CHS expands soybean oil refining capacity at Mankato processing plant

Renovation driven by strong global demand in food and energy markets 

ST. 保罗,明尼苏达州. (September 07, 2021) - CHS., the nation’s leading agribusiness cooperative, today announced a major soybean refinery expansion and renovation project at the CHS Mankato, 明尼苏达州., soybean processing plant, driven by global oil demand. The more than $60 million project is the second phase of CHS investments to capitalize on changing market dynamics and opportunities to grow market access. When upgrades are completed, annual refined soybean oil production at the Mankato facility will increase by more than 35%. 

“Trends in global consumption of refined oils such as soy, 油菜, and palm remain strong, especially in the renewable diesel sector, with projected continued tightening of stocks,Tom Malecha说, CHS副总裁, 全球粮食 & 处理操作. “We’re seeing tremendous opportunities to maximize our farmer-owners’ investments in high-performing assets and infrastructure.” 

Groundwork for CHS strategic growth plans to participate in burgeoning oil markets began in October 2019, with a 24-month construction project at its Fairmont, 明尼苏达州., plant, which increased soybean crush capacity by 30%, and replaced outdated equipment.  

“We’re buying and crushing more local soybeans and transporting more crude oil to the Mankato plant for refining,Malecha说. “We’re looking forward to being able to process even more of farmers’ soybeans into value-added products, which are in high demand by global customers in several market segments.” 

Along with improvements to fully optimize soybean oil refining, related Mankato plant improvements include upgrading and expanding the entire refining process, and improving process flows to reduce operating costs. Project completion is expected in late summer 2023.
