Rapeseed types
Rapeseed export market
Rapeseed is one of the world's leading oilseeds: according to USDA (October 2026), world production in 2025/26 reached 96.0 million tonnes. Canada is the largest producer and exporter (a 22.2-million-tonne crop in 2025/26); the EU, China and India are also major producers. Canada, Australia and Romania, from which FUSHKOV GCG supplies bulk rapeseed, rank among the leading exporters. In international trade the HS code separates low-erucic seed from other rapeseed, so erucic acid content affects both customs classification and price.
The main buyers are oil extraction plants, which produce edible and technical oil plus meal for the compound feed sector.
How a deal works
Delivery terms: an Incoterms 2020 primer
The delivery basis sets the point where risk passes from seller to buyer and who pays for main carriage and insurance. These are the rules most often discussed in commodity contracts:
- FCA (Free Carrier) — risk passes when the goods are handed to the carrier at the agreed place; the buyer pays for main carriage. Suitable for any mode of transport.
- FOB (Free On Board) — risk passes once the goods are on board the vessel at the port of shipment; the buyer pays freight and insurance.
- CFR (Cost and Freight) — the seller pays freight to the port of destination, but risk passes on loading at the port of shipment.
- CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) — as CFR, plus the seller arranges minimum marine cargo insurance.
- DAP (Delivered at Place) — the seller bears risk and cost up to the named destination and delivers the goods ready for unloading; the buyer handles import clearance.
FOB and CIF apply to sea and inland waterway transport only, CFR to sea freight. The delivery basis for each deal is agreed in the contract.
Storage and transport
The Canola Council of Canada recommends cooling seed below 15 °C and drying it to 8% moisture or below for long-term storage. The 10% limit is the threshold for grading as «dry» in Canada, not a guarantee of safe storage: warm seed can spoil even when dry. After harvest the seed goes through a «sweating» period when moisture and temperature in the bulk shift, so lots need active aeration and regular monitoring.
Frequently asked questions
Where do you source rapeseed from?
From Canada, Australia and Romania. Canola seed is also available.
What packaging do you offer, and how is volume agreed?
25 kg and 50 kg bags or big bags. Lot size and packaging are agreed to suit your request.
How does canola differ from rapeseed?
Canola refers to rapeseed varieties bred in Canada with low erucic acid in the oil (less than 2%) and low glucosinolates in the meal. Oil and meal from this seed suit the food and feed industries.
Why does erucic acid matter?
It determines whether the oil is edible or technical, and the HS classification of the seed: 1205 10 for low erucic acid rapeseed, 1205 90 for other.
What is the difference between FOB and CFR?
Under FOB the buyer pays freight and insurance; under CFR the seller pays freight to the port of destination. In both cases risk passes to the buyer once the goods are loaded on board at the port of shipment.
