Thirteen seed companies, processors and researchers of camelina have formed the first trade association focused on production and processing of the biofuel feedstock in North America.The North American Camelina Trade Association (NACTA) will work to promote research, production and the development of new markets for the relatively new energy crop.
Camelina sativa, also known as gold of pleasure or false flax, is a member of the mustard family and a distant relative to canola. It is a fast-growing, short-seasoned crop that requires less water and fewer inputs than many crops. Its high oil content and other properties make it a good fit for biodiesel production, and interest in the crop has grown significantly in recent years.The formation of the North American Camelina Trade Association is another important step in building a strong, sustainable foundation for camelina production in the U.S. and Canada.
