This sure can't hurt. Japan and China are Canada's two biggest export markets for canola seed and the commodity goes through the Port of Vancouver. Richardson International is planning to invest $120 million to increase storage capacity at the west coast port to meet growing global demand.
The Richardson terminal is currently operating at maximum capacity, handling approximately three million tonnes of grains and oilseeds per year. The company wants to boost the total to more than five million metric tonnes.
As demand rises anywhere in BC supplies will have to come from somewhere. Let's hope some of those demands come to HBK.
