  • 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.
  • 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.
  • What is the future for South Africa’s canola industry?
  • The future looks bright for South Africa’s canola industry. With recent record-breaking plantings, opportunities for the export of canola are opening up. With poor harvests of sunflowers in Eastern Europe and Russia, the cost of sunflower oil soared by more than 40% in some regions.
