The Crown corporation issued four to begin the year
Four grain handlers in Western Canada received Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) licenses to begin 2025.
On Jan. 1, the CGC provided Grain Millers Canada Corp. with a primary elevator license for its location in Delisle, Sask.
This type of license goes to “an operator of an elevator which primary receives grain directly from producers, for either both storage or forwarding,” the CGC says.
The organization underwent a license change in December 2024.
A company spokesperson confirmed to Farms.com it came as a result of a new flax processing facility in the community.
On Feb. 1, three companies received licenses.
Adroit Overseas Enterprises got its primary elevator license for a facility in St. Jean, Man.
The organization specializes in processing and supplying pulses, grains, food and feed ingredients in more than 30 countries.
The company has six elevators in Saskatchewan with a total capacity of 37,365 tonnes, the CGC’s website says.
Phytokana Ingredients Inc. in Calgary, Alta., also received a grain dealer license on Feb. 1.
This company is an independent “innovator, processor, developer and distributor of sustainable, plant-based protein isolate sourced from yellow peas,” its website says.
And the CGC provided Sunrise Foods International with grain dealer and primary elevator licenses for its location in Alexander, Man.
The elevator has a 5,655-tonne capacity.
Sunrise Foods International had its licenses revoked on Jan. 30, according to the CGC’s site.
