China’s probe into canola imports is likely a prelude to anti-dumping action by Beijing
In retaliation for Canada slapping a 100-per-cent surtax on Chinese-made electric vehicles, Beijing this week alleged Canadian producers are dumping canola – or selling at cut-rate prices – in China’s market.For Saskatchewan canola farmer Dean Roberts, the news that China has accused Canada of unfair trade in the valuable oilseed has come at a terrible time.
He farms a number of different crops 30 kilometres from the town of Kindersley in west-central Saskatchewan. By early September, the brilliant yellow flowers topping canola plants have disappeared. In their place are pods containing tiny black seeds, waiting to be harvested.on Chinese-made electric vehicles, Beijing this week alleged Canadian producers are dumping canola – or selling at cut-rate prices – in China’s market.
China makes up more than half of Canada’s export market for canola seed and is the second-biggest foreign customer for Canadian canola products after the U.S. “This starts to impact decisions for next year,” he said. “So right now, I’m starting to make decisions to plant the 2025 crop. And when there’s uncertainty in the market like this, I may not make a good decision, because this, this could change direction before I get my next crop to harvest.”
Mr. Penner said a recent example of China’s anti-dumping action against another country is the 80.5-per-cent tariff it slapped on Australian barley about four years ago. Beijing announced the tariffs in 2020 as ties frayed over Australia’s then-prime minister Scott Morrison calling for an independent international investigation into the origins and handling of COVID-19, which was first detected in China.
