Regina-based Viterra Inc. has had its canola licence revoked by China, the second Canadian company hit after Richardson International. Chinese customs said pests were detected at the Dalian and Nanning ports, and the ban took effect immediately.

Losing two major canola handlers sharply reduces China's access to Canadian seed, which pressures Canadian canola prices and forces farmers to find alternative buyers.
