UK to lose 250kt capacity as Cargill OSR plant set to shut

摘要

The closure of Cargill's Hull rapeseed crushing plant in December this year will take 200,000-250,000t of capacity out of the UK market. The company announced the closure late last week, blaming market conditions. Trade commentators suggested the plant needed investment and said it suffered from lack of proximity to a refinery.Cargill also owns the Liverpool rapeseed crush and refining sites, along with others in continental Europe.
