Canola Council of Canada statement on work stoppage at Vancouver grain terminals

The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) is deeply concerned about the work stoppage at the Vancouver grain terminals. As a critical hub for Canadian canola exports, the Vancouver grain terminals are vital to the economic interests of the industry.

“Access to export markets is critically important for the Canadian canola industry,” says Chris Davison, CCC president & CEO. “A work stoppage at the Vancouver grain terminals will cause significant financial and reputational harm at a time when the whole industry, from farmers to processors to exporters are already facing significant market challenges and headwinds. We urge the federal government to take all necessary measures to ensure that Canadian canola can move through the Port of Vancouver to reach international markets.”

Given current circumstances, the federal government must act swiftly to resolve this work stoppage to avoid additional harm to the Canadian canola industry.

The Canola Council of Canada is a full value chain organization representing canola growers, processors, life science companies and exporters. For more information,
