# Canola farmers feel the pinch as tariffs threaten profits | CBC News

> Prairie canola farmers are harvesting a fairly strong crop but expect thin or no profits because China's 75.8% duty on canola seed and 100% tariffs on canola oil and meal have squeezed margins. China is Canada's largest canola seed importer, buying about $4 billion of seed in 2024.
