Abstract

The article focuses on China's efforts to reopen rapeseed trade with Australia after a five-year hiatus, driven by the need to secure supplies of this essential animal feed ingredient amid deteriorating relations with Canada. Chinese agriculture trader Cofco has begun discussions with Australian exporters regarding prices and terms for the upcoming rapeseed crop, known locally as canola. This shift follows China's imposition of a 75.8% temporary duty on Canadian shipments due to an anti-dumping investigation. Although an official agreement on phytosanitary issues has not yet been reached, China has tentatively agreed to trial cargoes from Australia, with ongoing discussions between the two governments.
