AUSTRALIA exported 329,162 tonnes of canola in June, down 35 percent from the 503,754t shipped in April, according to the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

The monthly total lifts the figure for the current shipping year starting October 1 to 4.81 million tonnes, to break the 2021-22 Oct-Jun record of 4.64Mt.

Pakistan on 120,599t was the top destination for June-shipped canola, followed by Japan on 71,804t and Belgium on 62,065t.

Shipping stems indicate Australian canola exports will sit at 150,000-300,000t per month until new-crop becomes available in November.

Australia is one of the world’s most significant exporters of brassica oilseeds, and is next month hosting the quadrennial International Rapeseed Congress in Sydney.

The event kicks off with a field day in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, on September 22, and September 25-27 program in Sydney will cover agronomy, and traditional and developing markets including biofuel and plant protein.
