Since its creation, STAT Communications Ltd. has dedicated itself to understanding specialty crop markets and following those for major grains and oilseeds. It is now the No 1 source of market information on these commodities for processors, importers and exporters in over 25 countries.
Founded in Canada in 1988, STAT started as a mail and fax service, but in the early 1990s we started making the transition to the internet and opened the STAT website in May of 1995 -- making us one of, if not the first agricultural commodity newsletter to become available on the internet. Over several years we have worked to better understand markets for traditional agricultural commodities and in 2002 created AgReport to meet the needs of farmers, growers and traders of grains, oilseeds, livestock and other products.
