In November 2023, Australia exported 544 thousand tons of canola, a 43% increase from the previous month, with the main volumes going to Germany, the UAE, and France. However, this was lower than the 761.7 thousand tons exported in November 2022, and the total export for the first quarter of MY 2023/24 is expected to be 20% less than the previous year due to a reduction in the oilseed harvest. Lachstock Consulting estimates that the current canola harvest in Australia is significantly lower than the previous year's record, and the sown area for the 2024/25 MY harvest is expected to be lower due to low oilseed prices.
