Glacier Farm Media | MarketsFarm – Intercontinental Exchange canola futures remained lower late Monday morning, as China’s recent tariffs on Canadian canola seed continued to weigh on values.
However, an analyst said that Canada will likely reduce its canola exports for 2025/26 anyway, following its excellent 2024/25 program. Also, the analyst noted that while canola is down about C$30 to C$40 per tonne, the situation shouldn’t be a disaster in the long run.
He said the Prairies are to turn drier for the balance of August, but a large chunk of the region is expected to see thunderstorms today.
