Grain Processing in Western Canada: Expansion and Opportunity for Farmers

Market Analysis Division : Publications: Bi-weekly Bulletin
Grain/Oilseed processing (with the exception of malting Barley) is expanding on the Prairies and flat or declining in the East. Check the % change in oilseed crush and oat processing on the chart. In the linked article take note of the mention of Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) and the role they are playing. Overall the stats and the spin in the article are positive for Western Canadian producers. One negative is Canada lagging behind the world in processing of Bio-fuels. That's a shame with our natural advantages in the market. It's still early in the game and hopefully we will not lose out on opportunities.
