"Johnston's is pleased to announce a new working relationship with John De Pape, most noted for the CWB Monitor and its analysis and commentary about the workings of the Canadian Wheat Board.
Mr. De Pape has been involved in the Canadian grain industry in various capacities for the past 29 years. John held various grain merchandising positions with Cargill Limited before becoming an independent floor trader at the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange (WCE) (now ICE Futures Canada). He later was appointed Director of Marketing at WCE where he was heavily involved in the development of new futures contracts and the redesign and improvement of existing contracts. He established a Canadian office for Sparks Companies Inc (name changed later to Informa Economics, Inc) in Winnipeg, where his consulting work focused on grain handling, transportation and risk management in Western Canada, as well as market structure issues in various foreign countries, predominantly Latin America.
He is currently active in export trade development of agricultural, food and forestry products and works with private equity firms focused on investments in the agri-food sector. John works closely with Castle Currency Management, providing foreign exchange management plans and strategies for a number of Canadian firms in various sectors.
John recently established The CWB Monitor, which provides independent analysis and commentary on the performance of the Canadian Wheat Board, from a farmer's perspective.
John will establish a Winnipeg office for Johnston's and will support all grain brokerage activities of Johnston's as well as bring an export focus to our offerings.
We are pleased to welcome John to the Johnston's team and look forward to the synergies that this relationship will bring. Contact information for John will follow very soon.
