Protecting Canola Export

Markets Starts on the Farm

Over 70 percent of Canada's canola crop is exported around the world and its reputation as a safe and high quality product is well-deserved and well-known. From the farmer to the retail store, everyone in the supply chain has a role to play.

Export markets are becoming very strict about the products they accept. Requirements in some countries affect the canola varieties that Canada can export and the pesticides that can be used on canola. Testing in some countries is being increased for these de-registered varieties and pesticides.

If de-registered or unacceptable varieties or pesticides are detected, canola shipments could be turned away causing millions of dollars in losses and placing future business at risk.

Protect the future of the Canadian canola industry.
