02.05.2025
The introduction of tariffs by China and the US on Canadian canola oil and meal initially collapsed canola prices and raised concerns about a sharp decrease in canola acreage in the new season, but a significant increase in export and domestic demand for canola in Canada corrected the situation and supported prices. According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, in the 2024/25 MY (as of April 24), the country increased domestic canola consumption by 7.1% to 8.45 million tons...

Australia could have a good grain harvest in 2025/26
01.05.2025
According to the USDA FAS report, Australia could see good harvests of winter crops, including wheat and barley, in the 2025/26 MY. In New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia, weather conditions are conducive to the formation of wheat and barley crops, while in South Australia and western Victoria, dry weather is increasing soil moisture deficits, so it is desirable that rains pass in these regions by the end of June. FAS experts predict that wheat and barley...

Oil prices fell 19% in a month, increasing pressure on agricultural prices

In addition, Saudi...
