Oct 21 (Reuters)World commodities dealer and oilseed processor Bunge Ltd BG.N mentioned on Wednesday that operations have been halted at its San Lorenzo, Terminal 6, soy crushing facility in Argentina, after an “incident” late Tuesday.

“No staff have been injured and the state of affairs is beneath management. We shall be conducting an in depth investigation of the incident to find out the trigger and after we can anticipate to soundly resume operations,” the corporate mentioned in an emailed assertion.

The ability is a three way partnership with Aceitera Basic Deheza SA.

Argentina is the world’s prime exporter of soymeal livestock feed, used to fatten hogs, cattle and poultry from Europe to Southeast Asia. It is usually a significant provider of uncooked soybeans.

“Nobody was injured and the port is now operative. Repairs are being made on the crushing plant the place the explosion happened,” mentioned a neighborhood business supply who requested to not be named.
