Midwest Agri-Commodities

Company History: Headquartered in San Rafael, California, Midwest Agri-Commodities Company (Midwest Agri) was formed in 1979 by Minn-Dak Farmers Cooperative (MDFC). Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative (SMBSC) joined with MDFC later that same year. American Crystal Sugar Company (ACSC) joined the partnership three years later, adding the production of its five factories to Midwest Agri’s available inventory. In 2002, Michigan Sugar Company (MSC), along with its four factories, became Midwest Agri’s fourth member company. With MSC’s purchase of Monitor Sugar, ACSC’s purchase of Sidney Sugar, and SMBSC’s purchase of Spreckels sugar beet plants, Midwest Agri has become a major global supplier of sugar beet pulp and liquids.
