Viterra and Canadian Wheat Board enter partnership

Viterra and the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) have entered a grain-handling agreement to serve farmers and end-use customers in the new western Canadian grain-marketing environment beginning 1 August.

CWB president and CEO Ian White. "We are very pleased to forge a new alliance with Viterra that will greatly assist the CWB in marketing farmers' grain through our pool programmes.

"Access to Viterra facilities means farmers now have a wide range of locations to deliver the grain they contract with CWB."

Under the commercial agreement, Viterra will accept deliveries of grain that farmers commit to CWB contracts at all Viterra locations across Western Canada.

The agreement also includes port handling services.
