facility to origin to keep freight efficient and documentation consistent. Lots are then allocated to our market-facing subsidiaries, and Bennett’s Seed handles final sales to domestic Canadian buyers or export markets. This structure keeps the supply chain clean, predictable, and audit-friendly.
Typical Specifications (Buyer-Specific Targets by Program)
Specifications are set by contract and confirmed by lot. Below are typical program targets:
Natural Canary Seed (Cleaned)
Purity: ≥ 98.0% - Moisture: ≤ 10.0% - Foreign Material / Admixture: ≤ 1.0% - Packaging: bulk, 25 kg bags, or 1 MT totes (program-based)
Polished Canary Seed (Color-Sorted)
Purity: ≥ 99.5% - Moisture: ≤ 10.0% - Foreign Material / Admixture: ≤ 0.5% - Packaging: 25 kg bags or 1 MT totes (bulk by program)
Certified Organic Canary Seed (Program Supply)
Contract-aligned targets for purity and moisture.
Lot IDs and documentation pack aligned to buyer requirements.
Packaging per destination requirements (bags/totes/bulk).
Standards note (for importers): Canada’s official grading framework for canary seed includes grading factors such as foreign material and ergot. Buyer programs may specify tighter limits than baseline trade tolerances.
Glabrous (Hairless) Canary Seed for Food Applications
For food ingredient development, we support glabrous (hairless) canary seed programs where required, including dehulled groats and milled ingredients by request and availability. Health Canada has assessed dehulled (hairless) canary seed for use as whole groats, meals, and flours in applications such as bakery, cereals, pasta, snacks, and nutritional bars.
