Cargill calls time on Missouri shortening plant
Agrogiant Cargill will close its Carthage, Mo. shortening facility in December 2008, with production to be moved to its Charlotte, NC facility.
“We made every effort to make the plant profitable and keep it in the community, but ultimately could not continue to operate it at a financial loss,” said Mike Venker, president, Cargill Dressings, Sauces & Oils.
