About Grain Merchandising
Transportation & Merchandising
We deliver
As one of Canada’s leading handlers of grains and oilseeds, Richardson International developed an extensive network of port terminals to move product into the global marketplace.
Our terminals in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Thunder Bay and Hamilton, Ontario and Sorel-Tracy, Quebec each provide key transport links to customers, underscoring a strength in grain merchandising and helping to foster profitable, long-term relationships between Canadian growers and the world’s millers, maltsters, feed manufacturers and oilseed processors.
One of the most successful grain-handling facilities in the world, Richardson International Vancouver is a major exporter of western-grown canola and cereal grains to countries along the Pacific Rim. Richardson International Thunder Bay is the furthest inland port terminal connecting Western Canada to the Atlantic Ocean and remains a major hub for rail shipping. The terminals in Hamilton and Sorel-Tracy are favoured links for Ontario- and Quebec-grown wheat, corn, soybeans, feed peas and oats, providing excellent access to Atlantic and U.S. markets.
Strategically located from the Pacific to the St. Lawrence, Richardson International’s port terminals are complemented by superior logistical capabilities and the expertise of our grain merchandising team, who are knowledgeable in:
- Ocean freight
- Foreign exchange
- Risk management
- World crop conditions
- International business practices
