摘要

The ratings of US agribusiness companies are likely to remain-stable in 2009 due to their well-diversified product lines and geographic footprints,according to the international ratings agency Fitch.In the near-term,according to Fitch,agribusiness companies should benefit from being able to store,transport,and process the large US crops from this year's harvest.Another bumper crop of corn and soybeans is needed in 2009 to replenish stocks,which are still low.
