China Rattles Crop Markets With Levies on Canadian Farm Exports

China Rattles Crop Markets With Levies on Canadian Farm Exports
SHARE

China’s recent decision to impose tariffs on Canadian rapeseed products has caused a significant drop in prices for the crop, adding to the uncertainty surrounding global food trade due to various ongoing trade wars. The move by China is in response to Canadian tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles, steel, and aluminum that were put in place last year, as both countries continue to deal with tariffs imposed by the US administration under President Donald Trump.

The tariffs imposed by China include a 100% duty on rapeseed oil and meal from Canada, where the crop is commonly known as canola. This has a major impact on Canadian canola farmers, as China is their largest export destination for the oilseed. The timing of these tariffs is particularly challenging as farmers are preparing to sow for the upcoming season, causing futures prices in New York to plummet.

Rick White, the president and CEO of the Canadian Canola Growers Association, expressed concern over the unprecedented trade uncertainty facing Canadian canola farmers from their two largest export markets. The Chinese tariffs are set to take effect on March 20, further complicating the situation for farmers.

While the tariffs on rapeseed oil and meal are significant, China did not impose tariffs on canola seed itself, which it imports in larger volumes than the oil and meal. However, the ongoing anti-dumping probe into Canadian rapeseed imports leaves the possibility of further measures open. Analysts suggest that China’s hesitancy to impose tariffs on Canadian canola seed indicates a reluctance to limit its oilseed sourcing options.

In response to the tariffs, the most-active canola contract saw a sharp decline in prices, while prices in China rose due to concerns over tight supply. Rapeseed meal on the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange surged, while rapeseed oil reached the highest levels since November. Soybean meal in Dalian also experienced gains before easing slightly.

The impact of China’s tariffs is not limited to Canada, as soybean oil futures in the US dropped on concerns that canola not shipped to China would compete for demand in North America. The global food trade landscape continues to be uncertain as countries navigate the complexities of trade wars and tariffs.

Overall, the imposition of tariffs on Canadian rapeseed products by China has significant implications for farmers, traders, and the global food market. The situation remains fluid as countries grapple with the fallout from ongoing trade disputes.
