Industrial plant located in Paranava\u00ed-PR will add more than 20 thousand tons to the company\u2019s annual juice output<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louis Dreyfus Commodities (LDC) has just announced the acquisition of an orange juice plant from Cocamar, an agroindustrial cooperative \u2013 located in Paranava\u00ed, in the state of Paran\u00e1. With this transaction, Louis Dreyfus Commodities will add more than 20 thousand tons in juice concentrate to its annual output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the company\u2019s share of the domestic juice market will rise from 17% to 19% and expand its operations to another Brazilian state. To date, all of the company\u2019s juice processing plants were located within Sao Paulo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis acquisition reflects LDC\u2019s goal of further consolidating its position as one of the major players in the Brazilian orange juice market. Within this context, its participation in Parana is strategic. Citrus farming is well developed throughout the state and the region offers great potential for expansion,\u201d said Brazil Juice Platform head in Brazil, Henrique Freitas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The executive pointed out that over the past five years, the company has registered 21% annual growth in the volume of oranges processed. \u201cLast season alone (2011-2012) we saw a 77% jump in fruit processing compared with the previous season (2010-2011).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recently acquired unit has 100 employees and was built by Cocamar in 1990. It began processing orange juice in 1994. We intend to maintain contracts with local fruit suppliers, who are members of the Cocamar cooperative and who we have worked with for many years on other business platforms as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louis Dreyfus Commodities is a global agri-commodities leader. The Group\u2019s portfolio includes Oilseeds, Grains, Rice, Freight, Finance, Juice, Cotton, Coffee, Sugar, Metals, Milk, Fertilizers and Sugar and Ethanol mills businesses.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
