OPENING LINES MAYOR WELCOMES CARGILL TAKEOVER Source: arr.news, Naski Swami, First Published June 19, 2025 Naracoorte Lucindale mayor Patrick Ross has expressed support for the recent acquisition of Teys Australia by US-based food and protein powerhouse Cargill. Given that a significant portion of the local workforce is employed at the Teys facility in Naracoorte, mayor Ross emphasised that the longstanding partnership between Teys—and now Cargill—and the community would continue to thrive. He also reaffirmed the council’s commitment to collaborating with Cargill to maintain a safe and inclusive community where employees could comfortably live and raise their families. “I received notification via official letter that TEYS Australia had sold their share of the company to Cargill,” he said. “Cargill employs over 160,000 people worldwide, and it is because of their people that they can carry on their business.” Mayor Ross said beef processing had been happening at Naracoorte for many decades now and has had several owners over that period. 7 BUSINESS VIEW OCEANIA VOLUME 07, ISSUE 06
