Keep Canada’s Canola Clean
Canada exports more than 90% of the canola we produce, which means meeting canola export requirements is critical. Shipments containing even trace amounts of unacceptable residues or de‑registered varieties can be rejected, resulting in millions of dollars in losses and putting future market access at risk.
As a grower, you play a key role in keeping canola markets open. By following the Keep it Clean guidelines and understanding canola export requirements, you help protect Canada’s reputation as a trusted, high‑quality supplier and ensure your crop is ready for global markets.
