Bunge Global SA is a leading agribusiness and food company with a global presence, engaging in an array of agricultural commodity operations that span from the procurement and processing of oilseeds and grains to producing sugar, ethanol, and electricity derived from sugarcane bagasse. Leveraging its vast network and capabilities, Bunge operates through four primary segments: Agribusiness, Refined and Specialty Oils, Milling, and Sugar and Bioenergy. Since its establishment in 1818, Bunge has been at the forefront of agricultural innovation and food production, catering to a diverse clientele that includes animal feed manufacturers, food producers, and biofuel companies. The company's headquarters are located in Chesterfield, Missouri, standing as a testament to its longstanding tradition and commitment to the agribusiness sector.
Under this segment, Bunge handles the purchasing, storing, transporting, processing, and selling of a broad spectrum of agricultural commodities and products. Its main focus is on oilseeds like soybeans, rapeseed, canola, and sunflower seeds, along with grains such as wheat and corn. The primary outputs from this segment are vegetable oils and protein meals designed for applications in animal feed, edible oil processing, and biofuel production.
This segment emphasizes selling packaged and bulk oils and fats, including a variety of cooking oils, shortenings, margarines, mayonnaise, and ingredients for renewable diesel feedstocks. Bunge targets an array of customers from baked goods manufacturers and snack food producers to food service operators and grocery chains, offering specialized products like fractionated palm oils and specialty ingredients derived from vegetable oils.
Within the milling segment, Bunge provides wheat flours, bakery mixes, and a range of corn milling products. These include everything from dry-milled corn meals and flours to masa and flaking grits, alongside specialty products like non-GMO corn-soy blends and whole grain ingredients, catering to the needs of the food industry.
With a focus on sustainable energy sources, this segment is dedicated to the production of sugar and ethanol, along with generating electricity from the combustion of sugarcane bagasse. By leveraging the by-products of sugarcane processing, Bunge not only produces essential commodities but also contributes to a more sustainable energy future.
