Canola Council President Wants To See Disease Levels Lowered

 
Canola exports to China are going to remain unchanged in terms of maximum dockage.
 
A deal was reached Thursday in Ottawa that will keep the limit at 2.5 per cent.
 
China was threatening to lower the dockage level to one per cent, noting that high dockage may increase the risk of spreading disease such as blackleg.
 
Both countries have agreed to research the issue until the year 2020.
 
Patti Miller, president of the Canola Council of Canada, hopes the issue will be resolved well before that time.
