The Canola Council of Canada hosted five Chinese animal nutrition and aquaculture experts in July to promote Canadian canola meal. China is the second-largest importer of canola products after the US, and in 2017 it took 4.5 million tonnes of seed and one million tonnes of meal.
Much of the meal entering Guangdong is used in aquaculture feed.
Promotion aimed at Chinese feed influencers supports long-term demand for canola meal in aquaculture and livestock feed. The near-term price impact is small.
