Bulk Pea Exports Slowed In March
WINNIPEG - May 3/24 - SNS -- The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) reports 76,800 metric tons (MT) field pea were loaded for export through licensed terminal and primary elevators which are required to report to it all grain movement in March.
The CGC data does not include exports from non-reporting locations. It is important to recall that the CGC data may not match official export data. The CGC counts product when it is loaded to ships, while Statistics Canada bases its calculations on the bill of lading date.
This lifted bulk export loadings for field peas for the marketing year to 1,742,900 MT, up 22% from the 1,429,300 loaded during the previous marketing year.
