Riverina Oils

What Riverina Oils does

Riverina Oils is a privately-held, vertically integrated bulk canola oil supplier established in 2013 and headquartered at its crushing and refining facility in Wagga Wagga, in the Riverina agricultural region of New South Wales, Australia. The company sources 100% of its canola seed from local Riverina-region growers through a Seed Merchant network and grower events, then crushs and refines up to 200,000 tonnes of seed annually into bulk canola oil, canola meal, and a specialty foodservice oil. Its product portfolio is supported by certifications including Non-GMO Project Verified, Halal, SQF, SGS, and Kosher, which enable access to domestic bulk buyers, Australian foodservice operators, and international export channels.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led, with a dedicated Oils Sales Team for domestic and export buyers and a Seed Merchant function for grower relationships. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Riverina Oils operates a wholly-owned US subsidiary, Riverina Natural Oils, which distributes Australian Non-GMO canola oil into the United States and Canada, targeting markets where over 90% of canola is genetically modified. The company also maintains a New Zealand office to support Australasia distribution. Operational expansion in recent years includes a 2024 transition to solar-powered facility operations, a $100,000 four-year scholarship commitment to Charles Sturt University including a First Nations Agricultural Initiative, and ongoing quarterly Grower's Day programming in partnership with firms such as Hanlon Enterprises.

The business is fundamentally a commodity-processing operation; its strategic differentiators are provenance (100% Australian grown), certifications (particularly Non-GMO), distribution access via proximity to Sydney and Melbourne export ports, and vertically integrated supply from grower to finished product. The company employs 51-100 people and has been recognized regionally with the 2022 Golden Crow Employer of Choice award and as a finalist in three categories at the 2022 Business NSW Murray-Riverina Regional Business Awards. No external investors, parent company, or public listing are disclosed.
