Condominium(condo) storage refers to space that a producer may own or lease within a licensed primary elevator... Using condo storage enables producers to position their grain closer to the market and allows them to initiate a sale at any time from anywhere around the world. Producers are also able to avoid spring road bans and the difficulty of moving grain by truck in the winter from on farm storage bins to a primary elevator. In the case of Canadian Wheat Board grain, condo storage allows producers to deliver into the elevator system above quotas and prior to a contract call. 2, record 1, English, - condominium%20storage

La capacité de stockage garantie se rapporte à l'espace qu'un producteur peut acheter ou louer à l'intérieur d'un silo primaire agréé [...] Avoir recours au stockage garanti permet aux producteurs de rapprocher leur grain des débouchés et réaliser une vente en tout temps avec n'importe quel coin du monde. Les producteurs peuvent également éviter les interdictions s'appliquant aux routes au printemps et la difficulté d'acheminer le grain par camion des cellules de stockage à la ferme à un silo primaire en hiver. Dans le cas du grain de la Commission canadienne du blé, le stockage garanti permet aux producteurs de livrer du grain dans le réseau de silos au-delà des contingents et avant l'appel à un contrat. 2, record 1, French, - capacit%C3%A9%20de%20stockage%20garantie%20au%20producteur
