Due to strained trade relations with Canada, Chinese traders are seeking alternative sources of rapeseed. They are looking towards Australia and India as potential suppliers, as China has imposed high tariffs on Canadian rapeseed meal and is currently reviewing imports of the crop from Canada. Chinese buyers have initiated talks to procure Australian rapeseed, while imports of rapeseed meal from India are increasing, despite concerns about quality. Indian exporters are lobbying for relaxed Chinese quality requirements, which could boost exports to 500,000 tons annually. This situation reflects broader trade challenges for China, as it also faces strained relations with the United States, another key supplier of agricultural products. This situation is causing uncertainty for Canadian farmers, who have lost a critical market.
