I. Rapeseed: stock and port arrival

This week (ended Oct. 4th), rapeseed inventory totals 80,000 tonnes in domestic coastal areas, a reduction of 53,000 tonnes by 39.85% from 133,000 tonnes last week and by 77.78% from 360,000 tonnes of the corresponding period last year. Among them, stock in Guangxi, Guangdong and Fujian has decreased by 51.46% to 50,000 tonnes from 103,000 tonnes last week and by 80% from 250,000 tonnes of the same week in the previous year. According to Cofeed, there will be only two boatloads of Canadian rapeseed and 40,000 tonnes from Australia for October shipments, and 60,000 tonnes of Australian rapeseed in November amid tensions between China and Canada. Only when there is a thaw between China and Canada will Chinese firms start to buy Canadian rapeseed substantially. China and the United States have resumed their trade talks, but it is less likely that China and Canada will see a thaw very soon, and even if that happens, it will take some time for the process of purchase, loading and arrival. This will probably lead to a tight supply outlook of rapeseed.
