Since the late 1960s to the present date, plant breeders have diligently selected rapeseed to minimize or eliminate the erucic acid from the oil and glucosinolates from the meal. Much of the recent expansion in the rapeseed industry in Canada and Europe is attributable to the dramatic improvements in the quality of oil and meal over the past 20 years. Another important factor is the wide adaptability of different types of rapeseed to different environments and their ability to thrive in harsh climates. In Canada and Europe most rapeseed is grown north of the 45° parallel. However, in China and India production is comparatively close to the equator, approximately 25°-40°N. This combination of improved quality and wide adaptability makes the crop very attractive to many developed and developing countries which are otherwise deficient in edible oil and in high protein meal.
