Chinese importers have stopped buying Canadian canola seed: Industry group

Last Updated Friday, March 22, 2019 6:22PM EDT

"Chinese buyers became uninterested in buying Canadian canola," said Brian Innes, vice-president of public affairs for the Canola Council of Canada. "What we understand is that the concern or the reluctance of Chinese buyers to purchase Canadian canola is not coming from their concern about the quality of our product," he said, adding they've had no quality questions from other markets.At the time of the Richardson announcement, some suggested the move could be retaliation for Canada's arrest of a top Chinese tech executive. In December, Canadian authorities arrested Huawei Technologies Co. Inc.

The most immediate problem though, Innes said, is a drop in price for the commodity, especially for farmers who still have unsold canola from last year's crop.David Reid, 42, is a partner at the family farm he grew up on in Cremona, Alta. -- about 90 kilometres northwest of Calgary. Canola accounts for about 30 per cent of what the farm produces.

Still, he believes the fundamentals of the canola trading relationship between the two countries are very strong.

Sanction them

And it's too bad we have to buy their cheap crap, but these days not much choice

And farmers are not able to compete with the world cause we are stuck with Xplornet and pay $1.00per gigabyte of data.

China is devious self serving pig headed selfish...........
