# Canada Moves Forward with WTO Dispute Against Chinese Restrictions on Canola Seeds

> Canada moved forward with a WTO dispute over China's restrictions on Canadian canola seed imports, which began in 2019 after Richardson and Viterra licenses were suspended. The WTO panel was established on July 26, 2021, after China blocked an earlier request. Canadian canola seed exports to China fell sharply in 2019.

## Why it matters

A panel moves the dispute toward a formal ruling but will take a long time to resolve, so near-term canola seed flows are unlikely to change much. Continued uncertainty keeps Canadian canola meal supply to Asian feed buyers under some pressure.
