Bunge and GDM are launching Enerseed, a joint venture to develop non-traditional oilseed crops as low-carbon biofuel feedstocks while creating new opportunities for growers.

BASF and Bunge today announced that Bunge will process InVigor Gold™ canola seed, BASF’s breakthrough canola-quality Brassica juncea hybrid. This represents a key step toward commercialization as BASF prepares for the U.S. launch in 2027.

BASF’s new InVigor Gold L322 canola hybrid is designed for arid, heat-stressed environments, offering earlier bloom and harvest, more consistent yield performance, and greater rotational flexibility for Northwest growers, with availability planned for the 2027 growing season.

Beginning with the 2027 crop year, producers will be able to elect enterprise units at the type-level, rather than combining all types into a single enterprise unit.

In the rule USDA cites the change to include “spring canola” as an eligible feedstock in response to comments by USCA and other organizations/individuals.
