Integrated Ag Complex Canola Crush Facility

Joint venture with Federated Co-Operative Limited (FCL)

In January 2022, AGT Foods and FCL announced a memorandum of understanding to form a joint venture (JV) partnership to construct a new canola crush facility near Regina, SK. The canola crush facility will supply approximately 50% of the feedstock required for a 15,000-barrel-per-day renewable diesel plant, which will be constructed on the same site as the crush facility. Within the partnership, AGT Foods will supply the canola needed for the facility, and plans to use the canola meal produced by the facility to develop unique products for the food ingredient marketplace. More information on the Canola Crush Facility will be announced as the facility continues to be established. Read the original press release here.
