It all makes perfect sense, expressed in dollars and cents, pounds, shillings and pence. Can't you see, it all makes perfect sense.
So let's see, Canada sends wheat to China almost for free. Our state run monopoly over-charges us but skims off enough money to build a branch office in China, and I doubt the government of the day approves.
Now US and Canadian feed companies are buying contaminated material from China, instead of simply buying it from Canada to start with. The Chinese government refused to believe that this contamination was possible but now has to eat that very same SARS crow that they did before.
Huuray for the Wheat Marketing Board, comrade!

The CWB and China Cereals, Oilseeds & Foodstuffs Corporation (COFCO) recently announced plans to fund a training and technical centre that will support China’s milling and food-processing industry.The new centre will be located in Beijing and is scheduled to be complete by 2007.
“Due to strong economic growth andincreased demands for premium-quality,wheat-based foods, China is poisedto become an even more important market for western Canadian wheat,”said Adrian Measner, CWB presidentand CEO, who announced the new centre while visiting Beijing in December 2005.“
This technical centre will provide Chinese wheat processors with the information they need to make the most of our high-quality product.”COFCO is China’s wheat-purchasingagency. COFCO president Liu Fuchunsaid the CWB China Technical Centre isa natural extension of a long relationshipbetween COFCO and the CWB.
The CWB has enjoyed a long-term relationship with COFCO that has spanned more than four decades. For the past two crop years, China has been the largest importer of western Canadian wheat.
The CWB will provide $1 million to establish the centre; operating costs will be shared by the CWB and COFCO.

Working unrelated things into your rants again.

Ok so you mean to tell me what when we gave the chinese the contract for this pet food we did not know that they were using this shit as a protien....my ass they didnt know. And if they didnt, then that is a good reason to get out pet food from Canada
ridenrain @ Tue May 01, 2007 6:09 am
There not unrelated. Canada is a major exporter of grains so why would we buy from the Chinese? Only when it was un-naturally cheap and unfit for human consumption.
I'd say it's faulty business practivce to help you're customers make their own products, while you buy substandard, contaminated product from them.
Maybe you can explain how the Canadian Wheat Board's setting up a million dollar training program in China benefits western farmers? Wasn't that the whole purpose of the Canadian Wheat Board?
Oreo. There's no doubt in my mind they new or suspected but they thought they could get away with it. Making the ingredients cheaper while keeping the price the same would just make the profits larger.
I'd like to see the pet food industry bosses burried under piles of the pets they killed with their greed.

We don't agree on much....but i stand behind that post 100%. Industry is fucking this planet up on an ever increasing scale...all for the sake of another dollar to the bottom line.

The CWB sells wheat and China has been a big Buyer for many years. The CWB doesn't force anyone to buy Wheat Byproducts from China or anywhere else. If Corps wanted to Buy these Byproducts from Canadian Suppliers they could, but they choose to buy from China. What the CWB is doing in China is merely to get them to at least make a safe product from the Wheat they Sell so that Canadian or others can buy in confidence.
It benefits Western Farmers by continuing to provide a secure Market for their Wheat.

I hope there is a long term ban on canned foods from China. What they were doing is wrong on so many levels.
Clogeroo @ Tue May 01, 2007 10:30 am
This is why I don't buy anything from China.
DrCaleb @ Tue May 01, 2007 11:41 am
So, the scuttlebut is that all this contaminated food was fed to . . .pigs. So the USDA has deemed these pigs unfit for human consumption. Where do you think these pigs are going to end up now?
Pet food.
This just in: Canadian Pet owners admit 'lacing' Chinese workers. Hockey stick, right to the back of the head.

What Ridenrain is saying is that the CWB increses the value of wheat as an export commodity making it more difficult for feed mills, at least in theory. Of corse wheat could be sold direct to mills without CWB involvement. more then anything the point was that grain and grain protein has been internationaly traded for the past century.
