CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA — Canadian Pacific (CP) set a new January record by moving 2.22 million tonnes of grain and grain products. This exceeds the previous January record in 2020 by 6%.

“CP, our customers and other supply chain participants have once again collaborated to move record amounts of grain through the month,” said Joan Hardy, vice president of sales and marketing, grain and fertilizers of CP. “Despite a rainy start in Vancouver, the efficiency and effectiveness of the CP service model and the resiliency of the supply chain allowed for recovery through the month and supported this strong result.”

The Canadian rail company has shipped 16 million tonnes of Canadian grain and grain products in the 2020-21 crop year, exceeding the amount shipped at this time in the 2019-20 crop year by more than 13%.
