Grain Monitoring Program

Transportation is a vital component in the success of the agriculture sector and the Grain Monitoring Program is the link that connects the industries grain handling and transport participants by providing an unbiased and expert account of the systems performance.

A Grain Monitoring Program of the Canadian grain handling and transportation system (GHTS) was initiated to assess the impact of transportation reform legislation set in 2000. The Grain Monitoring Program, a Government of Canada initiative, generates a comprehensive set of reports that monitor the commercial relationships between the primary participants in the GHTS: Producers; the Canadian Wheat Board; grain companies; railway companies; and port terminal operations.

Monitoring the Canadian Grain Handling and Transportation System Annual Report is produced by an organization not subject to the Common Look and Feel Standards and is provided in PDF format only as a service to visitors to the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Web site.

Please contact Denis Tully at (204) 983-0569 if more information about the report is required.
