Description of Bunge Global Sa's Business Segments
Our Agribusiness segment is an integrated, global business involved in the
purchase, storage, transport, processing and sale of agricultural commodities
and commodity products while managing risk across various product lines. The
principal agricultural commodities that we handle in this segment are oilseeds,
primarily soybeans, rapeseed, canola and sunflower seed, and grains, primarily
wheat and corn. We process oilseeds into vegetable oils and protein meals, principally
for the food, animal feed and biodiesel industries, through a global network
of facilities.
Our Food and Ingredients businesses include two reportable business segments:
Edible Oil Products and Milling Products. We primarily sell our products to
three customer types or market channels: food processors, food service companies
and retail outlets. The principal raw materials used in our Food and Ingredients
businesses are various crude and further processed vegetable oils in our Edible
Oil Products segment, and wheat, corn and rice in our Milling Products segment.
These raw materials are agricultural commodities that we either produce or purchase
from third parties. We seek to realize synergies between our Food and Ingredients
and Agribusiness operations through our raw material procurement activities
and co-location of industrial facilities, enabling us to benefit from being
an integrated, global enterprise.
Edible Oil Products
Products—Our edible oil products include packaged and bulk oils, shortenings,
margarines, mayonnaise and other products derived from the vegetable oil refining
process. We primarily use soybean, sunflower, rapeseed and canola oil that we

in this business. We are a leading seller of packaged vegetable oils worldwide,
based on sales. We have edible oil refining and packaging facilities in North
America, South America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
In Brazil, our retail edible oil brands include Soya, the leading packaged

significant reductions in saturated fats in shortenings. We also offer expeller

Overview—We are a leading, integrated producer of sugar and ethanol
in Brazil, and a leading global trader and merchandiser of sugar. We own and
operate eight sugarcane mills in Brazil, the worlds largest producer and exporter
of sugar. Our mills had a total crushing capacity of approximately 21 million
metric tons per year. Sugarcane, which is the raw material that we use to produce
sugar and ethanol, is supplied by a combination of our own plantations and third-party
farmers. Additionally, through cogeneration facilities at our sugarcane mills,
we produce electricity from the burning of sugarcane bagasse (the fibrous portion
of the sugarcane that remains after the extraction of sugarcane juice) in boilers,
which enables our mills to meet their energy requirements. Any surplus electricity
is sold to the local grid or other large third-party users of electricity. Our
trading and merchandising operations engage in marketing and selling sugar through
regional marketing offices in various locations and managing the sugar price
risk for our business.
Through our operations in Argentina, we produce, blend and distribute a range
of NPK fertilizers, including phosphate-based liquid and solid nitrogen fertilizers.
NPK refers to nitrogen (N), phosphate (P) and potassium (K), the main components
of chemical fertilizers, used for crop production primarily soybeans, corn and
wheat. Our operations in Argentina are closely linked to our grain origination
activities as we supply fertilizer to producers who supply us with grain. We
also have a 75% controlling interest in a single super phosphate production
("SSP") plant and a strategically located river port facility in Argentina.
In Brazil, we supply fertilizer to farmers as part of our grain origination
activities, and operate a
