Rapeseed production and use in Europe has substantially increased in the past several years. This increase has been fostered by the European Economic Community through payments to raise the price to the farmer without penalizing the processor. Production in Europe has risen to about 2 million metric tons with most of the seed being processed and used in Europe.
