Cargill agreed to acquire soybean processor and refiner Owensboro Grain Company, expanding its oilseed crush capacity. The deal responds to rising demand for vegetable oils for renewable diesel and increasing soybean meal exports.
Added crush capacity increases soybean meal supply over time and reflects strong soybean oil demand from biofuels, a mixed signal for meal prices and a supportive one for oil.
