Today, the Government of Saskatchewan welcomed Viterra s major announcement to build a world-class canola crush facility in Regina. Our Saskatchewan producers are known worldwide for the safe, high-quality commodities that they produce, Premier Scott Moe said. We are excited to see the economic activity and jobs that this announcement will create for our province. This announcement aligns with our Growth Plan goals, bringing us to our target to crush 75 per cent of the canola produced in our province at home in Saskatchewan. Construction on the new 2.5 million metric tonne (MMT) canola processing plant is expected to begin in early 2022 with production underway in 2024.
