• It is estimated that processing canola and soybeans in Canada is now responsible for $7.8 billion in economic activity every year, a threefold increase from a decade ago.

• About 10,000 Canadian jobs are directly and indirectly attributed to the crushing, refining, and delivery of canola meal and oil.

• Consistent with the significant growth of oilseed production in recent years, the processing sector has invested substantially to increase Canadian processing capacity.

• Over the last decade, approximately $2 billion have been invested in plant construction; crush capacity has more than doubled, reaching a new high of 10.7 million tonnes for canola and 3.2 million tonnes for soybeans in 2016.

Growth and Strategic Plan

Since 2005 crush capacity and crush volumes have nearly tripled.

This is indicative of the industry’s commitment to add value in Canada.
