Crush
Canola and Cotton Crush, Meal and Refined Oils
Canola is well known for producing one of the world's healthiest vegetable oils and its importance as an environmentally friendly biofuel alternative is growing. Australian canola is grown using sustainable farming systems and can be certified as meeting sustainability criteria for market access to Europe for use in biofuel.
Canola meal is a co-product of canola that is available after the seed has been crushed and the oil extracted. The high-quality protein meal can be used for cattle, poultry, swine, and fish diets; and as a fertiliser. It has an excellent amino acid profile and is high in vitamins and essential minerals.
Cargill Australia’s vegetable oil, refinery, and packaging facility is located in Newcastle, New South Wales. The operation refines local canola and cottonseed oils along with several imported vegetable oils. The Cargill refinery in Newcastle is fully integrated with existing multi-seed crush facility. This integrated crush and refinery is conveniently located on the Newcastle port and meets Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service requirements for processing imported oilseeds.
Cargill also has canola crush facility in Footscray, Victoria. The oil and meal produced at Footscray is sold to domestic customers and exported via the Port of Melbourne. In 2023, Cargill announced that we will be investing $US50 million in our crush assets. The investment includes; upgrading and restarting our Narrabri Plant to dehull cotton with the cottonseed meats sent to Newcastle for processing, upgrading our Newcastle plan to become a cotton and canola switch plant, increasing the overall crush capacity of the plan; and finally upgrading the Footscray plant, increasing capacity and improving site access and site facilities.
