Canadians say they doubt there will be any quick or easy solution to the situation that began earlier this month with a ban on canola handled by Richardson International.
China is a big canola customer, buying $2.7 billion worth in 2017.
While the Chinese complained about contaminants in the Richardson shipments, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency said its tests have failed to turn up anything of concern.
Some are speculating that it’s a political tactic to pressure Canada to release Meng Wanzhu, chief financial officer for Huawei.
Canadian courts have yet to decide whether to grant extradition.
