The enhancements to the canola futures contract are expected to significantly improve the efficiency of the shipment process defined in the contract. Also, the enhancements allow for greater flexibility in the management of product by the firm making delivery. These contract revisions are similar to the recently revised feed wheat and field pea futures contracts and the new canola meal futures contract.
The revised contract will expire on the business day preceding the fifteenth calendar day of the delivery month, with the last delivery day being the second business day after the last day of trade.
