In Singapore, ADM’s primary business is processing cocoa beans.
ADM procures raw materials from cocoa producing countries in the Asia Pacific. At our cocoa processing plant in Singapore, we process cocoa beans into semi-finished products such as cocoa butter, cocoa liquor and cocoa powder. These products are sold and distributed under the deZaan™ brand name through our local and global sales networks.
ADM has an interest in Alfred C. Toepfer International, a global merchandiser of agricultural commodities and processed products that has its Asian regional office in Singapore.
A key part of ADM’s Asia strategy today is our strategic ownership interest in Wilmar International Limited, Asia’s premiere agricultural processing business, which has locations in Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia and Singapore, and in other parts of the world. 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.
ADM employs nearly 300 people in Singapore.
