Cargill Building Soybean Processing Facility in Missouri

Cargillhas unveiled plans to build a new soybean processing facility located in Pemiscot County, Missouri, near Hayti and Caruthersville to support growing domestic and global demand for oilseeds driven by food, feed and fuel markets.

The facility will be the first of its kind for southeast Missouri with an annual production capacity of 62 million bushels of soybeans.

Cargill anticipates breaking ground on the project early next year with plans to be operational in 2026.

The new facility will add approximately 45 full-time positions to the region when complete.

Year-round access for farmers to grain markets

“嘉吉的新设施，其位置在密西西比河，将全年运营，并为农民提供机会利用国内需求增加而不是依靠季节性出口。”Tim Coppage, regional commercial lead,Cargill Agricultural Supply Chain North America.

“Access to both river and rail will provide more flexibility and market access for farmers.”

密苏里州长迈克·基霍（Mike Kehoe）表示，密苏里目前在美国的大豆生产中排名第六。

Kehoe说：“新工厂的位置将扩大密苏里农业的940亿美元经济影响，我们州的顶级行业加速了经济发展并增强了Bootheel的劳动力机会。”

New facility expands soybean capcacity

The new location expands Cargill’s efforts to modernize and increase capacity across its North American oilseeds network.

Last year, Cargillannounceda series of projects across North America including significant improvements to its soybean crush facility in Sidney, OH, and construction of anew canola processing facility在Regina，SK。

Cargill has had a presence in Missouri since 1936 and currently operates across 11 locations in the state and employees nearly 1,200 people.

密苏里大豆首席执行官加里·惠勒（Gary Wheeler）兼执行董事说，佩米斯科特县（Pemiscot County）的大豆粉碎设施的新建造将对密苏里州东南部的农民产生直接影响。

"n an effort to increase opportunities for our growers, Missouri Soybeans has been working collaboratively with several partners for more than two years to achieve this lofty goal and create a needed market for their soybeans," said Wheeler.

"Born and raised in the Bootheel, I know firsthand this is a great opportunity for our soybean farmers and local community.”
