Canada’s Competition Bureau has reached an agreement with Parrish & Heimbecker, Limited (P&H) to address competition concerns tied to its proposed acquisition of GrainsConnect Canada Operations Inc., a deal first announced in December 2025.
The regulator determined the transaction could reduce competition for wheat purchases in the region surrounding Reford, Saskatchewan, an area where both companies operate grain elevators.
“Competition at the local level matters for Canadian farmers. Competition helps ensure that farmers receive better prices and have more choice when selling their grain,” said Jeanne Pratt, Interim Commissioner of Competition in a statement.
To resolve the issue, P&H has agreed to sell GrainsConnect’s grain elevator in Reford to a buyer approved by the Commissioner of Competition.
