Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) has opened a new grain storage facility in Multan, Pakistan, marking its first owned industrial site in the country. This expansion adds approximately 40,000 metric tons of storage capacity in South Punjab, bolstering the company's logistics footprint in Pakistan. Pakistan, one of South Asia's major agricultural markets, is among the world's biggest producers and consumers of wheat.
Demand for grains in the country is driven by a burgeoning population of over 250 million. Since entering the Pakistani market in 2010, LDC has established a strong presence in various agricultural sectors, including cotton, grains, oilseeds, pulses, rice, and sugar. Rubens Marques, LDC's Head of South & Southeast Asia, emphasized the significance of Pakistan as a key market for grains and a vital destination for LDC in South Asia, where rising populations and economies depend on robust agricultural supply chains and trade.
LDC's Head of Grains & Oilseeds for Pakistan, Muhammad Danyal, highlighted that Pakistan's fertile agricultural base and expanding grain demand present ample opportunities for the company. He added that investing in logistics infrastructure enhances LDC's service to both suppliers and customers, fostering efficient and resilient supply chains while contributing to local job creation as the country's grains sector continues to grow.
