Australian canola is well known for producing one of the world’s healthiest vegetable oils and is sought after as an environmentally sustainable feedstock for biofuel.
Geographically, Australia is well placed to supply the export markets of Asia with high-quality canola for oil and meal production. Buyers of Australian canola have access to both conventional and genetically modified (GM) product. Australia supplies almost 6mmt of canola (15–30% of the world’s trade) to markets around the world each year, with Europe being the single largest market.
