Winnipeg - Today, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) formally announced its Notice of Initiation of an anti-dumping investigation into imports of Canadian canola seed. This is the first step of the investigation which, the notice indicates, will cover a dumping investigation period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, and an industry injury investigation period from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2023.
MOFCOM has indicated that the investigation is self-initiated by the Ministry and is not at the request of domestic industry. Additionally, MOFCOM has identified a number of exporters which are in-scope for the investigation.
"We are engaged and in close communication with government officials regarding the implications of the investigation and Canada's participation and response to it, including the need for a coordinated approach and support for the Canadian canola industry," says Chris Davison, Canola Council of Canada (CCC) president and CEO, noting that this is the first step of the investigation and ongoing assessment will be required to determine the various impacts on Canadian canola.
The CCC reiterates the view that Canada's canola trade with China is aligned with and supports rules-based trade, fair market access and competitiveness of Canadian canola in this important market.
