Bulk Pea Movement Soars
WINNIPEG - Oct 28/16 - SNS -- The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) reports 794,600 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 September.
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 135% from the 587,800 MT shipped the same month last year and almost triple the 292,000 MT loaded for export the previous month.
Movement so far this marketing year is up from the previous season, at a record 1.087 million MT, compared to 870,800 during the first two months of previous marketing year.
