# Rapeseed meal stocks in oil mills in China are at a historic low

> Rapeseed meal prices in China slipped about 1% in early February to 2,570 yuan per tonne amid pre-holiday weakness. Oil mill inventories are at historically low levels, though supply is expected to rise with Canadian and Australian canola arrivals. Aquaculture demand is seasonally weak in the winter off-season.
