The Canadian canola crush accelerated in the final month of the 2024-25 marketing year, although the final total still fell slightly short of expectations.
A Statistics Canada report Monday pegged the July crush at 968,515 tonnes, up a hefty 13.1% from June’s 856,096 but still below 1.05 million in July last year.
The August 2024 - July 2025 cumulative crush totaled 11.412 million tonnes, falling just short of the Agriculture Canada forecast of 11.5 million, but still up 3.4% from 11.033 million in 2023-24.
Ag Canada is forecasting the crush to rise further in the 2025-25 crop year, up to 11.8 million tonnes, based on expanding domestic crush capacity and rising demand, especially from the biofuel sector
The July crush produced 408,900 tonnes of canola oil, up from 364,592 in June but down from 434,490 in July 2024.
