ADM確認春季關閉南卡羅來納州大豆加工廠

芝加哥報道——穀物貿易商Archer-Daniels-Midland(ADM)週一向路透確認,將於今春永久關閉位於南卡羅來納州Kershaw的大豆加工廠,此舉屬於公司早前宣布的削減成本及業務整合計劃的一部分。

ADM自今年二月宣布計劃在三至五年內削減5億至7億美元成本以來,已開始裁員及縮減部分業務。公司發言人Dane Lisser表示:「經過多方評估,我們認為Kershaw的壓榨廠已不再符合未來的營運需求。」

去年ADM爆發會計醜聞,導致股價大幅下跌,現時又面臨美國與包括最大大豆進口國中國在內的主要市場貿易緊張局勢帶來的嚴峻挑戰。

據業內人士透露,Kershaw廠是美國首個在經歷多年大豆加工廠擴建熱潮後關閉的設施。此前,由於生物燃料製造商對植物油需求激增,相關產能大幅擴張。但近來美國生物燃料政策不明朗以及貿易戰升溫的風險,令生物燃料產業開始縮減產量。

Kershaw廠是ADM在美國運營的十多家專門大豆加工廠中規模最小的,每日壓榨能力約為五萬蒲式耳。ADM表示,將協助該廠員工尋找新工作,並為選擇離職的員工提供遣散費,但未透露具體受影響員工人數。根據南卡羅來納州商務部數據,Kershaw工廠員工人數介乎11至50人。

ADM:這家老牌巨頭正面對新挑戰?

評論與分析:

ADM作為全球穀物及農產品加工巨頭,多年來一直是行業的領頭羊,但此次關閉Kershaw大豆加工廠,凸顯了其面對的多重挑戰。從宏觀角度看,美中貿易摩擦對大豆出口造成實質影響,尤其是中國作為最大進口國,其需求變化直接牽動美國大豆產業鏈的健康。此外,生物燃料市場的不確定性和政策搖擺,令植物油需求波動,進一步壓縮了加工企業的利潤空間。

從微觀層面,ADM此舉反映了其戰略調整,聚焦更具規模效益的設施,以應對成本壓力和市場變化。這同時也透露出整個大豆加工產業可能正進入一個整合期,過去幾年快速擴張後的產能過剩,需要透過收縮和優化來恢復平衡。

對香港及亞洲市場的投資者來說,ADM的動向值得關注。它不僅是農產品供應鏈的重要節點,還與全球糧食安全及能源轉型息息相關。未來,如何在政策變動和市場需求間找到穩定增長點,將是ADM乃至整個產業鏈必須面對的課題。

投資者應該從更長遠和多元的角度審視這類企業,除了關注短期股價波動,更要洞悉其經營策略調整背後的行業趨勢和全球經濟環境變化。ADM此次關廠事件,或許正是全球農業產業鏈進入新階段的信號。

The overall color palette is monochromatic, emphasizing blacks and whites to create a timeless, sophisticated mood. The composition is carefully balanced, capturing her from the waist up in a slightly angled pose that accentuates her curves and confidence.
