Brazil, S\u00e3o Paulo<\/strong>, March 21, 2022 – Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC), a leading global merchant and processor of agricultural goods, announced today the construction of new orange juice storage tanks in the city of Mat\u00e3o, located in Brazil\u2019s largest citrus producing region, in the state of S\u00e3o Paulo. The project aims to increase the company\u2019s production and storage capacity for not-from-concentrate (NFC) orange juice, a product with high added value for the consumer market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new investment in Mat\u00e3o, where LDC operates since 1988, will bring NFC storage capacity at the site to 30 million liters, and annual juice production capacity to 300 million liters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIncreasing production and storage capacity for NFC will allow us to meet growing consumer demand for this high value-added product, especially in Europe, while reinforcing our position among the top three global processors and merchandizers of orange juice,\u201d said Juan Jos\u00e9 Blanchard, Head of the LDC\u2019s Juice Platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project is the second phase in LDC’s plans to expand commercialization of NFC in Europe, North America and Asia. In 2020, the company announced a new, dedicated fleet for juice transportation that reduces fuel consumption by 40% and sulfur emission levels by 85% per ton of product. LDC also increased storage capacity by more than 50%, and blending capacity by more than 20%, at its port terminal and processing facility in Ghent, Belgium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazil is the world\u2019s largest exporter of orange juice, a business in which LDC has been active for over 30 years. The company’s operations in the country are fully integrated, comprising more than 25,000 hectares of sustainably grown citrus groves – strategically located in Brazil’s citrus belt – as well as three citrus juice processing plants and an export terminal in the Port of Santos (S\u00e3o Paulo state).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis project also reinforces the company’s commitment to long-term investment in Brazil, a key origination market for over 80 years,\u201d added Jorge Costa, Global Operations Director for LDC\u2019s Juice Platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new storage tanks are expected to be operational by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
