Canola, which is used in the making of salad oil, cooking oil, and other edible edible oil products, is being processed at a new plant built by Canada Packers Inc. at Hamilton. Last week, members of the Bowmanville Rotary Club learned some of the details about the $20 million million project from Murray Stewart, public relations manager for Canada Pack ers Inc. Mr. Stewart said the facility facility will require 450 to 500 metric tonnes of Canola each 24 hours. That means approximately 200,000 acres of the seed-bearing plant must be produced each year in Ontario. At the moment, the province produces produces 20,000 acres of this; crop which was formerly' known as rapeseed. Mr. Stewart explained- that the company hopes to eventually receive 50 per' cent of the crop from On-1 tario. At the moment, much of' the crop is produced in the" western provinces, but' growing it within Ontario is I a desirable objective be-; cause much of the market! for edible oils is within On-' tario and Quebec. Salad oil and cooking oil are the most common products products made from Canola. A by-product called Canola meal is used as a supplement supplement in livestock feed because because of its high protein content. Approximately 50 per cent of the edible oils are exported, Mr. Stewart said.
