Pakistan has lifted a ban on Canadian canola it imposed three years ago.
It has in the past been a significant customer. It banned canola that is genetically modified, meaning mainly altered to tolerate glyphosate-based weed killers.
Canola Council president Chris Davison called it very good news.
Dean Roberts, chair of the Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission said right now any good news is welcome on the farm.
In the four years before the ban Pakistan bought an average of 810,00 tonnes a year from Canada.
China has put a high tariff in place and the United States changed its policy on using Canadian canola in diesel fuel, so canola producers are facing a tough time.
