Oilseeds processing

Oilseeds such as soybeans, rapeseed, canola and sunflower seeds are the basis for a wide range of foods, animal feeds and other products. We have built relationships with oilseed growers and customers for over 100 years and are now the world’s largest oilseed processor. We provide vital links in the chain from producer to consumer by sourcing oilseeds and crushing them to produce vegetable oils and protein meals. These are used to produce animal feed, make cooking oils, margarine and shortening and in the biodiesel industry. Our balanced global footprint includes a particularly strong local presence in the three largest soybean oilseed producing countries in the world: the US, Brazil and Argentina. We operate crush plants around the world – at both origins and destinations. Our processing capacity covers South America, North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, including both soy crush and soft seed crush. Our global presence means we can serve growing regions well. Because we sell much of our output to our own Bunge Loders Croklaan business, we are well placed to streamline the overall production process, helping us increase efficiency and create even more value.
