The goal is to strengthen and diversify the company’s pectin portfolio to meet the global demand for this input, which has a growth rate of about 3 to 4% per year. Cargill currently has three other factories producing a wide range of pectin in Europe (Germany, France, and Italy).

Currently, Cargill employs 500 workers, but the company anticipates that at the peak of construction, 700 people will be engaged on-site. According to the company, the next steps include completing the construction and will generate about 100 direct jobs in the region.

“In a few months, our factory will be operating with the firm commitment to deliver this strategic project to Cargill on schedule, within budget, and with all safety metrics. Our production will serve not only the local market but also the global market, with increasing consumer demand for more natural products, particularly from the Asian market”, says Laerte Moraes, Cargill’s Director of Starch, Sweeteners, and Texturizers in South America.

About HM Pectin

HM pectin is widely used in the food industry for dairy beverages, juices, fruit candies, and is responsible for acting as a stabilizer, thickener, and gelling agent.

Brazil was chosen to host the factory, among other factors, because it has an abundant supply of citrus fruits.
