Cargill has appointed Martin Schuldt as its new country representative in Romania. Schuldt has been living and working in Romania since 2005 and currently leads the company's grain and oilseeds operations in the country. He takes over the role of Romanian country representative from Nese Tagma, who has taken up a new position based in Belgium to manage Cargill's European bottled oils operations.

Since commencing our grain and oilseed business here in 1996, we have made significant investments in grain silos, vegetable oil refining and bottling and animal nutrition production. We believe that we play an important role in contributing to Romanian agriculture and in helping open up new markets for local farmers," said Schuldt. Cargill has been active in Romania since 1996.
