Through the development of high quality, high-protein products, Canada will improve the competitiveness and profitability of Canadian canola and sunflower in both domestic and international markets.

Key Points: 
  • Through the development of high quality, high-protein products, Canada will improve the competitiveness and profitability of Canadian canola and sunflower in both domestic and international markets.
  • The latest effort builds off a Protein Industries Canada project led by Corteva which successfully created the genetic platform for creating, selecting and  commercially testing high-protein, reduced-fibre canola germplasm.
  • Now, the project will transition into  commercialization and market acceptance of high-protein canola meal in feed applications for non-ruminant livestock, including farmed aquaculture fish.
  • Transforming meal into a high-protein product helps support profitability for Canadian farmers and delivers optimal downstream benefit for every canola seed planted."
