BASF Agricultural Solutions is investing $27 million CAD to expand its Canola Breeding Centre of Innovation in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Construction will begin this spring and is expected to finish by the end of 2027.

The investment is designed to enhance breeding capacity, integrate advanced automation, and speed up the development of new canola hybrids. The expansion includes infrastructure for precision-controlled environment systems and a new research-grade glasshouse. This initiative supports the InVigor hybrid canola program, improving genetic gain and addressing evolving agronomic challenges.
