Projection and prospects for rapeseed and mustard seed

Abstract

Abstract Rapeseed is number five among the oilseeds of the world. During the last 10 years the crop has increased more in per cent than any other oilseed crop. In the FAO prospects an annual rate of increase of 4.7% is foreseen. The fatty acid composition will change during the next years so that erucic acid will be practically removed. The content of glucosinolates will also be reduced dramatically, and consequently the meal will be accepted much more readily.
