Canola Digest reported that low in-season rainfall and heat cut Canadian canola yields in 2023. Statistics Canada put 2023 production at 17.4 million tonnes, down from 18.7 million in 2022 and below the five-year average of 18.6 million.
The article attributes the shortfall to dry conditions on the southwest Prairies.
A smaller Canadian canola crop reduces supply for crushers, which tightens meal and oil availability and supports meal prices. Tighter supply also supports the broader oilseed complex.
