  • How much canola is produced in South Africa?
  • The production of canola in South Africa, which on average is between 75 and 96 thousand tons per annum, is usually higher than the demand, although the local consumption requirements for canola has recently increased to around 100 773 tons per year, with the favourable prices being achieved.
  • Why is canola growing in South Africa?
  • Canola farming in South Africa has expanded in recent years due to increases in global demand for canola oil and in August 2022, 121 000 hectares were under canola, up 21% from the previous year. The main producing area is in the Western Cape, where there are over 1,000 canola farmers.
  • How can we improve canola seed production in South Africa?
  • Development of new varieties that are higher yielding, tolerant to drought, are nitrogen use efficient, are herbicide tolerant, have resistance to shattering, sclerotinia and blackleg and resistance to insects like the Diamond-back moth would greatly enhance canola seed production in South Africa.
  • When did canola become a viable crop in South Africa?
  • Believe it or not, canola only became established as a viable crop here in 1996, when SOILL (Southern Oil Pty Ltd) opened the doors of its canola oil refinery in Swellendam. Apart from a dip during and after the Western Cape drought of 2015-2017, the industry has grown immensely.
