Ceres Global Ag, London Agricultural Commodities announce agreement

Date:11-16-2018

Ceres Global Ag Corp. ("Ceres" or the "Company") (TSX: CRP) recently announced that it has entered into a long-term agreement with London Agricultural Commodities, Inc., ("LAC") to provide LAC with storage and handling services from Ceres' Port Colborne, ON, export grain elevator.

The agreement, effective July 1, 2019, includes established storage fees, in/out handling fees and minimum volumes to be handled. Ceres will continue to operate the elevator and will provide a full range of services to LAC and its customers, including receiving product by truck and rail, drying, storing, and loading product into truck, rail or vessel.

"This agreement connects the Port Colborne elevator to LAC's vast origination network in Ontario and will allow Ceres to more effectively utilize its capacity and capabilities," said John Carroll, Vice President of Risk Management and Trading at Ceres. "This deal was made possible, in part, because of the great work from the Ceres team at Port Colborne and is a great example of how operational excellence can lead to commercial success."

Under this agreement, Ceres will continue to use a small portion of the elevator's storage capacity for its own oats and organic product programs. The majority of the elevator will be used for storing and handling corn, soybeans, wheat and other products for LAC.
