Bunge North America and Twin Rivers Technologies Enterprises de Transformation de Graines Oleagineuses du Quebec Inc. (TRT-ETGO) have formed a joint venture - Bunge ETGO. It will combine the commercial activities related to the crushing and refining operations of Bunge's Hamilton, Ont. plant and TRT-ETGO's Becancour, Que. plant.
