Australia exported 6.13 million tonnes of canola in the year ending September 30, with Japan, Germany, and the UAE as major markets. The 2023-24 exports are comparable to the previous year's 6.02 million tonnes, highlighting the EU's importance as a key market. The 2024-25 harvest is progressing well, especially in Western Australia and parts of New South Wales and Victoria. Domestic demand remains strong as crushers aim to meet their needs amid rising global values and export demand. Global canola prices are bolstered by reduced EU crop yields, poor Canadian harvests, challenging planting conditions in South America, and geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.
