Canola Farm in Australia.
A common sight when out for a drive in rural Australia in September is a vast field of beautiful golden coloured canola flowers. The seeds of these flowers are used in stock feed and also in the production of Canola oil. Canola oil is valuable because it is healthier than other vegetable oils because it has a higher percentage of unsaturated fat and omega-3.
Australia is the worlds second largest exporter of Canola seeds and Canola is the third largest broad acre crop, The main markets are China, Japan, Pakistan and Europe. The value of canola exports is around $600,000,000 per Annam.
Canola can also be used in the production of bio-diesel fuel and is likely to become more valuable as supplies of fossil fuels decline.
