Through ADM Direct, farmers in the UK now have the opportunity to build a mutually beneficial business partnership with ADM and to sell rapeseed and wheat, directly to the processor. The new partnership affords ADM continuity of supply and improved traceability, and reaffirms ADM's strategy to forge closer links with its farmer suppliers.
ADM Erith's rapeseed processing facility is the largest in the UK, consuming around 1/2 of all the rapeseed grown in Britain. By dealing through ADM Direct, farmers can now access accurate, first-hand market information, allowing them to make better-informed marketing decisions. They have access to the best movement positions into ADM Erith, allowing their rapeseed to be transported when they want. Through ADM Direct, farmers now have an invaluable point of contact at the final destination. All quality premiums are paid directly to the farmer, in full.
Increasing numbers of farmers are working with ADM Direct and gaining real benefit from the partnership.
ADM Direct also offers a range of marketing packages to allow farmers to optimise farm storage and cash flow demands.
ADM Milling, with eight flour mills across England and Scotland, is one of the largest processors of biscuit and bread making wheat in Britain. Through ADM Direct, wheat farmers can now build a mutually beneficial partnership with their customer and gain a real benefit by working in concert with a major flour miller.
