  • How much canola oil is produced in South Africa?
  • Approximately 300 000 to 350 000 tons of plant oils are produced in South Africa and the balance is imported, primarily as sunflower oil and soya oil. The biggest sales point for canola in the Western Cape is the industrial market because of its good emulsifying characteristics.‌
  • How much canola oil is produced a year?
  • Canola oil production has increased by 23% over the past decade, reaching 27.4 mln t, or 40 percent of the world’s total crop output. 9.5 mln t & 6.1 mln t of canola oil will be produced in EU and China in 2019/2020, respectively. Export of canola‌
  • Is canola a new crop in South Africa?

  • Where is canola made in South Africa?
  • Most of South Africa’s canola is produced in the Western Cape. Canola meal and oil cake, which are by-products of oil processing, are good sources of animal protein with canola grain containing 36% to 46% oil and 20% to 24% protein and the canola oilcake containing about 35% protein.‌
  • What is canola used for in South Africa?
  • In South Africa, canola is primarily used for the manufacturing of canola oil and oil cake.

  • Why is canola an important crop?
  • Canola is an important crop because its seeds are the source of canola, or rapeseed, oil all over the world. In fact, canola oil is the #3 edible oil produced and used worldwide. The name canola refers to a blend of the words “Canada” (where the rapeseed plant was bred for production) and “ola” from the Latin root word oleo, meaning “oil.”
