Bulk Peas Close Season on Strong Note
WINNIPEG - Sep 5/18 - SNS -- The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) reports 201,800 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 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 bulk export loadings finished the 2017-18 marketing year down 38% from the 3.347 million MT loaded the previous marketing year.
Movement during the month was up 83% from 110,400 MT hipped the previous month and almost five times the 35,600 MT shipped the same month last year.
