# Canada should increase canola consumption | The Western Producer

> Canadian industry is considering domestic canola use as tariffs from China and the US threaten exports to two markets that took 87% of Canada's canola exports in 2024. China's 100% tariffs on Canadian oil and meal took effect March 20, and a Chinese anti-dumping probe on seed is ongoing. Domestic renewable diesel projects such as Imperial Oil's Strathcona facility are cited as a possible outlet.

## Why it matters

If canola is redirected to domestic biofuel and food use, export surplus could build and weigh on canola prices. Expanded domestic demand would partly offset lost trade volumes.
