WA Government enters exclusive lease negotiations with Cargill Australia for a canola crush plant in Kwinana

In Australia, Mirage News reported that the government of Western Australia region has entered exclusive lease negotiations with Cargill Australia for a world-class canola crush plant in Kwinana.

The report noted that Cargill is investigating the potential to develop a canola crush plant on a site adjacent to the CBH Kwinana Grain Terminal, subject to all necessary regulatory approvals.

The project would service both the domestic and export oil and meal market, utilize locally grown canola and expand Western Australia’s processing capacity for canola oil, the report added.

Western Australia Premier Roger Cook, said: “This is a hugely exciting project for Kwinana and for WA – expanding our local processing capacity, creating local jobs and positioning our State in the clean biofuel market. My government will now work closely with Cargill to progress this project and ensure we provide the land and support to keep Kwinana at the heart of our State’s industrial future.”
