Cargill has opened its new omega-3 research and development facility in Great Falls, Montana.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has deregulated Nuseed’s proprietary omega-3 canola for cultivation in the United States, an announcement welcomed by Nufarm Limited.

It further validates the safety and quality of the product and the regulatory progress being made in multiple jurisdictions.”
