Western Grain Quotes
 
LAC has spent almost 15 years establishing strong relationships in Western Grain markets. Our purchasing capabilities and logistics expertise allow us to originate vessel and rail volumes to service our markets. We also store quantities throughout the year at Goderich, Port Colborne & Prescott to ensure constant availability to our customers.

In 2004 LAC began expanding our geographical reach westward. Our western office puts us that much closer to the origination of western feed grains and by-products used by our Eastern Canadian customers and it enables LAC to trade more easily in the western region.
 
The consumption of western grain in Eastern Canada varies from year to year based on relative supply and demand conditions in both the eastern and western growing regions. At LAC our goal is to recognize these shifting trends and lead the market with the most competitive bids and offers. Our presence in Western Canada enables LAC to monitor grain values more closely and work with producers, transportation providers and consumers to optimize grain trade.

LAC has introduced western growers and consumers to the quality services we offer, by drawing on the strengths of our trading expertise in Eastern Canada. We are expanding our trade in traditional commodities such as domestic feed wheat, oats, rye and barley as well as becoming a force in the canola, feed pea and edible pea and bean markets.
 
"With all of the consolidation and contraction of the grain business in Western Canada we felt the time was right for us to get into that market", says Ian Carter, President of LAC. "During non drought years the tonnage of grain moving from Western Canada to Eastern consumers is significant. Opening offices in the heart of Canada's western production area will help LAC better serve our customers in the East as well as provide a mechanism to penetrate a new market with new trading opportunities," according to Carter.
