Spring seeding conditions likely to sway markets

Canola values are recovering up off a hard drop

By Phil Franz-Warkentin May 12, 2022

The ICE Futures canola market dropped hard to start the month of May, seeing heavy bouts of long liquidation as profit-taking finally came forward to weigh on values.

Overland flooding has impacted major transportation routes, delaying shipment of ag commodities and inputs. Soils have been left saturated across much of agro-Manitoba, with regularly

Comment: Canada’s light canola acres deal another blow for tight vegoil market

It’s the latest supply constraint to face the global edible oil complex

By Karen Braun May 6, 2022

Thinning vegetable oil supplies have driven global prices to record levels this year, so Canadian farmers’ intentions to cut canola plantings this spring are not among helpful remedies. Canada was a top contributor to the supply squeeze last year as severe drought cut canola output to a 14-year low. Canada is the top exporter of

By Allan Dawson, GFM Network News May 5, 2022

Canola has another feather in its cap — one which is expected to put more money in farmers’ pockets. In a ‘proposed decision’ released in April the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognized canola oil’s value as an environment-friendly alternative to fossil-based fuel — a move that’s expected to add new demand for the crop.
