What is the Significance of the Facilitys Integrated Nature Versus One that is Not?
The two are just not comparable. Integrated means that the biodiesel production is integrated with the soybean processing in one location. Louis Dreyfus Commodities buys locally produced soybeans for processing into two primary products: soybean meal and soybean oil. The soybean oil is further converted to biodiesel. The synergy achieved with this integration allows us to add more value to the soybean itself, control product quality in a unique way and provide a flexibility that is unmatched in the industry.
