With over three decades of experience in starch and starch derivatives, this acquisition further strengthens RSGBL’s position in India’s starch industry by expanding its production capacity, geographic reach, and ability to cater to evolving customer requirements.
Speaking on the transaction, Dheeraj Talreja – vice president and managing director, Food South Asia, Cargill India said, “We wish RSGBL success and are confident that this asset will support their growth as they expand in the starch industry”.
