CALGARY, ALBERTA (RFD NEWS) — Louis Dreyfus recently celebrated the grand opening of its expanded processing facility in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, marking another investment in Canada’s growing value-added agriculture sector.
RealAg Radio host Shaun Haney joined us on Monday’s Market Day Report to discuss what the expansion means for the canola industry and what producers can expect from the upgraded facility.
Haney also explained the industry’s push toward increasing domestic canola crushing capacity, as more processing investment remains focused on adding value to the crop before it is exported.
The conversation also examined the growing demand for pulse proteins and how increased consumer interest in protein consumption is creating additional opportunities for the pulse crop sector.
