Chapter 453 Staple Grain Business, Four Major Grain Merchants

[Chaoqun Group] has long wanted to get involved in Huaguo's staple food business, and its development in the fruit industry has also faced a bottleneck.

If you want to continue to expand your influence in agriculture, you must either expand overseas or expand your business scope.

And the current global environment is not suitable for [Superior Group] to go to sea, fearing that the employees will be poisoned to death.

So we can only expand the scope of business.

And entering Huaguo's staple food market is the first choice of [Chaoqun Group].

To be honest, if you don't have a place in the staple food market, you can't be called an influential agricultural enterprise or grain merchant.

The most famous grain merchants in the world are the four giants.

[Adm], [Bangji], [Cargill] and [Louis Dreyfus] are the four giant grain merchants, the first three are beautiful country companies, and the fourth is a French company, but this French company still has a beautiful country background .

Many people use four letters [ABCD] to replace these four multinational companies!
These four companies have a history of more than 80 years. From farmland to fork, the four major grain merchants control the entire industrial chain and control [-]% of the global grain trade.

Founded in 1905 in Illinois, ADM is the largest corn, wheat and oilseed processing giant in the world.About two-thirds of its revenue comes from processing soybeans, peanuts and other oilseeds. ADM's companies are located in more than 2 countries and regions around the world. Except for Antarctica, this is the scary thing about ADM. Where there are people, there are food giants.

Cargill was founded in 1865 and has a history of 100 years. Its headquarters is located in the beautiful state of Minnesota.It is a multinational enterprise mainly engaged in commodity trading, processing, transportation and risk management.As a non-listed company that has been on the Forbes list for 29 consecutive years, Cargill is the largest private capital company in the beautiful country.

Bunge is Brazil's largest grain exporter, the second largest exporter of soybean products, the third largest grain exporter and third largest soybean processor in the beautiful country, the fourth largest grain exporter and the largest processor of oil crops in the world.It has more than 40 factories and more than 400 employees in more than 35 countries around the world. In 1999, Bunge officially moved its headquarters to New York.

Louis Dreyfus was founded in Paris, France in 1851, and initially mainly distributed European grain export transactions.After more than 100 years of development, it has gradually become a large multinational grain trader.At the same time, it is the third largest grain exporter in the world and the largest grain trader in France, and has been deployed in the European market for many years.It has several ethanol production plants in Brazil in South America, and its business covers many countries.

These four major grain merchants have been deeply involved in the Huaguo market for many years.

In 2000, Beautiful Country ADM and Singapore Wilmar Group jointly established Yihai (Huaguo) Group, also known as Yihai Kerry.Only one year after its establishment, the group has directly controlled more than 40 companies in the Huaguo market.

Its production plants are distributed in 26 provinces including Shandong, Hunan, Yu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Heilongjiang, with more than 300 processing and production workshops.Its products such as [Golden Dragon Fish], [Orchid Flower], [Xiangmanyuan], [Neptune], and [Golden Weiwei] were all mistaken for domestic products.

Cargill, a beautiful country, began to enter the Huaguo market in the 1990s.Currently, Cargill is one of the major grain and oil suppliers in Huaguo.At the same time, Cargill is also involved in the procurement, processing, transportation and sales of agricultural products, and has more than 30 animal nutrition factories in China to produce related pet food.

Beautiful Country Bunge Company has been an exporter of soybeans in Huaguo since around 2000. It started to set up a soybean processing plant in Huaguo in 2004, and currently has more than 32 factories in 450 countries around the world.Among the four major grain merchants, it is famous for focusing on the integrity of the industrial chain from the farm to the terminal.

As for Louis Dreyfus of France, it has a very close relationship with the Huaguo market.Although this company did not directly enter the Huaguo market, they occupy an extremely important position in the import and export business. Most of the raw materials for products such as wheat and cotton are controlled by this company.It is worth noting that this company also has a domestic trade license for corn products in my country, which allows it not only to sell corn domestically, but also to export it.

Collectively, the Big Four grain merchants control 80 percent of the global grain market.The most important factor behind this is that the four major grain merchants control a one-stop industrial chain, controlling all links of grain planting, processing, export, and transportation, and entering the markets of various countries is almost effortless.It is precisely because it controls the industrial chain that it has the right to price food!

Kissinger, the former Secretary of State of the Beautiful Country, once said: "Whoever controls oil controls all countries; whoever controls food controls mankind; whoever controls the right to issue currency controls the world."

The influence of the four major grain merchants can be seen!
[Chaoqun Group] The agricultural business is just a little brother compared to them.

These four major international grain merchants compete with each other on a global scale, and sometimes they will unite tacitly to suppress latecomers.

[Chaoqun Group] has tried to intervene in the rice market, which is the staple food of China, and invested in major rice producing areas such as Hunan Province, Guangdong Province, and Guangxi Province.

However, due to the joint suppression of the four major grain merchants and domestic giants, the investment did not cause much splash and ended without a problem.

They don't want [Chaoqun Group], which is the leader in the fruit supply chain industry and fruit retail industry, to successfully enter this industry. They are worried that [Chaoqun Group]'s rich experience in agricultural operations and strong financial resources will gain a firm foothold in this staple food industry. , and continue to erode their interests.

要知道，从2016-2019年，华国鲜果零售市场规模由0.87万亿元增至1.49万亿元，复合年增长率10.2%；华国鲜果分销市场规模由0.68万亿元增长至1.23万亿元，复合年增长率10.4%。

A large part of the profit was taken by [Superior Group].

水果供应链第二名的【红九果品】其2017年、2018年、2019年调整后净利分别达2.28、6.62及6.04亿元，净利率分别达11.0%/11.5%/11.2%，还没有【超群集团】相关业务利润的零头多。

And in 2020, [Super Group]'s [Snow Banana] will be popular all over the world, which will bring even more terrifying performance growth and unimaginable huge profits to [Super Group], at least one percent [-], more than [-]% profit growth.

Not only in the fruit supply chain and retail industry, but also in the industries [Superior Group] is involved in, they have basically achieved the top three in the industry, or are the number one, and have taken away the largest profits in the industry.

Many people in the industry said that [Chaoqun Group] is the [Apple] in the industry, not only has the best reputation, but also takes the biggest profits.
