US EditionChinese tariff on canola seed comes into force as farmers hope for resolution
The tariff follows a year-long anti-dumping probe and has caused Canadian canola prices to drop, affecting millions in crop value, officials said.
- Starting today, August 14, 2025, China is implementing an anti-dumping tariff of nearly 76 percent on imports of canola seed from Canada.
- China launched its anti-dumping investigation a year ago in response to Canada's 100 percent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, leading to escalating levies between the two countries.
- The tariff led to a sharp decline in Canadian canola prices, resulting in a loss of millions of dollars in value and impacting one of the most important crops grown in the western provinces this May.
- Canola growers and leaders from the Prairies urged the federal government to engage in productive dialogue with China to address the dispute, while stakeholders in the canola industry dismissed the dumping allegations, maintaining that exporters complied with established trade regulations.
- The tariff’s impact puts farmers’ livelihoods at risk and suggests a continued trade dispute that requires government intervention and potential compensation to support affected growers.
