Overview
- Bunge announced the closure of its Campana industrial plant on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, a move that directly affects 110 employees at the site.
- The Campana facility produced ammonia and ammonium thiosulfate, chemicals used as inputs for fertilizer and other agricultural products, so the shutdown could tighten local supply chains for those customers.
- Bunge said an internal review found long-standing infrastructure and technology limits plus altered market conditions and input-supply changes made continued production untenable.
- The decision applies only to Campana’s industrial operations and does not end Bunge’s other Argentine activities; the plant’s operations included a 17.5% participation by the Asociación de Cooperativas Argentinas (ACA).
- Company statements say Bunge will meet labor obligations and keep investing in Argentina but they gave no firm timetable for final closure, worker reassignments, or the plant’s future while unions report larger counts of affected workers and seek urgent talks.
