EXPECTED

From a single seed in a farmer’s fi eld to a dinner table halfway across the globe,

Cargill brings ideas together to help satisfy the world’s needs. To get there, we

collaborate with customers to create better products and services, streamline supply

chains, save energy, reduce costs and move goods to every corner of the planet. We

help farmers get higher yields from fewer acres, and store crops so they have greater

fl exibility in marketing their harvest. We give back to the communities where we do

business through continuous efforts to improve nutrition, health and education, and

protect natural resources. Every day, Cargill nourishes people and ideas — in both expected

and unexpected ways.

In Brazil, Cargill partners

with local authorities

to support elementary

education and early

childhood literacy programs

that reach 46,000 students.

0Cargill collaborated

to create Truvia™,

the first natural,

zero-calorie sweetener

made with rebiana,

the best-tasting part of

the stevia leaf.

Since 1865, Cargill has found innovative ways to better people’s lives. With

each generation, we’ve managed to adapt to the challenges of the day.

Populations shift, tastes evolve, regulations change, technologies break through.

We rely on our experience and foresight to decipher the trends and bring new

ideas to light—sometimes unexpectedly. In 2000, we brainstormed alternatives

to depositing turkey feathers in landfi lls. Today we’ve developed a premium organic

fertilizer made of turkey feathers for use on golf courses. It’s just one of the ways we

help customers turn today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities.
