Bulk Pea Exports Up in 2018-19

WINNIPEG - Sep 12/19 - SNS -- The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) reports 195,300 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.

This lifted bulk export loadings for field peas to 2,122,400 MT for the 2018-19 marketing year, up 3% from the 2,066,700 loaded during the previous marketing year.

Movement during the month was down 16% from the 231,700 MT shipped the previous month and 3% below the 201,800 MT shipped the same month last year.
