# China's ban on Canadian canola expands to Viterra - AgCanada

> China's General Administration of Customs expanded its ban on Canadian canola seed imports to include shipments from Viterra, effective immediately. Chinese customs said the ports of Dalian and Nanning detected pests in Viterra's canola. This follows the earlier suspension of Richardson International and comes amid a wider Canada-China dispute linked to the arrest of a Huawei executive in Vancouver.
