Bryan Allison

David was instrumental in Viterra Canola Processing managing a very tight non-GMO canola oil supply during a period of escalating demand. His methodical approach to rationing and his candor was appreciated by customers as it ensured that they did not build downstream demand that would go unfulfilled. David has vast international experience in commodity trading and hedging and was a pleasure to work with. Bryan Allison, former GM of Viterra Canola Processing.
