Cargill will invest $150 million to upgrade its French sunflower seed processing plant in Saint-Nazaire as it aims to meet a rise in demand for high-protein meal for animal feed, Reuters reported, citing the US agriculture group on Wednesday.

The investment will reduce reliance on imports, while a new biomass boiler is expected to cut the plant's natural gas use, it said.
