Canadian Grain Commission data for June exports indicated strong but slowing shipments of the major Canadian grain, oilseed and pulse crops.
Wheat and canola remain the largest exports with wheat continuing at a record pace and canola remaining the third largest on record.
With one month left in the crop year, Canadian exports continued to shine in a tariff-clouded world.
The primary destination for Canadian grain, oilseeds and pulses remained China, but exports to that country did decline in June.
Total exports to China during the month were 456,700 tonnes, which was down by 207,100 tonnes from May.
June exports to China were the smallest since December, when only 345,400 tonnes were shipped.
The decline in June shipments is primarily due to seasonal factors, with Chinese wheat and rapeseed harvests nearly complete.
