Cargill Starches & Sweeteners Asia

Cargill Starches & Sweeteners Asia is headquartered in Shanghai, China. Its products are sold directly to domestic customers through local sales teams or exported to other Asian countries through a trading desk in Singapore. 

A corn milling joint venture located in Song Yuan, Jilin province of China produces native starch, modified starch, dextrose, glucose, and spray-dried products. Another joint venture in Shanghai supplies high fructose 42 to domestic and multinational food and beverage companies. 

The business launched a tapioca starch product line in 2006 through the acquisition of a tapioca plant in Thailand. 

Two additional plants were recently constructed to produce high fructose 55 primarily for cola bottlers in the northern and eastern regions of China. 

A modified starch facility was completed in Nantong City in 2008 to serve customers in China's paper industry.
