Cargill has taken a significant step in expanding its presence in India’s food industry by inaugurating a new corn milling plant in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, in collaboration with Saatvik Agro Processors. This facility is designed to meet the rising demand for starch derivatives, essential ingredients in confectionery, infant formula, and dairy products.
With India’s confectionery, dairy, and infant formula sectors collectively valued at $15 billion, and growing at an annual rate of 6-11%, the need for high-quality starch derivatives is increasing. These ingredients play a crucial role in improving the texture, viscosity, and stability of products like gummies, yogurt, processed cheese, and milk-based formulations.
Under a business arrangement with Saatvik Agro Processors, this plant will exclusively supply Cargill with 500 tons per day of starch derivatives, with the potential to scale up to 1,000 tons per day. The partnership brings together Cargill’s global expertise, market access, and customer network with Saatvik’s local manufacturing strength, ensuring a reliable supply of high-quality ingredients for food manufacturers across India.
Strategically positioned in North India, the facility allows Cargill to streamline its supply chain, reducing dependence on plants in the South. This leads to cost-effective logistics, shorter delivery timelines, and improved accessibility for food businesses in North, Central, and Western India.
Beyond catering to the domestic market, Cargill is also exploring potential export opportunities through this plant, further expanding its market reach.
At the plant’s inauguration, John Fering, Group President, Food APAC, Cargill, and Simon George, President Cargill India & Managing Director, Food South Asia, highlighted the initiative's strategic significance.
Simon George stated, "This Gwalior plant allows us to strengthen our manufacturing network in India, serving North and West India more efficiently while enhancing supply chain efficiencies. By increasing access to local production, we can reduce supply timelines, lower costs, and ensure a more stable supply of essential food solutions for our customers."
He further emphasized that this initiative reinforces Cargill’s commitment to industry growth, combining global expertise with India’s robust manufacturing sector. "Supporting Indian entrepreneurs and fostering innovation in food manufacturing allows us to create greater value for both customers and consumers," he added.
By aligning with the ‘Make in India’ vision, Cargill’s expansion in Gwalior not only strengthens its role in India’s food industry but also supports long-term sustainable growth for both businesses and consumers.
