About us
Canada is one of the world's most reliable sources of high-quality grain, pulses and oilseeds. Its farmland, handling infrastructure and grading system give international buyers consistency they can plan around.
Maple Thread Grains was founded to connect that supply with growing international demand. Headquartered in Calgary, we work alongside Canada's established grain companies, banks and logistics providers to deliver Canadian commodities to qualified buyers abroad.
Connecting Canadian commodities with qualified importers, millers and processors.
Structuring every sale on documented, bank-supported payment terms that protect buyers and suppliers alike.
Building repeat business through clear contracts and reliable performance.
Our standardSuccessful grain trading takes more than matching a buyer and a seller. It takes market knowledge, careful structuring and consistent execution. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.
We source through Canada's established grain companies, elevators and exporters. This gives our customers access to consistent volumes, graded product and proven export infrastructure. We match each buyer's specifications to the right Canadian supply and negotiate competitive terms on their behalf.
We work directly with importers, flour millers, feed manufacturers, food processors and distributors. We take time to understand each customer's specifications, volumes and delivery windows before we commit to supply.
Cross-border grain trade involves buyers, suppliers, banks and service providers. We manage the commercial side of every transaction, including:
Each transaction is structured on clear, bank-supported terms and in full compliance with applicable Canadian and international requirements.
We coordinate execution with established Canadian rail carriers, terminals, inspection agencies and ocean freight providers, covering:
Commodities ship in bulk vessels as standard. Pulses can also ship in containers on request.
Canada's flagship milling wheat, valued for high protein and strong gluten. The benchmark for bread and premium flour.
A medium-protein milling wheat suited to a wide range of breads, noodles and flatbreads, offering strong value for millers who do not need CWRS protein levels.
We match grade, protein, moisture, falling number and test weight to each mill's requirements.
Canada is one of the world's largest exporters of lentils and peas. We supply food processors, pulse millers, ingredient manufacturers and distributors.
We supply Canadian canola and other oilseeds to crushers and processors, subject to market conditions.
Grades, specifications, volumes and delivery terms are confirmed in each contract.
South Asia is our primary focus and one of the fastest-growing destinations for Canadian wheat and pulses. We serve importers, flour millers, feed manufacturers and food processors whose requirements align with Canadian supply.
We pursue opportunities in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other markets where Canadian commodities compete on quality, reliability and delivered cost.
Canada is our home base. We build lasting relationships with Canadian grain companies, exporters, banks and logistics providers, and we serve Canadian customers where opportunities arise.
We enter each market based on customer demand, regulatory requirements, logistics and payment security.
