Another Canadian canola exporter has had its licence revoked by China.
This time Saskatchewan’s Viterra Inc. is no longer able to ship the crop.
Effective immediately, Viterra is the second Canadian company to be hit with a formal ban.
Last year, about 40 per cent of canola seed exports went to China, worth around $2.7 billion.
In justifying the move Chinese customs officials said they had detected the same pests, like last time, in Viterra's canola.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters in Winnipeg that his government is taking seriously the recent action by China to block canola imports from Canada.
Trudeau says they're looking at sending a high-level delegation to China to see if they can work out the issues.
He said Canada's canola is top quality and the oversight, inspection and science behind it is world class.
