A new canola refinery plant is being built near Saskatoon.
Cargill says the world-class plant will be constructed at the site of its current crush facility in Clavet, just east of the city.
“This builds on the original vision of Clavet being an integrated canola processing hub for Cargill and for Saskatchewan,” added Ken Stone, commercial manager of grains and oilseeds.
Cargill says the new facility will employ the latest in design for efficient and food-safe production of canola oil for the North American market.
The current plant, which was built in 1996 and expanded in 2009, is the largest canola processing facility in Canada.
Up to 30 additional jobs will be created at the plant, boosting employment to almost 200 people at the complex.
Cargill expects the refinery to begin operation in time for the 2014-15 canola harvest.
