Oilseeds

Leading supplier

The Oilseeds Platform supplies the domestic market with more than eight million metric tons of soybeans annually, mainly sourced from the United States and South America. We are also a leading supplier of vegetable oils to China, which we source from a diverse asset base.

Our activities in China

The Oilseeds Platform in China operates four soybean crushing facilities, supplying soybean meal, soybean oil and by products to key consumption markets. Soybean meal is supplied to both major and local feed mill groups that produce animal feed, while soybean oil is supplied to major refiners and bottlers for both food production and industrial processes. We work closely with all customers sharing information and providing after-sales services.

Growth expected

Driven by strong domestic demand, China is the anchor destination and growth market for our global Oilseeds business. As robust demand and supply is set to continue, LDC is fully committed to remain a significant player in the Chinese market where we continue to invest and grow for the future, supported by a top quality team.
