Louis Dreyfus company expands canola crush capacity in Saskatchewan

Apr 12, 2023

The further expansion of a canola facility in Saskatchewan will move the province even closer to its 2030 Growth Plan goal of crushing 75 per cent of the canola produced in the province.

Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) announced it will double processing at its Yorkton plant to accommodate an annual crush exceeding two million metric tonnes.

Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission Executive Director Tracy Broughton was happy to hear the news.

“I think any opportunities to be able to deliver to a processing facility here in Saskatchewan is good news for canola farmers,” Broughton said. “We are an export driven crop so just having that domestic market to deliver to helps to be resilient against any trade issues that may come down.”
