# China increases Indian rapeseed meal purchases after Canadian canola import duty

> China bought 52,000 tonnes of Indian rapeseed meal over three weeks at $220 to $235 per tonne, about four times its total 2024 purchases from India, after imposing the 100% tariff on Canadian canola products. Chinese buyers are replacing Canadian rapeseed meal, which totaled 2.02 million tonnes in 2024.

## Why it matters

Redirecting Chinese demand from Canadian to Indian rapeseed meal supports Indian meal prices and eases domestic Indian rapeseed stock pressure, while Canadian meal faces weaker Chinese demand.
