Canola Digest's market outlook says global vegetable oil and meal demand keeps rising and forecasts a 3% increase in Western Canadian canola acres to a record 23.75 million acres. Prices in 2017-18 have been relatively stable, and soybean production trends in South America are highlighted as the main oilseed driver.
A record Canadian acreage increase points to larger future canola supply, which is bearish for canola prices, while rising global demand supports the market.
