Overview
- The over US$20 million expansion was inaugurated in Santa Fe with Karina Milei, Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni and Chamber of Deputies president Martín Menem in attendance.
- The new line targets camelina, carinata, canola, sunflower and soy to produce meal for feed and oils for advanced biofuels such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).
- Adorni credited policy changes for stronger output, vowed continued tax reductions and said export duties known as retenciones "have to end."
- Officials linked the investment to the Paraná–Paraguay waterway licitation, saying the upgrades would allow larger ships to sail at full load and lower logistics costs.
- LDC highlighted the plant’s 20th year, noting enhanced year‑round flexibility alongside capacity to mill over 2.5 million tonnes annually, ship more than 4 million tonnes and employ 241 people.
