The Canola Council of Canada is taking seriously Donald Trump's threat of a 25% import tariff on Canadian goods. Canada ships significant canola oil and meal to the US, with the US taking 97% of canola oil exports and 59% of meal exports in the first eight months of 2024.
Oats also face heavy US dependence.
A 25% US tariff would reduce Canadian canola oil and meal demand and oat exports, pressuring Canadian prices. The threat remains unconfirmed, which keeps uncertainty high.
