What to look for when sourcing high-erucic crude rapeseed oil

Product specification

Crude rapeseed oil for erucic acid extraction differs from food-grade oil. Start with the intended end use and required erucic acid level.

Oil type

Specify high-erucic crude rapeseed oil and the erucic acid content you need. Confirm if it is mechanically pressed or solvent-extracted, as this affects quality and processing.

Physical and chemical parameters

Agree on free fatty acids, moisture and impurities, and color. These affect refining yield and downstream processing, so set limits that match your process.

Batch or continuous supply

Confirm whether you are buying a single tank or a series of shipments. This affects the consistency you can expect, as each batch may vary slightly.

Quality acceptance

Quality testing is critical because crude oil varies. Agree on the sampling and testing methods that link the sample to the full shipment.

  • Lab analysis

    Set the parameters and test methods for erucic acid, FFA, moisture, and impurities. Ask for a certificate of analysis from the supplier's lab or an independent one.

  • Tank inspection

    For bulk shipments, arrange for tank inspection before loading and at discharge. Check for contamination, sediment, and proper tank cleaning.

  • Acceptance and claims

    Identify offer, pre-shipment, and arrival samples. Retain an approved sample and agree on inspection responsibilities and claim deadlines.

Origin requirements

Origin influences oil quality and supply reliability. Clarify how much traceability you need, from the crushing plant to the specific crop.

Traceability

Request the crushing plant location, the growing region of the rapeseed, and the production date. This helps assess consistency and potential contamination risks.

Crop and stock

Ask when the rapeseed was harvested and crushed, and where the oil is stored. Confirm availability for immediate or future shipment.

Acceptable alternatives

For ongoing supply, define which origins or crushing methods you can accept without changing the oil's erucic acid profile or quality.

Commercial terms

Crude rapeseed oil is traded in bulk, often on a per-tonne basis. Compare offers on the same delivery and payment terms to avoid hidden costs.

Pricing basis
Confirm whether the price is fixed or linked to a benchmark (e.g., vegetable oil futures). State the currency, unit, and any price adjustment mechanisms.
Delivery terms
Agree on Incoterms such as FOB at the origin port, CIF at your destination, or ex-works from the supplier's tank. Clarify freight, insurance, and tank storage charges.
Shipping and payment
Specify the shipment period, tank or container size, and payment terms (e.g., letter of credit or transfer). Ensure these match your logistics and cash flow.

Documentation & compliance

Documentation must match the specific oil shipment. Verify that all documents align with the actual product and destination requirements.

Shipment documents
Align the invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of analysis. Check that the product name, quantity, and origin match across all documents.
Certification
If the oil is for organic or non-GMO use, verify certification and the associated audit trail. Confirm the chain of custody is intact for the lot.
Destination rules
Check with customs or a broker for any import restrictions or labeling requirements for rapeseed oil in your country. Prepare the necessary import permits or declarations.

Supplier capability

A crusher, refiner, or trader may control different parts of the supply chain. Establish who is accountable for the oil's quality and delivery.

  • Processing

    Identify who crushes the seed and who handles refining, if any. Ask about their capacity, quality control, and who resolves quality disputes.

  • Consistency

    Ask how the supplier maintains erucic acid levels across batches. Enquire about their raw material sourcing and testing frequency.

  • Logistics

    Confirm minimum shipment size, tank capacity, and loading capabilities. For smaller buyers, ask about repackaging or consolidated deliveries.
