I-Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM) izovala unomphela indawo yayo yokucubungula ubhontshisi wesoya eKershaw, eSouth Carolina ngokuhamba kwesikhathi kule ntwasahlobo, njengengxenye yesu elibanzi lokuhlehlisa ukusebenza nokunciphisa izindleko, ngokusho kweReuters.

Lesi sinqumo silandela isimemezelo sika-ADM sangaphambilini esichaza ngezinhlelo zokunciphisa izindleko zika-$500 million kule minyaka emihlanu ezayo. Njengengxenye yalokhu kuhlelwa kabusha, inkampani ibinciphisa imisebenzi ethile futhi yehlisa nabasebenzi bayo. NgoMashi, i-ADM iphinde yaqalisa ukuncishiswa kwemisebenzi esigabeni sayo esikhulu kunazo zonke: ukuhweba okusanhlamvu kanye nokugaywa kwembewu kawoyela.

Muva nje, ibhizinisi lithuthele ukuvala imisebenzi yalo yokuhweba yasekhaya e-China, isinyathelo esibangele ukudilizwa okwengeziwe emayunithi alo amabili amakhulu ebhizinisi: I-Ag Services kanye ne-Oilseeds.

"Ngemuva kokuhlola izinhlobonhlobo zezinye izindlela, sinqume ukuthi i-Kershaw crush plant yethu ayisahambisani nezidingo zethu zokusebenza zesikhathi esizayo," kusho okhulumela i-ADM uDane Lisser etshela abeReuters.
