Transportation problems have caused Canada to lose export sales, according to this status report of Canada's grain handling and transportation system. The study examines the causes of this decline and evaluates the system's capacity to handle larger volumes of grains and oilseeds. Recent changes in infrastructure and coordination of grain movement have improved the system's performance. Further improvements in the Canadian grain handling and transportation system's ability to meet world demand could cut U.S. grain export sales. Capacity will probably be adequate to move 30 million tons of export grain in 1985/86. Added investment will be required to ship 36 million tons in 1990/91.
