Saskatchewan farmers demand the fight against the vibrating trade war with both the American and Chinese governments.
On March 8, the Chinese government announced 100 percent tariffs with the Tariff in imports of Canada Canola, Rapeseed oil, fatty food and peas, pork and seafood.
This was in response to the decision of the Canadian government in October, electric vehicles produced by China, and the decision to apply duty to steel and aluminum products.
Saskatchewan (APAS) says the Union of Agricultural Producers (APAS) fought the uncertainty of these tariffs and potential tariffs that can threaten these tariffs and livelihoods.
Bill Prybylski said Apas president, producers stressed enough stresses from the railway and port holidays.
“From our prospects, it is a kind of events and news that there is no good news for manufacturers,” said Prybylski.
President of the Canadian wheat breeders Gunter Jochum feels that these tariffs are hit heavy and the government does not take action.
“(This) was really a blow. China is one of our largest customers other than the United States, and therefore we are truly struck on both sides.” He said Jochum.

“How do we deal with this? The government threw the ball in this case completely. They are very silent about it. No one says anything.”
Prybylski reflects the feeling and asks the government to do everything they can do to solve it quickly.
“If we do (farmers), we could deal with it. But now we don’t know,” said Prybylsky.
“I doubt that there is a single bullet that will solve all our problems. But we hope that our governments on both levels can be able to relieve the situation and find a quick resolution on these problems.”
Jochum, we must lift the tariffs together.
“Tariffs are a bad thing,” said Jochum. “And the tariffs of revenge are worse, because this is just increasing the trade war.”
“It is important for us to go into a commercial war that we cannot eliminate and win tariffs.”
Canadian wheat breeders require a federal government:
- To ensure equal financial compensation for the lossed losses;
- Canadian producers put an end to translator trading barriers to exacerbate freely and compete within their countries;
- Invest in critical infrastructure to ensure the effective action of agricultural exports to global markets;
- Trade agreements that diversify the market’s markets and trust in global partners;
- Commit to regulatory reforms to provide investment, creating confidence and predict the projected, predictable, scientific-based trading policy.
The organization added that the government calls for “immediate and decisive measures before the crisis spirals before the crisis spirals.”
APAS hosts Saskatoon on Saskatoon on March 27 to mitigate the uncertainty of some producers and asking questions. The summit, other critical concerns looking for the agricultural sector, will solve the relevance problems of trade, he said.
Registration is open to all Saskatchewan farmers without any value.
Prybylski, “be just patient (and) to the manufacturers” reminds “to panic.” “
