This investment marks another important milestone in LDC\u2019s strategy to further reinforce its core merchandizing activities \u2013 in this case, through further cotton value chain integration in Argentina, from farm to port, consolidating its position as one of the country\u2019s leading cotton merchants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur investment in Z\u00e1rate logistics center is a concrete demonstration of LDC\u2019s long-term commitment to the development of Argentina\u2019s cotton sector and of our growth strategy in the country, where we continue to invest in key infrastructure with a goal to be closer to producers, optimize our operations and support the global competitiveness of Argentine cotton,\u201d said Juan Jos\u00e9 Blanchard, LDC\u2019s Group COO and Head of Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Strategically located near the Port of Buenos Aires, and covering a total area of 20,000 m\u00b2, including 5,300 m\u00b2 of covered space, a classing room and four electric forklifts, this newly enhanced center is also authorized for on-site container consolidation operations \u2013 a unique advantage in Argentina\u2019s cotton sector. At the site, LDC receives cotton lint from its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ldc.com\/ar\/en\/press-releases\/louis-dreyfus-company-inaugurates-cotton-ginning-plant-expansion-in-quimili-argentina\/\">ginning plant in Quimil\u00ed<\/a>, Santiago del Estero Province, as well as from the country\u2019s main cotton-producing provinces. The lint is classified and stored in a covered and monitored area, until its dispatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new center is designed to handle the unloading and dispatch of up to 800 tons of cotton lint daily, both for the domestic market and for export. This capability enables LDC to operate its own export logistics and domestic market dispatch in the country, contributing to a 30% reduction in unloading and dispatch <a>times,<\/a> during local cotton logistics operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cZ\u00e1rate logistics center represents an important additional step in strengthening our operational network in Argentina, in particular thanks to the on-site consolidation regime that allows us to offer customers faster and more efficient services, while expanding regional producers\u2019 access to international markets,\u201d said Pablo Yezdrich, Regional Head of Cotton for South &amp; West Latin America at LDC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">###<strong><br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Louis Dreyfus Company<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Louis Dreyfus Company is a leading merchant and processor of agricultural goods, founded in 1851.
