farmers, many of whom have long-standing ties with LDC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also offer risk management and financing solutions to key grower groups, aiming to add value to local farmers, as we build our relationship with them as preferred business partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cotton is processed at growers\u2019 site of choice, from among LDC\u2019s 15 gins in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LDC also operates a vast network of warehouses and seed storage sites, both inland and at port locations, enabling the efficient movement of products &#8211; from gin to port, and from port to destination.<\/p>\n\n\n
