# EXCLUSIVE: Vietnamese feed makers buying Canadian canola meal after China duties, sources say

> Vietnamese feed millers are buying Canadian canola meal at bargain prices, with imports of around 30,000 metric tons a month over recent months, according to traders. The purchases follow China's imposition of anti-dumping duties that curbed Chinese imports of Canadian canola meal earlier this year.

## Why it matters

Redirected Canadian canola meal demand into Vietnam supports Canadian meal prices partly offset by lost Chinese demand, while the discounted prices make it a cheap protein option for feed buyers in Southeast Asia.
