Record Bulk Pea Loadings In 2015-16

WINNIPEG - Aug 23/16 - SNS -- The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) reports 23,000 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 July.

The CGC data does not include exports in containers or from non-reporting terminals. 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.

The CGC reports exports are up 85% from the 12,600 MT shipped the same month last year but down 79% from the 111,100 MT loaded for export the previous month.

Movement for the marketing year is up from the previous season, at a record 2.36 million MT, compared to 2.18 million during the previous marketing year.
