Omega Grains signs agreement to trial camelina in Spain

In Spain, Delaware-based Omega Grains, via its Argentine subsidiary Chacraservicios, has signed a cooperation agreement with the Technological Institute for Food and Agriculture (ITAGRA) and the regional agricultural cooperative of Carrión de los Condes to trial camelina for later use as a biodiesel feedstock. A test plot is already underway in the area, with the agreement set to expand those trials. Chacraservicios is already producing camelina in Argentina and expects to begin biodiesel production there next year.
