Last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang announced that stable canola trade between Canada and China will continue until 2020.
The agreement states that canola trade can occur according to the terms set in place in August 2016. Measures to reduce the risk of blackleg will be based on science.
"Last week's announcement provides the stable access to China needed by the canola industry," says Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada. "It's welcomed news for the whole canola value chain, just as our growers bring in this year's harvest. We're optimistic that we can now focus on science-based solutions."
Both Canada and China will work with the Canadian canola industry to manage the risk of blackleg according to international pest risk management standards.
