Yield10 expects to scale-up planted acres of Camelina to supply BioMar with oil for formulation and testing while also working towards securing regulatory approval for commercial production of Omega-3 Camelina oil and meal in the targeted production geographies. Producing omega-3 oil in Camelina represents a land-based way to make this key aquafeed ingredient, a crucial step as the aquaculture industry faces obstacles of overfishing. These new Omega-3 Camelina products contain EPA and DHA at levels comparable to many of the marine oil sources utilized today.
