Our Strengths in Grains & Oilseeds
LDC Colombia holds a leading position in the import and local marketing of crude and refined soybean oil from several different origins.
We import approximately 10% of Colombia’s vegetable oil, supplying customers along the Atlantic coast through the Barranquilla and Cartagena ports, and on the Pacific coast through the Buenaventura port.
Additionally, we process crude vegetable oil in Colombia refineries to supply refined soybean oil to the home market.
We also import corn and wheat from the US, Brazil and Argentina. We sell these grains products to local mills and pasta factories.
Committed to Sustainability
In addition to our strong merchandizing capabilities, growing product portfolio and reputation for reliability and integrity, our leading position in grains and oilseeds is also connected with our commitment to responsible sourcing, traceable supply chains and sustainable business practices globally.
Increasing traceability in our soy operations is central to our sustainability efforts, to encourage responsible land use and non-conversion of native vegetation for soy cultivation.
