Rapeseed (Canola 00 / High-Erucic)
HS1205.10.00Standard
Russian rapeseed (Brassica napus) production has expanded rapidly, with both double-zero (00-variety, canola) and high-erucic industrial varieties grown across Siberia, the Urals, and the Central Black Earth region. Russian rapeseed is valued for its high oil content (≥42%) and is primarily exported for crushing into rapeseed oil and meal. SFERA LLC sources certified rapeseed with full quality analysis confirming oil content, moisture (≤9%), foreign matter, erucic acid content, and glucosinolate levels. Russia is an increasingly significant rapeseed exporter to the EU, China, and Pakistan.
