Record Canola Crop for 2012

Australian Oilseeds Federation projects record canola crop for 2012 

Record canola harvest brings an early Christmas present

Growers who took the punt in autumn and sowed additional hectares of canola are reaping the benefits now, as Australia records its largest canola harvest on record with the added bonus that prices are remaining very strong.

In its December Crop Report released today the Australian Oilseeds Federation (AOF) reports the canola harvest as being a record 2.946 million tonnes. This exceeds the prior record set in 1999 by over half a million tonnes. With prices between $450-$490/tonne delivered to east coast ports, the year is also set to become a record in value terms.
