Our Strengths in the US<\/h2>\n

The North American agricultural sector is one of the most advanced in the world, transformed by technology, highly capitalized and well-integrated between commodities.<\/p>\n

The US is a highly developed and integrated region for LDC, where we have strong origination, processing and logistic capabilities that support our position as a market leader in all our main business lines in the region: Coffee, Cotton, Food & Feed Solutions, Juice and Grains & Oilseeds.<\/p>\n

LDC is one of the world\u2019s leading exporters of wheat, corn, oilseeds and cotton in the US, a dynamic and essential market for agricultural commodities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Our Strategy<\/h2>\n

Our recent activity in the US exemplifies LDC\u2019s strategy of moving down\u00a0the value chain to consumers, diversifying revenue through value-added products.<\/p>\n

Over recent years, we have broadened our product portfolio to produce and market ethanol, biodiesel and glycerin.<\/p>\n

In 2019 we participated in the financing of\u00a0Motif FoodWorks<\/em><\/a>, a Ginkgo Bioworks food ingredients venture that will develop and offer innovative alternative proteins and other sustainable ingredients for plant-based food developers.\u00a0This move is part\u00a0of LDC\u2019s strategy to invest in solutions that could address consumer demand and help to feed a growing world population\u00a0sustainably.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
