Wheat grain classes
Classification of wheat greatly varies by the producing country.
Originally, the wheat classes in Argentina were related to the production region or port of shipment: Rosafe (grown in Santa Fe province, shipped through Rosario), Bahia Blanca (grown in Buenos Aires and La Pampa provinces and shipped through Bahia Blanca), Buenos Aires (shipped through the port of Buenos Aires). While mostly similar to the US Hard Red Spring wheat, the classification caused inconsistencies, so Argentina had introduced three new classes of wheat,[when?] with all names using a prefix Trigo Dura Argentina (TDA) and a number:
The grain classification in Australia is within the purview of the National Pool Classification Panel. Australia had chosen to measure the protein content at 11% moisture basis (m.b.). The measured (meas.) and average (avg.) values below are based on the results of testing over the 2002–2005 period.
The decisions on the wheat classification in Canada are coordinated by the Variety Registration Office of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Like in the US system, the eight classes in Western Canada and six classes in Eastern Canada are based on colour, season, and hardness. The measured (meas.) and average (avg.) values below are mostly based on the results of testing over the 1996–2005 period (* marks 2001–2005 results). Canada has a unique requirement that the varieties of wheat grains should allow for purely visual identification.
The classification of wheat grains in France is controlled by the Groupe d'étude et de contrôle des variétés et des semences (GEVES) and the Institut Technique des Céréales et des Fourrages (ITCF, now part of Arvalis – Institut du végétal), with the involvement of Céréaliers de France group. Most French wheat is of red winter type.
