(This is the second in a series of profiles of Bunge Limited and its businesses. Bunge focuses on three main businesses: agribusiness, food products and fertilizers. This bulletin takes a look at Bunge’s agribusiness sector.)
An Introduction to Bunge’s Agribusiness Division
Corn Products employees take pride in their company and their industry. Few people can say that they work for a business that has provided foods, beverages, medicine and other vital products to people around the world for more than a century.
The employees of Bunge Limited feel that same sense of pride. Like Corn Products, Bunge plays a key role in the world’s agribusiness industry.
Bunge has agribusiness operations in North America, South America, Europe and Asia. It markets and sells its grains and refined products to customers around the world.
Bunge’s agribusiness operations include grain and oilseed origination; oilseed processing; global marketing; and risk management, among other activities.

Grain and oilseed origination
Bunge buys grains and oilseeds from farmers, stores them in elevators, ships them around the world, and sells them to a variety of customers, including feed manufacturers, livestock producers, food processors and ethanol producers. Bunge manages hundreds of elevators and a number of port terminals in North America, South America and Europe. This global footprint is important: it allows Bunge to maintain a steady supply of product

 


 

throughout the year, and provides variety and flexibility.
Oilseed processing
Along with buying, storing and selling grains, Bunge processes a variety of oilseeds into meal, oils and other products. In fact, Bunge is one of the largest oilseed processors in the world, with some 50 processing facilities in key countries. It sells those products to customers around the world, including in Europe, the Americas, Asia and North Africa. Its meals and oils are used by the animal feed industry, fish farms, food manufacturers, and industrial sectors.
Turning earth’s harvest into the products that fuel the world
While Corn Products has built its business primarily on corn (and, in some regions, tapioca), Bunge turns a number of crops grown around the world into vital foods, oils and byproducts.
Like Corn Products, Bunge knows corn. Bunge is the world’s largest corn dry miller, turning corn into such products as corn meal, flour and grits that are a part of cereals, snack foods, baked goods, beers and pet foods.

Soybeans are the major focus for Bunge’s oilseed processing business; Bunge is the second-largest soybean crusher in North America and is a leader in South America. Bunge is a major competitor in the global soybean market, which produced more than 221 million metric tons in 2006. Bunge turns soybeans into meal and oil, and sells soy pellets and hulls as animal food additives.
In addition to crops such as wheat and rice, Bunge also processes or handles rapeseed (sometimes known as canola), the world’s third-leading source of vegetable oil, as well as sugar and coarse grains.
For more than a century, Bunge has helped farmers’ crops reach the people who need them. Today Bunge continues that work, expanding the uses and value of the earth’s resources.
