Cargill launches its Specialty Canola Oil programme

The launch of its most aggressive Specialty Canola Oil (SCO) contracting programme offered to growers since 2005 has been announced by Cargill Limited on August 20.

"We are absolutely thrilled to offer our valued grower customers such an attractive contract," said Chris Aud, vice-president and commercial manager for Cargill Specialty Canola Oils. "We feel confident that the combination of higher grower premiums, new market leading hybrids and a simple programme all add up to the best SCO contract we've ever released to the market. It will drive higher returns for rapeseed growers."

For 2013 SCO contracts, Cargill recommends that growers talk to their local Cargill representatives and selected independent retails for tailored approaches to planning their next crops and to learn about contract details.

"Providing higher returns for rapeseed growers is one of our highest priorities," said Aud. "With near historic rapeseed values, growers shouldn't miss out on the opportunity to grow the highest yielding varieties. Combine these with a very strong specialty premium and SCO growers are ensured the highest possible returns."
