Melbourne: Australia, one of the leading producers and exporters of canola (a high-quality variety of rapeseed/mustard), has reported strong export momentum. According to the latest data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the country exported 8.83 lakh tonnes of canola in February 2026. This marks a significant increase compared to 5.70 lakh tonnes in January and 6.02 lakh tonnes in December 2025.

As a result, total canola exports during the December–February quarter reached 20.55 lakh tonnes.

India does not import canola, but there is substantial demand from European Union countries, including Belgium, France, Germany, and Greece. Additionally, Asian countries such as China, Japan, Nepal, and the United Arab Emirates import large quantities of canola from Australia. The Netherlands is also a key importer within the EU.

Globally, canola supply remains strong. Countries like Canada, Europe, and the Black Sea region have reported good production of rapeseed and canola. As a result, prices of this important oilseed are showing relative stability with only limited fluctuations.
