Canadian canola crushing capacity is set to rise from 11 million to 18 million tonnes if announced plants are built, adding roughly 3.5 million tonnes of meal to the market. A similar expansion of US soybean crushing is underway, and the industry is seeking new markets for meal.
Growing meal supply relative to demand could weigh on canola and soybean meal prices unless new feed and export outlets develop. Strong biofuel-driven oil demand supports crush expansion, shifting value toward oil over meal.
