Among the many ways to gauge the vitality
of grain-based foods, the willingness of its
companies to invest capital to modernize
or expand their operations stands as
particularly telling. Staying put in a business
is one thing, but devoting new resources
to projects requiring an adequate return on
investment is another matter.
With that as a backdrop, the current
issue of this publication merits careful
notice. While it should be admitted that
a comparison with each and every one of
the 4,820 preceding issues published since
1922 was not conducted, it is believed that
a new high-water mark for the number of
significant capital projects announced has
been set by this single week. Beginning
with ADM, Bartlett and ConAgra and
encompassing grain elevators, flour mills,
mix plants and bakeries, project after
project is described in different stages of
progress, in the pages that follow. Most
are accompanied by optimistic words from
executives about prospects for the projects
and the companies that are involved.
These announcements are in addition to
others related to acquisitions, new product
initiatives and various moves aimed at
achieving growth.
While these capital initiatives range from
a modest updating to major construction
projects, the grouping as a whole may only
be interpreted as a sign of great confidence
in the future of grain-based foods and a
recognition of the importance of keeping
apace with the rapid change under way in
the industry. MBN
