What to look for when sourcing high-erucic rapeseed

Product specification

A clear specification is essential as the erucic acid level and physical form determine the end-use, whether for industrial lubricants or other derivatives.

Form & processing

Specify whether you need raw seed, expeller-pressed oil, or meal. Describe the pressing and any refining steps if oil is required.

Erucic acid content

Agree on the erucic acid level in the oil or seed. The 'high-erucic' designation needs a specific, contractually agreed percentage point.

Physical parameters

For seed, state moisture, impurity, and oil content. For oil, specify free fatty acids, moisture and volatiles, and any other relevant quality limits.

Quality acceptance

Quality acceptance hinges on a few decisive laboratory tests. Link these results directly to the shipment you are contracting.

  • Analytical testing

    Agree on the testing standard for erucic acid content, oil content, and relevant purity parameters. Identify who performs the accredited analysis.

  • Physical inspection

    For seed, set acceptable limits for foreign matter, broken kernels, and moisture. For oil, agree on clarity, color, and sediment checks.

  • Sampling & claims

    Define sampling protocol and whether the assessment is on load-out at origin or at destination. Retain a sealed reference sample for any dispute.

Origin requirements

The growing region influences crop traits and contracting options. Confirm what documentation and regional identity you need for your supply chain.

Geographic origin

Request the country or region of production. For identity-preserved programs, ask for the field location and the grower's details.

Crop & contract type

Ask if the supply is from a specific harvest year or a forward production contract. Determine if the supply is identity-preserved or part of a larger commingled lot.

GMO status

Confirm if you require non-GMO product and whether your destination has specific labeling regulations. Establish what documentation the supplier can provide.

Commercial terms

Prices may be quoted on a per-ton basis for raw seed or on a per-ton and per-liter basis for oil. Verify the unit and quality basis for a like-for-like comparison.

Pricing unit
Confirm whether the price relates to a metric ton of raw seed, a metric ton of oil, or another unit. Clarify if price adjustments apply for oil content or moisture.
Delivery terms
Specify delivery as ex-farm, FOB at a load port, or delivered to your plant. Align responsibility for freight, insurance, and export formalities.
Payment & timing
State the payment terms, the shipment window, and whether the price is fixed or tied to a market index. Confirm any minimum and maximum quantity tolerance.

Documentation & compliance

Documentation must prove the product's identity and its suitability for your intended market. Confirm what is required early.

Consignment documents
Align lot references and product specifications across the commercial invoice, packing list, and transport documents.
Origin & identity
Request a certificate of origin if needed for your import process. For identity-preserved supply, require a declaration from the grower or crusher.
Destination requirements
Establish your destination country's import rules for oilseeds and oils, including phytosanitary requirements and any specific labeling for GMO or non-GMO status.

Supplier capability

The supplier's role in processing and storage is critical. Establish who is accountable for achieving and maintaining the contracted quality.

  • Processing capability

    For oil, identify who does the pressing and any refining. For seed, ask how the supplier segregates high-erucic material from standard rapeseed.

  • Storage & handling

    Confirm how the seed or oil is stored to preserve erucic acid content and prevent contamination. Ask about cleaning protocols between different batches.

  • Contract fulfillment

    Clarify the supplier's ability to meet your volume on a repeatable schedule. Ask for confirmation of their internal quality control procedures.
