Canola Trade with China

Current Situation:

September 9, 2024 - China’s Ministry of Commerce formally announced it’s Notice of Initiation of an anti-dumping investigation into imports of Canadian canola seed. This is the first step of the investigation which, the notice indicates, will cover a dumping investigation period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, and an industry injury investigation period from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2023.

This investigation is part of China’s response to Canada’s decision to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, steel and aluminum.

China is a very important market for Canadian canola. Statistics Canada reported that $4.6 million tonnes of Canadian canola seed was exported to China last year (2023).

We are confident in the quality of Canadian canola. We await further details on the investigation and will work closely with the federal government on this situation to support rules-based international trade.
