Canola Council of Canada statement on China’s anti-dumping investigation on canola seed imports

Today, China’s Ministry of Commerce announced that it will initiate an anti-dumping investigation into canola seed imports from Canada. This investigation is part of China’s response to Canada’s decision to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, steel and aluminum

 “China is an important and valued market for Canadian canola,” says Chris Davison, Canola Council of Canada (CCC) president & CEO. “We are confident that an investigation into Canada’s canola trade with China will demonstrate alignment with and reinforce our support for rules-based trade.”

 The CCC is awaiting further details on the investigation and will work closely with the federal government on this situation.

 “Working to maintain open and predictable trade for canola is a top priority of the CCC,” says Davison. “We will continue to engage on this issue to support market access and competitiveness for Canadian canola in this key market.”
