Die kanadischen Landwirte sind mit zwei Front Handelskrieg ausgesetzt, wenn die Pflichten von China in Kraft treten

Canadian farmers are facing tariffs from two major trading partners, with China’s tariffs on Canadian canola oil, meal, and peas taking effect and US tariffs expected on additional products soon. The Chinese tariffs, which include a 100% tariff on over $1 billion of Canadian canola oil and meal, and a 25% duty on $1.6 billion worth of aquatic products and pork, are part of a retaliatory measure against Canadian levies. Farmers have already purchased seeds and inputs for the upcoming planting season, so they must proceed with their plans despite the new tariffs. The trade tensions are also affecting farmers‘ finances, with many seeking loans to fund their crops and delaying major purchases, such as new equipment. The Canadian Canola Growers Association has seen an increase in loan applications, as farmers prepare for the potential impact of the tariffs on their businesses.
