Canola Meal Global Market Report 2026

Canola meal emerges as a byproduct of extracting canola oil from canola seeds, boasting a high-protein composition. It finds widespread application as a feed ingredient in animal diets, notably among livestock such as cattle, poultry, and swine, owing to its balanced amino acid profile, substantial protein content, and digestibility.

The principal variants of canola meal cater to poultry, swine, ruminants, and aquatic animals. Aquatic animals encompass a diverse array of species inhabiting water bodies, including fish, crustaceans (like shrimp and crabs), mollusks (such as clams and oysters), and marine mammals (e.g., dolphins and whales). These variants come in both organic and conventional forms, serving diverse purposes such as feed, fertilizer, food additives, and industrial chemicals.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are influencing the canola meal market by increasing costs of cross-border trade in oilseed byproducts, transportation logistics, and processing equipment. Livestock feed producers in North America and Europe are most affected due to export-import dependencies, while Asia-Pacific faces pricing volatility for imported feed ingredients. These tariffs are impacting feed cost structures and procurement strategies. At the same time, they are encouraging regional oilseed processing, domestic feed ingredient sourcing, and long-term supply chain resilience for animal nutrition markets.

The demand for meat products is expected to drive the growth of the canola meal market going forward. Meat products refer to food items derived from animal muscle tissue and are widely consumed as a key source of high-quality protein. Demand for meat products continues to rise due to population growth, cultural and dietary preferences, and increasing protein consumption worldwide. Canola meal plays a critical role in supporting efficient and sustainable meat production by serving as a nutrient-rich feed ingredient for livestock and poultry, supplying essential proteins, amino acids, and energy required for healthy animal growth. For instance, in December 2023, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), global meat production increased by 0.83%, rising from 362 million metric tons in 2022 to 365 million metric tons in 2023. During the same period, global bovine meat production grew from 75 million metric tons to 75.9 million metric tons. Therefore, rising demand for meat products is driving growth in the canola meal market.

Major companies operating in the canola meal market are focusing on strategic investments to develop high-protein canola and sunflower meal ingredients that can replace traditional, lower-value canola meal. These strategic investments support market growth by funding research and development of protein-rich, functional, and sustainable ingredients; accelerating the adoption of advanced processing technologies; improving nutritional quality and functionality; expanding applications across animal feed, aquaculture, and plant-based food products; and reducing environmental impact through more efficient production practices. For example, in March 2024, Protein Industries Canada, a Canada-based non-profit organization, invested $31 million alongside partners including Corteva Agriscience, Botaneco, Bunge, Rainfed Foods, and Northeast Nutrition Inc. This investment aims to commercialize high-protein canola and sunflower meal ingredients using advanced processing and modern plant-breeding technologies, improving supply chain efficiency, enhancing nutritional value, expanding feed and food applications, and driving sustainable value-added growth across the protein ecosystem.

In January 2025, Bunge Global S.A., a US-based multinational agribusiness and food-processing company, acquired Viterra Limited for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Bunge seeks to strengthen its global canola and oilseed crushing operations, expand production of high-protein canola meal for animal feed, and enhance its supply-chain presence across North America and international markets. Viterra Limited is a Canada-based agribusiness company specializing in the procurement, processing, and marketing of oilseeds, grains, and pulses, with facilities producing canola oil and protein-rich canola meal for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture feed applications.
