Our sites there have access to a capable workforce, close proximity to many of our key raw materials, many of which are grown in Missouri including rice, popcorn and cornmeal, and good transportation access to serve our customers throughout the U.S. and other parts of the world. The State has also helped us identify and explore new international markets for our products. We appreciate the support that Missouri gives its existing agribusiness partners."
