Bulk Pea Clearances Maintain Pace

WINNIPEG - Mar 1/18 - SNS -- The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) reports 182,900 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 January.

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.

This lifted bulk export loadings for field peas to 1,036,800 MT so far this marketing year, little changed from the 1,033,300 loaded during the same period in the previous marketing year.

Movement during the month was up 13% from the 161,700 MT shipped the previous month and up 113% from the 85,700 MT shipped the same month last year.
