Flour Mills Of Canada Exceed Domestic Demand Capacity
Canada operates 1,265 flour mills with a daily capacity of 112 048 barrels. The Canadian Pacific Railway Agricultural bulletin notes capacity far surpasses domestic needs for a population of about 10.5 million requiring 41 750 000 bushels. Provinces and cities across the country show widely varying capacities with Montreal and Toronto among the largest centers. The bulletin also highlights the challenge of locating and sustaining markets for flour amid these ample supplies.
