                      AMENDMENT No. 2 to SCHEDULE 13D

     This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of
Greenlight Capital, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
("Greenlight"), and Mr. David Einhorn and Mr. Jeffrey A. Keswin, the
principals of Greenlight, as an amendment to the initial statement on
Schedule 13D, relating to shares of common stock ("Shares") of Agribrands
International, Inc. (the "Issuer"), as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on July 22, 1998 and amended by
Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on July 28, 1998
(as amended, the "Amended Schedule 13D").

     This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D relates to Shares of the Issuer
purchased by Greenlight for the account of (i) Greenlight Capital, L.P.
("Greenlight Fund"), of which Greenlight is the general partner, (ii)
Greenlight Capital Qualified, L.P. ("Greenlight Qualified"), of which
Greenlight is the general partner and (iii) Greenlight Capital Offshore,
Ltd. ("Greenlight Offshore"), to which Greenlight acts as investment
advisor.  The Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as
follows:

ITEM 3.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS

      Item 3 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated  in
its entirety to read as follows:

     As of October 30, 1998, Greenlight had invested (i) $10,075,047.40 in
Shares through Greenlight Fund, (ii) $11,905,706.88 in Shares through
Greenlight Qualified and (iii) $9,207,605.92 in Shares through Greenlight
Offshore, all as described in Item 5 below. The source of these funds was
the working capital of each of Greenlight Fund, Greenlight Qualified and
Greenlight Offshore, as the case may be.

ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     Item 5 of the Amended Schedule 13D is hereby amended by amending and
restating Items 5(a) and (c) as follows:

          (a)  As of October 30, 1998, Greenlight, Mr. Einhorn and Mr.
Keswin are beneficial owners of an aggregate of 912,300 Shares of the
Issuer or 8.55% of the Shares outstanding. The 912,300 Shares described
above are beneficially owned by Greenlight, Mr. Einhorn and Mr. Keswin for
the account of Greenlight Fund, Greenlight Qualified or Greenlight
Offshore, as the case may be.

     The number of Shares beneficially owned by Greenlight, Mr. Einhorn and
Mr. Keswin and the percentage of outstanding Shares represented thereby
have been computed in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Act.  The
percentage of beneficial ownership of Greenlight, Mr. Einhorn and Mr.
Keswin on October 30, 1998 is based on 10,668,571 outstanding Shares as of
October 1, 1998 as reported in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Commission for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1998.

          (c)  The transactions in the Issuer's securities by Greenlight
during the last sixty days are listed as Annex A attached hereto and made
a part hereof.
