NEW YORK (Standard&Poor's) Sept. 28, 2007--Standard&Poor's Ratings Services today affirmed its 'A' senior unsecured debt rating on Cargill Inc.'s (A/Stable/A-1) senior unsecured notes following the $150 million add-on due 2037. Proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, the repayment of outstanding short-term debt. The ratings on Cargill Inc. and related entities are supported by the firm's position as one of the world's leading agribusiness companies, with major market positions in agricultural processing and merchandising, industrial production, and financial services. However, this is partially offset, in Standard&Poor's view, by a moderately aggressive financial profile. Ratings List Cargill Inc. Corporate Credit Rating A/Stable/A-1 Ratings Affirmed Cargill Inc.
