Bulk Pea Exports Jump In June
WINNIPEG - Jul 24/19 - SNS -- The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) reports 231,700 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 May.
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 1,927,100 MT so far this marketing year, down 4% from the 1,865,000 loaded during the same period in the previous marketing year.
Movement during the month was up 25% from the 184,700 MT shipped the previous month and more than double the 110,400 MT shipped the same month last year.
