Western Producer columnist Cathy Holtslander argues that China's 100% tariff on Canadian canola applies only to canola oil and meal, not canola seed. She notes that the affected share is the portion of production crushed for export to China, while the US threatens a 25% tariff on all canola products.
Because the tariff hits crush products rather than seed, the direct effect on farm-gate canola seed prices may be smaller than headlines suggest. Buyers should still watch for the risk that China extends tariffs to seed.
