Cargill has confirmed it will reduce positions at its Minnesota offices as part of a broader global workforce restructuring plan. The move will affect approximately 80 corporate employees in the state, with additional reductions expected across its worldwide operations.
According to company officials, the changes are focused on streamlining internal operations, reducing duplication in support functions, and improving long-term efficiency across business units. The layoffs are not expected to impact plant or production roles.
Cargill employs more than 150,000 people globally and maintains significant involvement in animal nutrition, feed, and protein production — including pork and poultry. While the job cuts target corporate and administrative areas, the company emphasized its continued commitment to core production and processing operations.
For pork producers and industry partners, the move reflects ongoing adjustments by major agribusinesses responding to cost pressures, supply-chain complexity, and evolving global demand. Streamlining at the corporate level often signals a focus on improving operational performance and maintaining competitiveness across the protein sector.
Cargill stated it remains dedicated to supporting employees through the transition and continuing to invest in innovation and efficiency across its agricultural and food platforms.
