Cargill has entered the South Indian market with the introduction of Gemini Pureit, the top-ranked brand of quality sunflower oil in India. Customers in the four Southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu will be able to purchase the Gemini Pureit brand beginning this month at various retail locations. The Gemini brand is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. Consumer Voice recently ranked Gemini Sunflower Oil as the top brand in India for quality, out of 12 available brands.

The recently acquired facility in Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, which started operations in December of last year, will support the brand's expansion into South India. Cargill's edible oil footprint in southern India has grown significantly as a result of the US$35 million investment to acquire and upgrade the Nellore facility. Additionally, the company has strengthened its current supply chain to meet the increasing demand from customers.

The plant, which occupies 420000 square feet, has expanded Cargill's production capacity and enhanced its ability to provide consumers with sunflower oil, refined palm oil, palm olein, vanaspati, and bakery shortenings.
