ADM’s worldwide agricultural processing, trading and sales operations comprise wholly and jointly owned plants and sales offices located throughout Asia and the Pacific Rim.
A key part of ADM’s Asia strategy today is our strategic ownership interest in Wilmar International Limited, Asia’s premiere agricultural processing business. Wilmar operates palm plantations; crushing facilities for various types of oilseeds; vegetable oil refineries and packaging facilities; plants that produce oleo chemicals, soy proteins and fertilizers; and multiple wheat and rice milling facilities.

We also trade agricultural products – including those made from cocoa, oilseeds and a variety of grains – through ADM (Shanghai) Trading Company Ltd.
In partnership with the Tinna Group in India, ADM processes oilseeds into edible oils, animal feed and feed ingredients, and biodiesel fuel. We also provide food ingredients to leading international food manufacturers, offer cargo handling services and warehousing facilities at major Indian ports; and operate a unique training, procurement and incentive program designed to assist Indian farmers in improving crop quality and increasing yields.
