Farmland Industries has said that its pork plants are operating
normally on the first working day after the largest US farm
co-operative filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Farmland Industries, the largest US farmer-owned cooperative, has
filed for bankruptcy protection, unable to meet demands for
immediate debt payments amid a slumping farm economy.
In the US, farmer-owned Farmland Industries and subsidiary Farmland
Foods have announced plans to rebuild their pork processing plant
located in Albert Lee, Minnesota.
