December Bulk Pea Movement Steady
WINNIPEG - Feb 3/17 - SNS -- The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) reports 217,700 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 December.
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 almost triple the 76,800 MT shipped the same month last year but down 8% from the 236,200 MT loaded for export the previous month.
Movement so far this marketing year is up from the previous season, at a record 1.885 million MT, compared to 1.358 during the first five months of previous marketing year.
