Statistics Canada reported December canola crush of 826,445 mt, down for a second month and 17.3% above December 2021. Cumulative August-December crush was 4.016 million mt, 5.6% above last year.
Board crush margin averaged $213.85/mt, well below the prior month.
Slower crush reduces canola meal output, supportive for meal prices, while a narrower board crush margin reduces the incentive to crush and may lower future meal supply.
