Abstract
Canada’s multi-billion-dollar canola industry faces headwinds from Chinese tariffs and uncertainty in Canada–US trade relations. We analyze the economic fallout of ongoing trade disputes and other current market and policy challenges facing Canadian canola, challenges which are also relevant for other export-reliant agricultural commodities facing trade retaliation.
