CGC issues multiple licences in early November

Four licences came into effect on Nov. 1

The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) has been busy in the first week of November.

The CGC issued four licences on Nov. 1 with three going to companies in Saskatchewan.

Eskdale Seed Farm in Leross received a primary elevator licence.

This type of licence goes to “an operator of an elevator which primary receives grain directly from producers, for either both storage or forwarding,” the CGC says.

Another primary elevator went to Bunge Canada in Unity.

The other Saskatchewan grain handler to receive a licence on Nov. 1 is MGM Seed & Grain, a certified gluten free organic and conventional oat mill in Saskatoon.

MGM Seed received a process elevator licence, which  “may be issued to an operator of an elevator which receives and stores grain for direct manufacture or processing into other products.”

The fourth company to receive a CGC licence on Nov. 1 is from Ontario.

Field Farms Marketing in Petrolia received its grain dealer licence.

This type of licence is for “a person who, for reward, on his own behalf or the behalf of another person, deals in or handles western grain.”

On Nov. 5, the CGC issued another licence to an Ontario company.

Sure Good Foods in Mississauga received its grain dealer licence.

And as of Nov. 5, Bunge Canada’s location in Dixon, Sask., no longer has its primary licence.
