Australia produces 3–5 million tonnes of canola seed annually, primarily in the grain belt of Western Australia (Avon Valley, Great Southern, Wheatbelt regions — accounting for approximately 50% of national production), South Australia (Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula), Victoria (Wimmera, Mallee), and New South Wales (central and southern wheat/canola belt). The Australian canola planting season is autumn (March–June) and harvest occurs in November–December in temperate regions, making Australian canola available as new crop in December–January.
Importantly, Australia has not approved the commercial cultivation of genetically modified canola varieties nationally — only NSW and Victoria have state-level moratoria lifted (since 2008), and GM canola cultivation in those states is limited. Western Australia, which produces the bulk of export canola, rejected GM cultivation. As a result, Australian canola is overwhelmingly non-GMO by default — buyers do not need to pay IP (identity-preserved) premiums or arrange special segregated logistics. This makes Australia the most cost-effective source of default non-GMO canola oil for European and other non-GMO-sensitive buyers.
