Buenos Aires, Argentina<\/strong>, <\/em>May 30, 2024 – Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) inaugurated today the expansion of its cotton ginning plant in Quimil\u00ed, Santiago del Estero province, Argentina. The event was held in the presence of national, provincial and municipal authorities, members of the local farming community, as well as LDC management representatives and employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This investment is another positive step in the growth strategy of LDC’s cotton business, through which we continue to expand our origination capacity in this key producing region,\u201d said Juan Jos\u00e9 Blanchard, LDC\u2019s Group COO and Head of Latin America. \u201cWe work closely with producers to bring quality, sustainably grown Argentine cotton to global destinations, helping to meet growing demand in expanding domestic and export markets.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur continued investment in Quimil\u00ed represents LDC’s commitment to increasing both the quality and capacity of our ginning services, while facilitating access to local and global markets for regional producers,\u201d said Pablo Yezdrich, LDC\u2019s Regional Head of Cotton for South & West Latin America. \u201cIn the decade LDC has been operating the facility, we have transformed the plant\u2019s profile by producing not only cotton fiber but also by-products such as cottonseed, gin mote and cotton gin waste, while prioritizing operational safety and sustainability.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investments in the plant include new technology and infrastructure to optimize ginning services, double storage capacity and increase annual processing capacity to 60,000 tons. The improvements will also allow utilization of 100% of seed cotton (raw material), including its by-products as feed and biomass, thereby minimizing waste generation in line with LDC\u2019s global sustainability efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expansion works inaugurated, which coincide with the start of the plant\u2019s 10th<\/sup> cotton season under LDC management, also include the incorporation of a new state-of-the-art automatic press, a new pre-cleaning line, new offices, a grading room, an infirmary and first aid room, night-time lighting towers, improved fire prevention system and infrastructure, and atmospheric protection equipment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
