Cargill in Ohio

Cargill's operations in Ohio are critical to both the state and the broader Midwest region. One of its largest facilities is the rock salt mine beneath Lake Erie near Cleveland, which has been operational for over 60 years and supplies de-icing salt for road safety during harsh winters.

Through its Animal Nutrition and Health division, Cargill produces specialized animal feed for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture, supporting local farmers in improving animal health and productivity. The company also plays a significant role in the food production supply chain, manufacturing ingredients like oils and sweeteners used by food processors and restaurants.

Cargill's commitment to sustainability and innovation is evident across its Ohio operations, as it works to reduce its environmental impact while enhancing farm productivity. Overall, Cargill is a key economic contributor in Ohio, providing jobs, supporting local agriculture, and ensuring a reliable supply of essential products.
