On August 12, 2025, China announced a preliminary duty of 75.8%\u00a0on Canadian canola imports, effective August 14, 2025.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
CCBC has consistently maintained that tariffs and counter-tariffs harm businesses and consumers on both sides and ultimately undermine Canada\u2013China economic relations. China is the largest export market for Canadian canola seed, representing 67% of total canola seed exports, valued at approximately $4 billion in 2024. The Canadian canola industry supports 207,000 jobs\u00a0across the country. The preliminary duties announced will significantly harm Canada\u2019s canola industry, with our hard-working Canadian farmers\u2014particularly in Western Canada\u2014bearing the brunt of the impact.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
During the recent call between Prime Minister Carney\u00a0and Premier Li Qiang, the two leaders agreed to regularize high-level engagements and communications between the two governments, and to reconvene the Joint Economic and Trade Commission (JETC)\u00a0to address outstanding trade issues.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
We strongly urge both governments to engage in constructive and meaningful negotiations at the highest levels to resolve outstanding bilateral trade issues, remove the imposed tariffs and counter-tariffs, and establish mechanisms to prevent similar escalations in the future. A mutual stand-down should be pursued to restore stability and predictability in the trade relationship.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
CCBC remains committed to supporting Canadian businesses through these challenges and advocating for policies that foster stable, mutually beneficial Canada\u2013China trade relations.<\/div>\n
