Japanese crushers have so far bought 50000 tonnes of Canadian rapeseed for shipment in late July/August and total purchases for the period are likely to be around 130000 tonnes trade sources said. Crushers reduced their Canadian purchases for late June and July to 111000 from 120000 tonnes due to seasonal maintenance work at oil mills. But estimated crushers buying for July/August was slightly above monthly average and is likely to keep to this level for a while due to a better crushing margin compared with that of soybeans they said.
