The expansion will include increasing Elva’s storage capacity from 14,500 metric tonnes to 24,500 as well as increasing rail car handling capacity from 56 cars to 112.
Sheldon Spearman, Cargill farm service group manager, said: “We have heard from our customers and to continue to meet their needs we knew we needed to expand in the southwest part of the province.
“This decision comes from Cargill’s commitment to helping growers prosper by improving access to services for farmers in southwestern Manitoba and southeastern Saskatchewan.”
Construction is set to begin by the end of August, with completion anticipated for harvest 2013.
