As planting season begins on the Prairies, canola farmers say a trade dispute with China has left them worried about the future.
“In the last 10 years, there’s been a lot of optimism,” Manitoba canola farmer Colin Crockatttold CTV News. “There definitely isn’t in these last few months.”
“China has been a 4.7-million-ton seed customer of ours and now that they’ve stopped buying Canadian canola,” Rick White, CEO of the Canadian Canola Growers Association, told CTV News. “The question now is, where do we ship that canola?” “China has every right to take action related to plant health for products entering their country, but they also have an obligation to explain the scientific basis for their actions,” said Jim Everson, president of the CCC, in a press release.
