We were privileged to host Hon. Warren Kaeding, Saskatchewan Minister of Trade and Export Development, and Ms Jodi Banks, Deputy Minister of Trade and Export Development, during their visit to Singapore last week. is an important partner to us; the pulse crops grown in Saskatchewan are peas, lentils, chickpeas, faba beans, etc. Canada is also the world's leading lentil, pea, and chickpea exporter. Saskatchewan growers produce 90% of the Canadian lentil crop, 50% of Canadian peas, and 95% of Canadian chickpeas. That is why we have three of our ten agri-processing facilities in Saskatchewan. By being close to the farmers, we are able to get agri-supplies promptly post harvest, and also do the important work in providing agri-staples efficiently from countries that grow them, to communities around the world that need them.

We were glad to host the Masters student delegation from The University of Hong Kong at our office during APAC as part of the Future Leaders Initiative and their plan to visit leading commodity trading companies in Singapore.

As a culturally diverse organization, we take pride in celebrating traditions from around the world and fostering a workplace where every culture is valued and respected.

We celebrated the last day of Chinese New Year with the Lion Dance, an age-old custom believed to bring good luck, ward off negative energy, and welcome prosperity for the year ahead. The rhythmic drumming, energetic movements, and dazzling colors not only entertained but also reminded us of the deep cultural significance behind the tradition.

As we step into the new year, we look forward to embracing new opportunities, strengthening connections, and continuing to cultivate a workplace that celebrates diversity in all its forms.

Wishing everyone a year filled with wisdom, resilience, and success— just like the Snake symbolises! 🐍✨
