Canola Value Added Processing Facility Expansion
This project will expand the Macquarie Oil Company production facility, doubling the capacity of existing operations and enabling the growth of Tasmania's GM free canola industry. This expansion will include purchase and commissioning of an additional expeller, build of new storage silos and augers and expansion of processing and packing areas. This exciting project will reduce the reliance on imported canola products for agriculture and aquaculture in Tasmania. It will also provide an important additional cropping option for Tasmanian farmers, supporting the opportunity presented by the investment into irrigation infrastructure and mitigating the risk of downturn of other crops such as poppies.
