Canola markets looking to steady after March dip

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.

Neil Townsend, Senior Market Analyst at FarmLink Marketing Solutions, details some of the good points before a reverse began.

"We've had a pretty good year, in terms of canola. We had high prices for the bulk of the year, a good opportunity. I think for a lot of Canadian farmers it kinda seems like out of nowhere the market starts to reverse. 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.

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
