The market for Erucic Acid is well-established and our demand increasing, providing an opportunity for expansion of HEAR production for 2023.

The unique properties of HEAR oil and its constituents are irreplaceable in a variety of industrial and food applications, including high temperature lubricants, slip agents, printing ink, cosmetics and consumable spreads.

Many new elite varieties are in the breeding programme and being released to continue the improvements for grower production.
