08 Jan 2016 --- Slumping commodities prices and weak demand in some markets took their toll on profits for global Cargill Inc in the quarter ending Nov. 30, sending earnings and revenue down 13 percent and 10 percent, respectively. Cargill has reported a 10% fall in revenues in the latest quarter due to sliding beef prices and muted grain markets, though the agricultural giant’s sale of its U.S. pork business and its stake in a steel venture helped drive profit higher.
