What’s Inside the eBook

This guide explores Canada’s prominent role in oilseed production and processing, highlighting the economic impact and growth potential of these expanding markets.

Crush capacity has been growing steadily to keep up with increasing production to meet rising demand. From 2012 to 2021, Canada’s canola crush increased 38% while soybean crush increased 13%.
Soybean production is another growing market within the
Canadian oilseed sector, comprising the third largest field crop in Canada in terms of farm receipts ($3.5 billion as of 2024) and fourth in terms of acreage (5.7 million as of 2024).
Canadian oil supplies biofuel production around the world, offering a low-carbon, sustainable and renewable
source of clean energy.
