WASHINGTON, D.C. NFU
has urged a federal judge to
reject a proposed agreement
that would allow grain giant
Cargill, Inc. to purchase a com
petitor Continental Grain, Co.
NFU said the deal would
adversely impact net farm
income.
The judge is reviewing an
agreement between the Justice
Department and Cargill that
would allow the merger if a
number of divestitures are
made. The judge has to deter
mine whether the deal is in the
public interest.
In comments filed recently,
NFU said even with proposed
divestitures the deal will signifi
cantly erode competition for
farmers selling their grain, mak
ing it nearly impossible to earn a
fair price. Cargill is the second
largest grain trader in North

NFU Submits Comments On
Cargill-Continental
America and largest grain
exporter and Continental is the
third-largest grain trader and
exporter.
“Even with the divestitures,
the deal is still too large to avoid
having a chilling effect on mar
ket competition for producers
selling grain.” said NFU
President Leland Swenson.
“This merger cannot be in the
public interest because there is
no way it will increase competi
tion to either farmers or ranch
ers or the general public. It must
be stopped.”
NFU also said the mandated
divestitures would be difficult to
enforce. “There is not guarantee
a buyer can be found for these
divestitures. Moreover, there is
no guarantee a buyer will be in a
position to compete with a farm
the size of Cargill,” Swenson
stated. “There are no safeguards
for competition."
Merger
Cargill and Continental col
lectively control roughly 40 per
cent of all U.S. grain exports.
Lack of competition in the
export market affects producers
because they depend heavily on
export sales and because the
domestic market is influenced
by the world price. The Cargill-
Continental merger will only
exacerbate these problems, NFU
noted.
