Agriculture & Trading

As one of the world's leading companies in grain and oilseeds, Cargill connects producers and consumers of grain and oilseeds around the globe. We operate on a worldwide scale, integrating the origination, storage, trading, processing, and distribution of grain and oilseeds — including wheat, corn, oilseeds, and barley, as well as vegetable oils and food products. In addition, we maintain a broad international presence across palm plantations, transportation, and processing, offering a wide range of supply chain services and risk management solutions. We also possess highly specialized expertise in the handling of Identity-Preserved grains.

In Japan, we provide agricultural supply chain services such as the following:

1. Import and transportation of corn, soybeans, canola, wheat, soybean meal, dairy products, and starches
2. Supply of a wide variety of grains, including specialty varieties with identity-preserved handling.

 

Supporting Our Customers' Growth

As the first foreign-affiliated company licensed to import wheat into Japan, we have built a distinctive capability in the transportation and domestic sale of grain. Leveraging competitive origination and transportation resources, we conduct import and export operations to meet the diverse needs of our customers, from food applications to feed applications. To further support the growth of our customers' businesses, we also offer value-added services such as quality certification, risk management, logistics management, and arbitrage opportunities.

 

Our Strengths

We handle an extensive range of grains and oils and fats — covering major grains and protein meals in general, as well as specialty varieties, vegetable oils, starches, wheat flour, and NGFI(Non Grain Feed Ingredients). In Japan, quality assurance and IP certification are critical considerations for customers. Leveraging our robust Identity Preserved (IP) handling capabilities, we can ensure strict segregation, traceability, and supply chain integrity for specific products from origin to destination.　Our shipping programs, supported by Cargill's outstanding ocean transportation capabilities, enable prompt shipping schedules and bring further efficiency to the supply chain. We also propose alternative pricing methods and logistics arrangements tailored to each customer's hedging requirements, and we make active use of futures trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
