Our Facilities
Viterra’s position as Canada’s leading grain handler and agri-products retailer is supported by an extensive network of operations in all major growing regions of the Prairies and at all key ports.
This enables the company to provide a wider range of products and services to prairie farmers and destination customers than any of its competitors.
The company operates the country’s largest and most efficient grain pipeline, including over 85 prairie elevators. Eighty-five per cent of total elevator capacity is capable of loading 50 or 100 cars in 24 hours to quality for railway incentives. Viterra has 44 per cent of the industry’s 100 car loaders.
We outperform the industry in asset utilization due to superior technology, transportation efficiency and logistical expertise.
Viterra’s network of 247 retail locations allows us to offer farmers an unrivaled selection of products and services including our exclusive Proven® Seed brand, fertilizer, crop protection products, equipment and agronomic advice.
Viterra also operates 11 special crops plants in Western Canada and two US states handling a variety of specialized commodities such as field peas, lentils, chickpeas, dry beans, specialty oats, mustard and buckwheat.
Viterra is well-positioned to retain and attract new global customers through its wholly- owned export terminals in Vancouver and Thunder Bay and its position within the Prince Rupert terminal Consortium. In Vancouver – Canada’s primary grain port – our Cascadia and Pacific terminals account for 51 per cent of industry capacity and are capable of handling 8 million metric tonnes of grain annually.
