China blocks Canadian canola oil shipments

Registration for a canola oil shipment from Canadian Agribusiness Richardson International Ltd’s to China was recently revoked, reported Reuters.

A form from the Chinese customs administration website, dated March 1, showed a revoked  registration for a shipment from Richardson International, the world’s largest canola distributor. The company said they have yet to be given a reason for the decision.

Canada is a major exporter of canola, fruit and grains to China, a keystone in Canada’s economy.
