Winnipeg Commodity Exchange Inc. Delists Field Pea Futures Contract

The Board of Directors of Winnipeg Commodity Exchange Inc. (WCE) announced today that the field pea futures contract is being delisted, effective immediately. WCE first introduced pea futures to the marketplace in November of 1995, since then the contract has undergone several contract changes in order to attract further interest.

The decision of the WCE Board of Directors to delist the contract was based on the limited trading activity of the contract and an extensive review of the issue with the cash pea trade.

Winnipeg Commodity Exchange Inc., established in 1887, is Canada's only agricultural futures and options exchange. WCE offers futures contracts on canola, canola meal, flaxseed, domestic feed wheat, and western barley. Options contracts are available on canola, flaxseed, domestic feed wheat, and western barley.
