Cargill Inc.

Cargill Inc. will invest $200 million in Argentina over the next two years, in part to build a new soy processing plant and port. The new plant will have a daily crushing capacity of 13,000 tonnes and will be located in Villa Gobernador Galvez, south of Rosario, Argentina's main grain exporting port. Cargill also plans to build a new port of its own. "These investments reflect the importance Cargill gives to Argentina's oilseed industry and to the role of our country ... in responding to growing world demand for food products," says Hector Marsili, president of Argentina-based Cargill SA.
