Canada’s canola industry. Innovative. Resilient. Determined to create superior value and a healthier world.
Canada’s canola industry adds over $11 billion in economic activity to the Canadian economy. More than 52,000 Canadian farmers grow canola – largely as full time farmers and in ‘family farm’ businesses. They depend on canola to generate between one third and one half of their revenues. Domestically, canola generates economic activity of $1.4 billion in Ontario and Quebec (primarily in the processing sector), and $7.5 billion in western Canada. The world is our market. Canola exports bring over $2 billion back to the Canadian economy, and represent 75% of our annual production. Exports have gone from making up 1% of our total exports to the rest of the world in 2000, to 4% in 2004. See full Socio-Economic Value Report
