  • 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.
  • Where is canola grown in South Africa?
  • Southern Oil (Pty) Ltd (SOILL) procures all the locally grown canola seed produced in South Africa. Most of this is produced under dryland conditions in the Western Cape, but small volumes are also derived from the Eastern Cape. Production started with five farmers, over an area of 400 ha, with 400 to 420 farmers planting canola nowadays.
  • Why is canola production important?
  • Canola production, as such, has significantly improved grain production sustainability, as well as rural development and job creation. Southern Oil (Pty) Ltd (SOILL) procures all the locally grown canola seed produced in South Africa.
  • How do you transport canola seeds?
  • During transportation, all cracks and holes in the truck and other equipments must be compactly sealed to prevent leakage and tightly covered to prevent canola seeds from being blown away. Canola competes with other plant oils, mainly sunflower and soya oils, on the local market.
