Bulk Pea Export Pace Slowed in January
WINNIPEG - Mar 8/19 - SNS -- The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) reports 143,300 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 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 1,382,600 MT so far this marketing year, up 45% from the 1,036,800 loaded during the same period in the previous marketing year.
Movement during the month was down 28% from the 198,700 MT shipped the previous month and 22% below the 182,700 MT shipped the same month last year.
