The mill, which was opened in 1996 through a joint venture between Sri Thai Foods and Beverages and Thai-Denmark Swine Breeding, is expected to return to operations in May 2018.
It will employ some 50 employees and produce 72,000 tonnes of feed per year for distribution to eastern and Northeastern Thailand. Cargill also has the option to expand the mill on the 10-hectare site depending on market growth.
“We are pleased Cargill has acquired the plant. We are confident it will be a prosperous business that will serve Thailand’s poultry and swine farmers well,” said Mr. Anan Jantaranukul, the feedmill’s managing director.
