The demand for your wool won't go away if manufacturing moves from China and gets dispersed further and wider.

Bin Lurking isnt on your ignore list?

I usually don't take time to respond to any of Bin's provocations.
Thought I would this time. No response yet of course.....

Guys I hate to break it to you but a lot of the time china is just buying our products as a front so they can burrow into our countries. Canola was being stockpiled for years. Thats probably how they were able to cut us off last year.

Assuming we have anything like transparent trade with that country is a mistake. Trade is a political tool for them.

China doesnt want to buy our products. They want to own them here and export to themselves all while controlling our politicians and then controlling our access to the same resource, just like they did with all the PPE.

All of it could have been a front for Huewei who put Nortel out of business and now all our tech repurposed for sale back to us.

Look at wheat for instance. Canadian exports represent a whopping 2.5% of world wheat production. A timely rain or 5 lbs more N in Asia/EU quickly vaporizes Canada's significance in wheat trade.

Not that it's important.
But how many here have been off the beaten path in China?
Seen a State grain storage facility?
Large acre farm?
Dairy processing facility?
Better question is how much production are they securing/producing off the books in Africa and South America?
Or, how do we maintain sovereignty and stay alive?
Does any Western culture think past today? Let alone 100 year business plans.
Canada could disappear tomorrow and a lot of the world wouldn't know it's gone.

You are pretty short sighted. Our export positions gives us clout, not our production numbers. That's the same in all our commodity classes.

Has Egypt ever exported a bushel? Algeria? Those guys have more stolen and spoiled and could never be a world market participant.

And if they happen to have some extra to feed their people, just store and wait a yr and it will all change. Our attention to high quality also sets us apart.

Your statement is, as usual, misleading and inaccurate.

Canadian wheat exports represent 14% of total world trade by volume. There would be a huge gaping hole in wheat supplies world wide if not for Canadian exports.

A nation's production and consumption within its own borders has nothing to do with world trade.

Gives alittle insight into all of his comments on here. Twisted to try and prove his myths.
