Pulse Canada Gets $1.5 M Grant
WINNIPEG - Jan 21/14 - SNS -- Pulse Canada received a $1.5 million grant from Agriculture Canada's AgriMarketing Program to lead a multi-sector collaboration project of the pulse, oilseeds and grains industries to improve supply chain efficiency and reliability.
This project is a collaborative effort and will receive support from many partners, including the Grain Growers of Canada (GCG), the Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA), the Western Grain Elevators Association (WGEA) and the Inland Terminals Association of Canada (ITAC).
"There has been a lot of talk about the need for more collaboration between all commodity groups and trade organizations," said Pulse Canada Chair Nick Sekulic. "With transportation and performance of the supply chain, theres no better example of an issue where most everyone has the same objectives in mind.
"Quite simply, we need to work together to achieve a common vision of a supply chain with the capacity to deliver what we produce today and what we expect to produce tomorrow and we need it to perform consistently and reliably so that Canada is viewed worldwide as the preferred supplier - of all commodities. This initiative brings organizations representing wheat growers, canola growers, pulse growers and soy growers together with the trade to execute a plan aimed at improving the efficiency of our supply chain."
