Canola is an area of long-standing close relations between Canada and Japan, given the mutually dependent nature of our markets in this sector. Japan is Canada’s largest market for canola, while Canada is the main supplier of Japan’s imports of canola and rapeseed. Since 1976, the Canada-Japan Canola Consultations and Pre-consultations have been an important semi-annual event involving government and industry participants. This 30-year history has fostered mutually beneficial consultations, where issues of concern to the Canadian canola industry and the Japanese importing and crushing industry are discussed, and approaches for addressing these concerns are explored.
