Premium structure
Differentials between benchmarks reveal where physical canola meal trades relative to the futures reference and how regional grades price against the global standard.
| Benchmark | Differential | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vancouver export terminals, Western Canada | Often priced at a discount to ICE canola seed futures equivalent, reflecting oil extraction value and meal–oil share. | |
| US Pacific Northwest feed markets | Typically trades at a discount to US soybean meal CIF PNW on a per-ton basis but at times parity or premium on a digestible protein basis. | |
| Northwest Europe ports (Hamburg, Rotterdam) | Quoted at a variable discount to CBOT soybean meal, reflecting lower protein content and regional supply-demand. | |
| ICE Futures Canada | Physical canola meal values are derived from seed futures less oil value and crush margin; traders track the crush spread rather than a direct differential. |
