It all started with Grains

Grains are the Group’s longest-standing business and have contributed immensely to building its global reputation.

• The Platform includes wheat, corn, sorghum, barley, rye, oats and ethanol.
• LDCommodities:
  • Originates in all of the world’s major grain producing regions: the US, South America, Australia and countries of the former Soviet bloc.
  • Manages a large import and distribution network in key consumption regions such as Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the former Soviet bloc.
  • Moves products throughout the value chain from farmer to consumer, all around the world through its logistics network.
  • Captures an increasingly larger share of exportable surpluses from South America and the Black Sea region as global trade volumes grow.
