  • U.S. refined canola oil disappearance in May was lowest since December 2015: With the limited and expensive supply of refined canola oil this year, it’s no surprise that volumes removed from stocks for processing are down significantly.

  • Canadian canola oil pricing: The average May crude canola oil export value was CAN$1,635 per MT, or around US$0.577 per pound, a nice 14-cent drop from April.
