REGINA, Saskatchewan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cargill, a global leader in oilseed processing, today announced it has surpassed the 50 percent completion milestone in the construction of its new canola facility located at the Global Transportation Hub in West Regina, Sask. 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.

“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,” said Jeff Vassart, president of Cargill Canada. “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.”

To support rail and road infrastructure around the new plant, Cargill recently completed the purchase of just over 400 acres near the Global Transportation Hub. This will allow for better connection to existing rail lines, providing efficient access to destination markets for both meal pellets and canola oil. Additionally, this will mean the site has additional optionality to bring canola seed to Regina when needed, providing a new destination for farmers in western Canada.

Cargill offers a full suite of solutions for farmers across western Canada – from grain marketing and advisory services to crop inputs and agronomic expertise. Canadian canola growers can maximize the value of their canola through a variety of programs. Learn more at CargillAg.ca.
