Pea Export Movement Slow in February
VANCOUVER - Mar 2/12 - SNS -- Bulk conventional exports of pulses and other specialty crops from Canada sank to their lowest level since April of 2010, with total shipments plunging 86% from both the previous month and the same month last year.
During the month, exporters loaded one ship at Vancouver with 37,834 metric tons (MT) of peas; and one vessel with 29,209 MT of lentils.
Looking forward, movement will likely remain down from last year in March. So far, exporters have nominated two vessels to lift peas and none to lift lentils from Vancouver this month.
