Ceres Global Ag Provides Corporate Update

TORONTO, Sept. 26, 2016 /CNW/ - Ceres Global Ag Corp. ("Ceres" or the "Company") (TSX: CRP) today announced that it expects to handle between 100 and 110 million bushels of total grains during the FY2017 fiscal year, approximately double the 55.8 million bushels of total grains that company handled in FY2016.

The expected growth is largely due to the successful buildout of its grain handling and shipping facility at Company's Northgate Commodities Logistics Hub located in Saskatchewan and the increased utilization of other elevators in the Ceres network.  The expected 100% increase is also due to the record crops produced during the recently completed harvest season.

Ceres recently changed its reporting period to the 12 months running from July 1 to June 30 effective with FY2017. In FY2016, Ceres had a 15-month period.
