Bulk Pea Exports Start 2020-21 Firmly
WINNIPEG - Oct 1/20 - SNS -- The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) reports 102,400 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 August.
The CGC data does not include exports from non-reporting locations. 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.
Movement during the month was up 68% from the 60,900 MT shipped the previous month and up 6% from the 97,000 MT shipped the same month last year.
Of bulk peas loaded to for export during the month, 99,100 MT went through Vancouver terminals; and 3,200 MT were shipped direct from Prairie elevators to other North American destinations.
