Canola is the most important oilseed crop in the dryland farming systems of central and southern NSW.

 

Other oilseeds grown in NSW include soybeans, sunflower, olives and mustard. Oil is also produced from the leaves of Eucalyptus trees.

 

Canola is grown for its seed which is crushed for the oil used in margarine, cooking oils, salad oils and edible oil blends. The properties of the oil fits with the current view that human health is better served by increasing the intake of mono and poly unsaturated fats in place of saturated fats.

 

After the oil is extracted, the by-product is a protein-rich meal used by the intensive livestock industries.
