The company also realised a $169m net gain from discontinued operations, which reflected the sale of the Brazilian poultry and pork business. That brought net earnings in the third quarter to $898m, compared with $326m in the same period a year ago.
In the first nine months of fiscal 2010, Cargill earned $1.91bn, compared with last year’s $3.01bn. Excluding earnings from Mosaic and from discontinued operations, Cargill’s nine-month results were close to the year-ago level.
