# Canola sector awaits Chinese anti-dumping investigation | The Western Producer

> USDA's May WASDE forecasts Canadian canola exports of 7.6 million tonnes for 2025-26, down from 8.75 million in the current campaign. USDA says it did not factor in China's anti-dumping investigation into Canadian canola seed, launched September 2024, because current policies still allow imports.

## Why it matters

If China restricts Canadian canola seed after the probe, a large export market could be lost, pressuring Canadian canola and related meal prices while supporting alternative origins.
