“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.
