Cargill, a global leader in oilseed processing, announced it has surpassed the 50% completion milestone in the construction of its new canola facility located at the Global Transportation Hub in West Regina, Saskatchewan. Cargill broke ground on the facility in July 2022, and anticipates opening in 2025. The new facility will have the capacity to process 1 million metric tons of canola per year, producing crude canola oil for food and biofuel markets and canola meal for animal feed.
Jeff Vassart, president of Cargill Canada, said, “The addition of the Regina facility to the Cargill network will play a critical role connecting the Canadian canola industry to the expanding domestic and global market opportunities for vegetable oil, high quality meal and biofuels. The current construction environment is full of unique challenges and this project has faced many headwinds since we broke ground, but we are committed to becoming a best-in-class option for canola growers in the region, along with helping decarbonize the global food and fuel supply chain
