G3 Canada has renewed its partnership with the Port of Quebec, announcing a new 30-year agreement on Tuesday.
“After more than 50 years, the close collaboration between G3 and the Port will continue for another 30 years, making Québec City a hub for agri-food exports in Eastern Canada,” G3 said in a release.
Winnipeg-based G3, which operates the grain elevator in Quebec City, said the Québec City terminal is ideally located because of its proximity to agricultural producers in eastern Québec and for receiving ships transiting the St. Lawrence Seaway. The Port of Québec also allows G3 to benefit from exceptional water depth, rail access and access to the seaway 12 months a year.
“This agreement is crucial for G3 and the agricultural producers we serve throughout the province,” said Don Chapman, President of G3 Canada. “Our partnership with the Port makes the difference in our ability to meet the demands of agricultural producers who want to market their grain at lower cost and as quickly as possible to world markets."
Grain from the Port of Quebec is shipped to Europe, Africa, the Middle East and South America.
