Timbúes Approves Molinos Agro’s $800 Million Port-Industrial Proposal

The company says the investment remains under evaluation, with permits and financing still pending.

Overview

  • Molinos Agro won local approval in Timbúes for an anteproyecto to build a port‑industrial complex on Paraná River land it bought from Nutrien in 2024.
  • The comuna says the full build‑out would be the world’s largest oilseed‑milling site, with projected throughput near 1.2 million tons per month.
  • The plan details up to three milling lines totaling about 45,000 tons per day, storage near 1 million tons, two oceangoing berths, a barge dock, a 55‑MW power plant, and water treatment.
  • The ordinance sets local commitments that include at least 350 direct jobs in operations, upgrades to nearby roads, a US$1.1 million payment for adjacent public land, and a US$100,000 donation to local schools.
  • Company sources say the investment is not confirmed and will proceed only after national and provincial permits, full feasibility work, and financing.
