Canola is looking at what could be yet another good year, following a few external factors.

This included the same issue that had affected most of Canadian agriculture, the war in Ukraine.

That was a combination of great weakness in the EU market prompted partly by an inflow of imports from Ukraine."

As well, another competitor had a great record year which impacted the canola market.
