Cargill’s Sasketechwan canola facility passes 50% completion milestone

In Canada, Cargill 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.

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.
