Australian Oilseeds manufactures and sells cold-pressed edible oils and protein meals derived from non-GMO, chemical-free oilseeds. The company operates a single cold-pressing facility in Cootamundra, New South Wales, which it claims is the largest of its kind in Australia. Cold pressing grinds seeds below 50°C without chemical solvents, which the company argues preserves nutrients and omega fatty acids, allowing it to charge a premium over conventionally processed oils. Edible oils — sold under the "Good Earth Oils" brand and including canola, sunflower, safflower, soybean, linseed, and olive varieties — account for roughly 74% of revenue. Protein meals, a co-product of the cold-pressing process sold primarily as animal feed, account for the remaining 26%. Because protein meals are generated automatically alongside oil, incremental meal revenue largely falls to the bottom line. Australian Oilseeds sources oilseeds from local New South Wales farmers under contract farming agreements that lock in supply at predetermined prices. The company sells through distributors into Australian retail and select export markets including New Zealand, Japan, and the United States. Australian Oilseeds is expanding processing capacity from 33,000 to 70,000 metric tons per annum, targeting Asia-Pacific export growth, and exploring the plant-based proteins market using its protein meal by-product.
