LDC has a long history in the marketing of Argentine agricultural products, with a presence in the country for over 120 years. Active in cotton, grains, and oilseeds, we have a fully integrated supply chain in the country’s main production areas.
Our Operations
LDC began operating in Argentina in 1897 and has grown to become one of the country’s largest companies.
We currently market grains, cotton, oilseeds, fertilizers, agrochemicals, and seeds, and offer financial and logistics solutions to Argentine producers, supported by an extensive network of strategically located assets and ports, as well as a highly qualified sales team.
In 2005, we strengthened our presence in the country’s main agricultural regions to improve soybean origination for our processing plants in Santa Fe and to reach out to local farmers.
We directly employ more than 1,300 people in Argentina and generate thousands more indirect jobs throughout the country.

Since 2004, we have invested in port infrastructure, logistics, and industrial assets, and now have a network of warehousing assets across 19 locations.
