ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, U.S. — CHS Inc. announced on Nov. 7 that it has opened an ofﬁce in Seoul, South Korea, intended to strengthen business with that nation’s growing customer base. “Korea is an important, strategic demand base for corn, soybeans, wheat and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS),” says Brian Schouvieller, CHS vice-president of international business. “CHS has done business in Korea for many years.

ADM to build biodiesel plant in Canada
DECATUR, ILLINOIS, U.S. — Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) announced on Nov. 14 that it will build a 265-million-liter (70-million-gallon) biodiesel plant in Lloydminster, Alberta, Canada, which will increase ADM’s North American biodiesel production capacity by 50%. The biodiesel plant will be located adjacent to the company’s existing canola crushing facility in Lloydminster, which will help optimize ADM’s agricultural origination, transportation and processing assets in Canada. “The same agricultural processing operations we use to transform canola into oil for food and meal for animal feed also provide ADM with the ability and scale to efﬁciently produce cleaner-burning, renewable biodiesel,” said Mike Livergood, ADM vice-president, global oleo chemicals. “This new biodiesel facility will help support canola crush margins and capacity utilization at this facility.” Biodiesel produced at ADM’s facility in Lloydminster will help fulﬁll Canada’s renewable diesel mandate. Since July 1, all diesel fuel and heating oil sold in Canada must contain at least 2% biodiesel. Construction on the facility will commence in spring 2012 and be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013. In March, ADM announced plans to double the canola seed receiving capabilities and storage capacity at the Lloydminster facility.
