Bunge to market fertilizer in North America
Date:07-24-2008
A newly created business unit of St. Louis, Missouri, US-based Bunge North America – the North American operating arm of Bunge Ltd. – will distribute and market domestically and internationally sourced fertilizer products to North American dealers and co-operatives. Olavo Dietzsch has been named to lead the new unit.
"Because of Bunge's strong connections to the agriculture community and our efficient logistics network in North America, marketing and transporting fertilizer ingredients is a good complement to our existing operations," said Carl Hausmann, president and CEO, Bunge North America. "Bunge also is the leading producer of fertilizer in South America so our North American team will be able to build on Bunge's existing knowledge and global relationships as we develop our business here."
