The center will focus on trait integration, yield-trial seed processing, seed quality analysis, and advanced research into root biology, climate resilience, and crop efficiency.
The USDA’s FASUSDA’s-FAS projects total EU oilseed production at 32.25 million tonnes, down 1% from the previous year, despite planted area rising by almost 7%.
The facility can process 70,000 tonnes of raw materials a year, turning shea into butter and soybeans into oil and oilseed cake.
Rapeseed and sunflower oil exports are expected to increase 8% and 15%, respectively.
Engineered for high-throughput oilseed preparation plants, the new OLFC combines extended roll service life, reduced structural vibration, and automated operation to boost plant yield, lower energy consumption, and improve long-term uptime.
