Canadian family-owned agribusiness Parrish & Heimbecker (P&H) has partnered with Picton Terminals by Doornekamp to build a new bulk agricultural marine terminal in Prince Edward County, Ontario.
The new facility would increase delivery options available to corn, soyabean and wheat producers in eastern Ontario, the companies said on 15 August.
In addition to significantly reducing travel time for local farmers, easing traffic on Highway 401 and improving the overall efficiency of the agricultural supply chain, the new facility would expand P&H’s export capacity, the companies said.
The construction of storage silos and related buildings was due to start later this year with the terminal expected to be operational by 2026.
“The addition of Picton Terminals to our supply chain strategy will make it more economical for local farmers to bring their crops to global markets,” P&H CEO John Heimbecker said.
Established in 1909, P&H’s operations include grain handling and merchandising, flour milling, crop inputs and feed mills.
P&H has 40 grain storage facilities with 23.4M bushels of licensed storage, according to Sosland Publishing Co’s 2024 Grain & Milling Annual.
Picton Terminals by Doornekamp provides logistics solutions and port services in the St Lawrence Seaway & Great Lakes region.
