Saskatchewan farmers are relieved to hear that China will reduce tariffs on Canadian canola seed by March 1, 2026, following the Prime Minister’s visit to Beijing and meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Today’s announcement is a positive development on a matter that SaskOilseeds and our partners across the canola value chain have been tirelessly advocating towards a resolution. SaskOilseeds applauds government efforts at all levels showing leadership on this file. We support free, open trade for canola.
This is a prime example of how levy dollars work for you, championing favorable policies at both the provincial and national levels to ensure market stability.
SaskOilseeds is a producer-led organization, established in 2024 and supported by 17,000 levy-paying Saskatchewan canola growers and 3,000 levy-paying Saskatchewan flax growers. SaskOilseeds’ mandate is to provide value to oilseed growers through research, advocacy, and market development.
