Canola Market Outlook: April 4, 2022
Weekly canola market outlook provided by Marlene Boersch of Mercantile Consulting Venture Inc.
Key Points for the Week:
Soybeans – USDA estimated soybean planted area for 2022 at a record 91.0 million acres, up 4% from last year.
We think that the USDA 91 million acre estimate for soybean acres is too high and makes little sense given the current low soybean-corn ratio.
Canola – Total canola disappearance during the first thirty-four weeks of the crop year amounted to 10 million MT compared to 14.9 million MT last YTD.
Rapeseed oil in Rotterdam remains above $2,200.00/MT.
We see no reason to sell additional canola at this time.
