US agribusiness giant Cargill is to invest US$15.8m in the expansion of its case-ready meat facility in Marshall, Missouri.
The investment will include the addition of a new production line for its value-added food products. The move is expected to create around 50 jobs, the company said.

The investment is the second for the Marshall facility in the last year. In September, Cargill added a production line for its ready-to-cook beef, pork and chicken items.
“We are thrilled to be expanding our food production capabilities at our case-ready meat processing plant in Marshall,” said Jody Horner, president of Cargill’s North American case-ready meat business based in Wichita, Kan. “This is an excellent example of public-private collaboration that generates the type of investment to expand business, add jobs and grow the state’s economy.”
