Adroit Overseas Expands to Three More Saskatchewan Facilities

Oct 07, 2021

Adroit Overseas Canada is expanding in Saskatchewan yet again.

A little over a month since purchasing the Shaunavon elevator to augment their Neville facility, the Burnaby B.C. processing company has announced the purchase of three pulse and specialty crop processing facilities in the southwest.

Formerly owned by W.A. Grain and Pulse Solutions, the facilities in Vanguard, Pambrun and Ponteix, Saskatchewan became available after the Alberta-based W.A. Grain and Pulse fell into Receivership in April of this year.

Speaking at a grand opening event in Vanguard late in September, Operations Manager Manraj Sandhu extolled the support the group has received from the local farmers in the southwest are is excited to continue to grow the market.

"Our team is very energized and can't wait to start running these facilities. Exciting times lie ahead. I would again like to thank all the producers and all of the community for their continuous support and ensuring that we have all the help we need in the community."

CEO of Adroit Canada Yogesh Raipuria added that Saskatchewan has been a key area of the company's growth and it was the huge support from the local farming community that encouraged and motivated them to expand further into the province.

Adroit Canada was founded in 2010 to buy grain, oilseeds and pulses from farmers for both the domestic and international market. The company has also invested in a processing facility in Sharjah, UAE to both process and market Canadian grain in the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

Before the addition of the three new facilities, the company was handling roughly 270,000 Metric Tonnes annually in Canada.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
