Loughridge Bunge jumping

John Loughridge has found a new challenge. Here is a release that John sent out this afternoon describing his new opportunity.

After leaving Coral Gables, Fla.-based Del Monte Fresh Produce NA Inc. last August, the release said Loughridge has joined Bunge Ltd. as vice president, food products for Latin America and the Caribbean. Loughridge will work out of Bunge’s Coral Gables, Florida office.

The release notes Bunge is the world's oilseed processor, the largest producer and supplier of fertilizers to farmers in South America, the world’s leading seller of bottled vegetable oils to consumers, and an emerging leader in biofuels.

We'll get more reaction from John next week on his new job description and if he will cross paths with the world of produce.
