Reuters reports on edible oil supply constraints, citing a July heatwave that scorched Canadian Prairie crops. The USDA cut its Canadian canola output estimate by 4.2 million tonnes to 16 million tonnes, the lowest since 2012-13, with rats and labour shortages also limiting recovery.
A lower USDA canola estimate tightens global vegetable oil and meal supply, supporting canola meal and soybean oil prices and feed costs.
