Alliance Grain Traders has a new agreement that will see Cargill sell its pulse proteins to the animal and pet feed industry.
Alliance’s U.S. subsidiary United Pulse Trading Inc. will be the exclusive supplier to Cargill in the five-year deal that covers North America.
AGT president Murad Al-Katib said he was excited that Cargill concurs with AGT on the potential opportunities for pulse ingredients, which will be produced at the company’s new processing plants, including one in Minot, North Dakota, set to begin commissioning late in the first quarter of 2013
“We have commented on a number of occasions that we are excited about the profile of pulses as ingredients for protein, fibre and starch, and many of our customers agree with us on this,” Al-Katib said.
