After some very heavy losses in 2008 Parkland Pulse’s start in 2009 is fairly positive. In the second half of 2008 there were three major price drops which caused a lot of trouble for Parkland Pulse in China. The first drop was the deflation of the Canadian Dollar in August 2008. That was then compounded by a larger crop and pressure on lower prices from line companies.  Finally, just when prices seemed to have bottomed out in October the economic crisis became official and prices continued to fall. In about a four month time peroid the price of peas to China went from 550usd/mt to 280usd/mt. Parkland Pulse suffered heavy losses from buyers defaulting and renegotiating contracts. Having survived such difficult times 2009 looks much more positive. Sales volumes are back to normal. Old customers are buying again and new customers are turning up in new markets. Most importantly the price has been fairly stable and contracts are being executed.
