Why FUSHKOV GCG
About the Product
Rapeseed meal is a by-product of oil extraction, the process that turns seed into rapeseed oil. Rapeseed is processed in two steps: mechanical pressing followed by extraction with organic solvents. The dry mass left after the oil is removed then undergoes heat and moisture treatment — toasting.
The meal contains 34–40% protein with high biological value and good digestibility. It is rich in essential amino acids, including methionine, and also contains copper, manganese, iron, calcium, phosphorus and selenium.
Applications
Thanks to its high energy value, rapeseed meal is used in rations for dairy and beef cattle, pigs and poultry.

Types and Grades
World Rapeseed Meal Market
The rapeseed meal market is closely tied to rapeseed crushing for oil. Canada is the world's leading canola exporter, and more than 50 countries import its seed, oil and meal. Besides Canada, FUSHKOV GCG supplies rapeseed meal from Germany, the Czech Republic and Russia, so buyers can source bulk rapeseed meal from several regions.
Storage and Transport
Rapeseed meal is hygroscopic, so it is stored in dry, ventilated warehouses and protected from moisture and self-heating. Pellets are better suited to bulk shipment; bags and big bags suit smaller lots and deliveries to end users. When buying wholesale rapeseed meal, choose the form — meal or pellets — with your logistics in mind.
How a Deal Works
A physical commodity trade typically moves through a set of standard stages. The outline below reflects general industry practice; the actual terms are always set by the contract.
Typical Document Set
In international agricultural trade, the document set usually includes a commercial invoice, a bill of lading or other transport document, and certificates of origin, quality and weight. Plant products normally require a phytosanitary certificate, and feed products a veterinary certificate. The exact list depends on the product, the destination country and the contract terms.
Incoterms 2020 at a Glance
- FCA — the seller hands the goods over to the carrier nominated by the buyer at an agreed place; suitable for any mode of transport.
- FOB — the goods are delivered once loaded on board the buyer's vessel at the port of shipment; from that point the buyer bears the risk.
- CFR — the seller pays freight to the port of destination, but risk passes to the buyer once the goods are on board at the port of shipment.
- CIF — as CFR, but the seller also insures the cargo during the sea voyage.
- DAP — the seller delivers the goods to the agreed destination, ready for unloading; suitable for any mode of transport.
FOB, CFR and CIF apply to sea and inland waterway transport only. This summary is general: the delivery basis is chosen for each deal and fixed in the contract.

What is the difference between rapeseed cake and meal?
Cake is produced by mechanical pressing of the seed, meal by solvent extraction of the oil. Meal retains less oil and usually has a higher protein content.
What is "00" rapeseed?
Rapeseed varieties with low erucic acid in the oil and low glucosinolates in the meal. Meal from such rapeseed is better suited to animal feed.
What does CIF mean?
