Producer cars stats now available weekly

Today, the Canadian Grain Commission launched a weekly statistical report on the allocation of producer cars. The publication of these statistics enhances the transparency of commercial grain handlings and supports the marketing of Canadian grain. The report is available on both the Canadian Grain Commission’s web site and the Government of Canada’s Open Data site and will be updated weekly.

Each week’s publication reflects the cumulative number of producer cars allocated from the start of the crop year to the end of the shipping week. Reports within the publication break down the allocation numbers by the type of grain shipped, province of origin, and the grain’s destination.

By making data such as this available publicly, the Canadian Grain Commission is supporting the Government of Canada’s commitment to making data open and available to all Canadians.
