DESCRIPTION
| Archer-Daniels Midland Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1923, successor to the Daniels Linseed Co. founded in 1902. The Company is a processor of oilseeds, corn, wheat, cocoa, and other feedstuffs and is a manufacturer of vegetable oil and protein meal, corn sweeteners, flour, biodiesel, ethanol, and other value-added food and feed ingredients. The Company also has an extensive grain elevator and transportation network to procure, store, clean, and transport agricultural commodities, such as oilseeds, corn, wheat, milo, oats, and barley. The Company’s operations are classified into three reportable business segments: Oilseeds Processing, Corn Processing, and Agricultural Services. The Company is engaged in processing oilseeds such as soybeans, cottonseed, sunflower seeds, canola, rapeseed, peanuts, and flaxseed into vegetable oils and protein meals in North America, Europe, South America and Asia mainly for the food and feed industries. The Company produces a range of edible soy protein products including soy flour, soy grits, soy protein concentrates and soy isolates that are used in processed meats, baked foods, nutritional products, snacks, and dairy and meat analogs. From co-products of oilseeds, the Company produces natural source vitamin E, tocopherol antioxidants and phytosterols which are marketed to the dietary supplement and food industry. The Company produces soy isoflavones, a dietary supplement, from a co-product of edible soy processing. The Company is engaged in wet milling and dry milling corn operations mainly in the United States. Products produced for use in the food and beverage industry include syrup, starch, glucose, dextrose, and sweeteners. Dextrose is also produced for use by the Company as a feedstock for its bioproducts operations. By fermentation of dextrose, the Company produces alcohol, amino acids, and other specialty food and animal feed ingredients. The Agricultural Services segment utilizes the Company’s extensive grain elevator and transportation network in the United States to buy, store, clean, and transport agricultural commodities, such as oilseeds, corn, wheat, milo, oats, rice, and barley, and resells these commodities mainly as animal feed ingredients and as raw materials for the agricultural processing industry. Agricultural Services’ grain sourcing and transportation network also provides reliable and efficient services to the Company’s agricultural processing operations. Agricultural Services’ transportation network capabilities include ground, river, rail, and ocean services which provide the flexibility to transport agricultural commodities efficiently to the end consumer or the Company’s agricultural processing operations. The Company is engaged in milling wheat, corn, and milo into flour in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean, and the United Kingdom. The Company has significant competition in the markets in which it operates based mainly on price, quality, products and alternative products, some of which are made from different raw materials than those utilized by the Company. The Company is required to comply with the numerous and broad reaching laws and regulations administered by United States federal, state, local, and foreign governmental agencies relating to, but not limited to, the sourcing, transporting, storing, and processing of agricultural raw materials as well as the transporting, storing and distributing of related agricultural products, including commercial activities conducted by Company employees and third parties globally. |
