A global agribusiness solutions provider has acquired Richland-based Central Washington Corn Processors Inc., a leading provider of feed processing services in the Pacific Northwest. 

Bunge, headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, announced the acquisition on Oct. 30. 

CWCP operates a bulk-commodity handling facility that supports the distribution of grain and oilseed agricultural products to dairies, ranches, feedlots and commercial customers across the region through dual access to the BNSF and Union Pacific rail networks. 

CWCP was established in 2002 and operates 45,000 tons of covered storage capacity and 2.1 million bushels of grain storage. 

“This transaction represents an important step in expanding Bunge’s feed solutions footprint and strengthening our ability to serve customers in the Pacific Northwest and support continued growth in the region’s livestock and dairy sectors,” said Rayner Freyberg, Bunge’s U.S. country manager, in a statement. “By combining CWCP’s proven operations, strategic location, and strong customer relationships with Bunge’s global expertise and network, we are well positioned to enhance service, increase efficiency, and unlock new opportunities for our customers across the Pacific Northwest.”

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Bunge bought three properties covering just over 40 acres from CWCP for $15.4 million, according to property records. The properties also include a 142,116-square-foot grain shed, several heavy commercial and manufacturing buildings and a 2,160-square-foot office building. 

The land is at 3334 Logston Blvd. in Richland, and the sale went through on Oct. 27.

CWCP has operated in Richland since 2016, first as a tenant of the city of Richland, then as a Port of Benton tenant after the property changed hands in January 2025, according to a release from the port. 

“Bunge’s investment in this facility speaks to the strategic advantages Richland offers for agriculture, rail and distribution,” said the port’s interim executive director, Ron Branine, in a statement. “We’re excited to welcome Bunge to the port and look forward to supporting its continued growth and investment in our region.”
