Quality of Canadian canola exports in 2025-2026

This dataset contains export quality data for Canadian canola from the 2025-2026 shipping year. The Canadian Grain Commission samples export shipments of canola each month during the shipping year, which runs from August 1 to July 31. Data are compiled from the results of analytical tests performed in the Grain Research Laboratory.
