Seasonal Slowing in Bulk Pea Clearances
WINNIPEG - Dec 22/19 - SNS -- The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) reports 185,000 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 November.
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 1,040,000 MT so far this marketing year, up 50% from the 692,200 loaded during the same period in the previous marketing year.
Movement during the month was down 26% from the 249,700 MT shipped the previous month but 85% above the 99,900 MT shipped the same month last year.
