Founded in 1818, Bunge is a leading agribusiness and food company with integrated operations that circle the globe, stretching from the farm field to the retail shelf. The world is our market – six billion people and counting. Bunge's over 25,000 employees in over 30 countries are dedicated to improving the global agribusiness and food production chain.

Bunge Vietnam has commenced construction within the Phu My Port complex of a $100 million integrated soybean processing plant, the first of its kind in Vietnam. When fully completed, the facility will have soybean crushing and multi-oil refining/bottling capabilities. The first phase of the two-part project includes assembling a 3000-tons-per-day crushing line with related flat and vertical storage for raw materials and end products. These operations are scheduled to begin production in early 2011.

The new plant will be located on ten hectares within the Phu My 1 Industrial zone in the Tan Thanh district, approximately 70 kilometers southeast of Ho Chi Minh City on the Thi Vai River. The site is adjacent to the Baria Serece Phu My Port in which Bunge shares ownership. The rapidly developing area houses significant feed milling and oil refining operations that form the foundation of the plant's prospective customer base.
