- Bunge Limited operates as a global agribusiness and food company engaged in the sourcing, buying, selling, storing, transporting, and processing of oilseeds and grains. The company manufactures protein meals for animal feed and edible oils for commercial customers; produces sugar and ethanol from sugarcane; mills wheat and corn for food processors, bakeries, brewers, and other commercial clients; and sells fertilizers primarily to farmers in South America. Its product portfolio includes refined and specialty oils such as soybean, canola, sunflower, tropical oils, shortenings, margarines, food ingredients, animal feed and nutrition products, and pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. Bunge operates through consolidated segments that include Agribusiness, Refined and Specialty Oils, Milling, and Fertilizers, serving customers worldwide with a strong presence across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Founded in 1818 and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, the company employs approximately 37,000 people globally.
In the past two years, Bunge has completed a transformative merger with Viterra Limited, creating a premier global agribusiness solutions company with enhanced capabilities and expanded geographic and operational reach. This merger has led to significant changes in Bunge’s reporting segments, aligning operations to reflect soybean processing and refining by commodity type alongside combined grain merchandising and milling segments. The company made substantial progress on growth investments, strategic partnerships, and divested its sugar and bioenergy joint venture, concurrently repurchasing $1.1 billion in shares in 2024. Post-merger, Bunge announced refinements in reporting structures to better capture volumes and revenues tied to oilseeds, grains, and refined oil production, enhancing transparency for investors. The company continues to emphasize sustainability goals, having achieved 100% traceability and monitoring targets in Brazil, and remains focused on connecting farmers to consumers to deliver essential food, feed, and fuel globally.
