Consumption upgrade spurs Cargill expansion

Cargill Inc, the Minnesota-based agricultural giant, plans to invest more in China's value-added oil, animal protein and beauty care sectors.

The decision comes in the wake of China's multiple measures to diversify the supply of quality products and services to drive its economic growth, Cargill executives said.

Cargill's first beauty care regional office for Asia-Pacific opened with the launch of an application lab in China in late February.
