Predictive value of import of rape seeds settled at around 3.8 million tons, according to Reuters.

The decrease in purchases of oilseeds due to the protracted negotiations between China and Canada in the maximum allowable content of impurities in the canadian canola, which slowed the import of oilseeds to China.

It is worth noting that, according to experts, China is stepping up purchases of the oilseed in January 2017 due to the high margin processors, which is due to rising prices for rapeseed oil and meal on the domestic market.
