Canadian Pacific Rail has been a great partner on this project and has been a significant boost in the project’s expedition. Agrocorp is looking forward in their continued support with future business and further plans for expansion.
“We continue to accelerate our bulk vessel and containerized business in Canada, both in major grains and specialty crops,” said Colin Topham, managing director of Agrocorp Canada. “With the United Nations declaring 2016 the international year of pulses, Canadian growers are stepping up to meet the challenge of fast growing international demand by planting more acres. As Canada transitions to become the major supplier of protein for the world’s increasing population, we at Agrocorp are excited to be a part of this global story.”
Agrocorp has expansion projects planned for both the rail and storage capacity with the rail expansion slated to finish in the fall adding 80,000 tonnes of capacity to its supply chain.
