Partnership across the value chain
The Canola Council of Canada involves all parts of the value chain, including canola growers, processors, life science companies and exporters. We all sit down at the same table to discuss and advance our collective success.
Our strategic priorities
We move forward guided by the three strategic priorities of the industry’s Keep it Coming 2025 strategic plan:
Sustainable, reliable supply
Meeting growing global demand for Canadian canola while increasing the economic and environmental benefits of every acre
Differentiated value
Demonstrating the quality characteristics of canola seed, oil and meal
Stable and open trade
Creating a trade environment that consistently allows the industry to attain maximum value for canola
