Quality of Australian Canola 2023-24

Abstract

Canola samples representing the 2023 harvest were received from GrainCorp Operations Limited (Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria), Viterra Pty Ltd (South Australia) and CBH Group (Western Australia). These samples represent the seed collected at each receival point and have been taken to cumulatively represent the Australian harvest. Samples representing each of the 4 port zones were received from Western Australia. The NSW Department of Primary Industries (NSW DPI) Oil Testing Service (OTS) has no control over sample collection and all data reported derives from analysing the provided samples. This year, one sample was submitted from the Goondiwindi zone in Queensland by GrainCorp Operations Limited. This sample from southern Queensland has been incorporated into the northern New South Wales data. All averages reported are weighted, based on the tonnage represented
