 Halcan Commodities is located in Atlantic Canada, a land of plentiful resources and wonderful scenery while sitting on the shores of the cold clear waters of the atlantic ocean.
We specialize in shipping bulk quantities in two commodity areas.
(1) agricultural crops and (2) seafood products.
AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES :
a.) pulse crops - lentils/peas/chickpeas/beans
Canada is a large producer and exporter of agricultural
commodities and products, with a comparative advantage over other pulse producing nations. Canadas cool climate provides pulse crops with natural protection against insects and disease. In addition, there is a well established infrastructure to store and move grain and pulses from the producing regions to the port terminals. Canada is now the worlds largest exporter of lentils, peas and chickpeas and the fifth largest bean exporting nation.
In the absence of international standards, Canada has
taken the lead in the development of terminology,
protocols and standard evaluation methods for the
worldwide pulse industry. Within Canada, the Canadian Grain Commission sets quality standards for pulse crops. Its programs result in shipments that consistently meet contract specifications for quality, safety and quantity.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency supports the Canadian grain sector through its quarantine, pest and phytosanitary certification programs.
b.) grains & oilseeds - soybean, flaxseed, safflower and sunflower seeds etc.
Canada produces a wide variety of grains and oilseeds, which are used in breads, pasta and breakfast cereals, cooking oils and other food products. In addition, innovative Canadian technology has created new products and markets for many grain and oilseed by-products.
Grains include wheat, corn, oats, barley and rye, while oilseeds include canola, soybean, flaxseed, safflower and sunflower seeds. Coarse grains, such as barley and corn, are used both for human consumption and as livestock and poultry feed. Oilseeds are used in the production of cooking oils and other food products, such as margarine.
The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) maintains a quality control program that includes varietal control, licensing of elevators, product inspection and weighing, and sanitation and quality monitoring programs. The Commission is the major centre for applied and basic research on the quality of a variety of grains. Its Grain Research Laboratory also conducts studies using its pilot-scale malting plant, flour mill and bakery, noodle processor and small-scale pasta press
Canada's food and beverage industry is recognized internationally as being among the best in the world, both in terms of ensuring food safety and quality, and in providing a trade friendly environment.
