Viterra has acquired full ownership of a grain facility at Northgate, North Dakota.

The company previously held a 50 per cent stake through a joint venture agreement with General Mills.

"We're pleased to take on full ownership of this facility, and to continue building our presence in the us," said Kyle Jeworski, Viterra's President and CEO for North America. "We're looking forward to continuing to work closely with local customers to provide them with superior service, including access to global markets, the expertise of our staff, flexible contracting options, and a wide variety of online tools that are available exclusively to Viterra customers across our asset network."

Viterra's presence in North Dakota also includes special crops facilities in Ray and Minot, and a grain elevator at Grand Forks.
