Cargill

We are a family company with a rich heritage, founded in 1865 by William Wallace Cargill when he bought his first grain warehouse in Conover, Iowa. From those humble beginnings, we've grown into a global partner, connecting people and resources across the agricultural supply chain. For over 155 years, we've been dedicated to nourishing the world in a safe, responsible, and sustainable way. Our purpose is to be a trusted leader in food, agriculture, financial, and industrial products and services. We partner with farmers, producers, manufacturers, retailers, governments, and communities to help people thrive by applying our insights and extensive experience. We strive to create efficiencies, develop innovations, and help communities prosper. Our operations span across 70 countries, and our approximately 160,000 employees worldwide work every day to make essential products that touch billions of lives.

Our core belief is that 'our word is our bond,' a promise we've upheld since our inception. We are committed to putting people first, reaching higher, and doing the right thing. These values guide us as we look ahead while remaining true to our family company ethos. We are passionate about innovation and sustainability, constantly seeking new ways to meet the demands of an ever-changing world. Our diverse businesses range from trading, purchasing, and distributing grain and other agricultural commodities like palm oil, to trading in energy, steel, and transport. We are also involved in raising livestock, producing feed, and manufacturing food ingredients such as starch, glucose syrup, vegetable oils, and fats for various applications. Furthermore, we have a significant financial services arm that manages financial risks in commodity markets. We are proud of our history and the role we play in bringing vital products to those who need them, from eggs and edible oils to salt, skincare, feed, and flooring. We are dedicated to keeping food safe, which is at the heart of our business and our promise to nourish the world.
