Protein Industries Canada has announced a joint investment with industry partners of over $27 million towards a canola breeding project focused on making canola hybrids that produce high protein meal for downstream use. Protein Industries Canada will invest $13.6 million, while the consortium led by Corteva Agriscience and including Bunge and Botaneco are to invest $14.05 million. Through the project, genetics from Corteva’s breeding programs and public sector sources, such as Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, will identify genes that result in high protein and reduced fibre products. These products will be scaled up to provide seeds for processing by both Bunge and Botaneco to produce meal and high-value canola protein products for human and monogastric markets.
