Cargill has completed a move to a new canola seed facility on the south side of Idaho Falls, which nearly doubled the amount of space and upgraded equipment to improve product quality and enlist new modern safety features.

"The new seed facility will help improve operational efficiency and assures the quality and purity of our VICTORY Hybrid Canola,'' said Jenny Verner, president, Cargill Specialty Canola Oils.

Producing VICTORY Hybrid Canola seed in and around Idaho Falls, allows Cargill to maintain the high oleic traits that are important for their oil customers.

This upgrade completes several upgrades to Cargill's high oleic canola programme to match its capacity with the demand for healthier oils. In the past two years, Cargill has expanded its Innovation Center in Fort Collins, constructed a new breeding center in Aberdeen, Saskatchewan and doubled the size of its crush plant in Clavet, Saskatchewan to meet the demand for high oleic canola oil.
