Agriculture

As one of the world’s leading merchants of grains and oilseeds, Cargill connects producers and users of grains and oilseeds around the globe. We operate on an integrated global basis to source, store, trade, process and distribute grains and oilseeds including wheat, corn, oilseeds and barley as well as vegetable oils and meals. We have a broad global presence in grain origination, shipping and processing, offering a range of farmer services and risk management solutions, and have significant expertise in handling identity preserved and differentiated products.

In Hungary, our agricultural supply chain activities include:

• Originating, processing, trading and exporting grains and oilseeds
• Importing soybean and sunflower seed meal, and fishmeal

Helping our partners thrive

We originate and trade principal grains as well as sunflower seeds and rapeseeds, for the domestic market as well as for export. Our products are supplied to Cargill crush plants, biodiesel facilities, starch processing sites and feed mills across Europe.

We work hard to make our customers' businesses more successful and have recently strengthened our connections with Hungarian customers and farmers. This strategy has enabled us to create long-term contracts with domestic suppliers, providing farmers and businesses with a market for their goods.

Our capabilities and resources

While our core business is concerned with grains and oilseeds, we also have strengths in special seeds and protein feed trading.

Protein feed trading
Cargill is a significant importer of protein feed ingredients, notably soybean meal, sunflower seed meal, rapeseed meal and fishmeal.

Consistent quality and prompt supply is the key to our success. A rigorous supplier selection process is complemented by a portfolio of partnerships with other Cargill businesses in order to create synergies for customers. In addition, we aim to identify the most economical and reliable logistical solutions, and are able to offer prompt supply from stock. When necessary, we supplement domestic supply with imports from neighbouring countries.

We import and trade fishmeal in line with changing market conditions.

Storage and distribution

Located close to the border, our grain storage network supplies high quality products to processing plants and mills across Europe by truck and rail. We also charter barges on the Danube to ship grains, helping farmers build direct connections with existing customers and open up new markets.

Assured quality
Our central laboratory is accredited by the National Accrediting Body of Hungary and the Grain and Feed Trade Association. Through the laboratory, we analyse grains and oilseeds as well as semi and final products from the flour-milling industry. All analyses are performed to national and international standards.
