Chinese buyers continue to turn their backs on Canadian soybeans, reports the Manitoba Co-operator.
The latest data from Statistics Canada confirms industry fears, says Soy Canada executive director Ron Davidson.
“The numbers are clearly substantiating what the exporters are telling us, which is essentially the Chinese importers aren’t interested in purchasing Canadian soybeans right now,” Davidson told the Co-operator.
Since March Chinese buyers haven’t bought any Canadian canola seed, after complaining shipments were contaminated with weeds and plant diseases.
