Bunge began as an import-export business in a single city. Starting with Johann’s grandsons, Edouard and Ernest, the family expanded his vision through generations and across oceans. In 1884, together with the Born family, it launched a grain trading company in the burgeoning agribusiness market of Argentina. In 1905 the company expanded to Brazil and in 1918 to North America, the world’s largest agricultural market. Asia and Europe followed, as Bunge steadily established itself in the world’s great crop-growing regions, while staying close to the customers it served. We continue to follow this path today.
Throughout our more than 200 years of experience, we continued to focus on achieving the right balance between our core activities in agribusiness and food and ingredients. Bunge moved headquarters from Sao Paulo to New York in 2001. In 2019, Bunge moved its global headquarters to the St. Louis metropolitan area, where the company had already a major business presence. The region is also home to a number of food, agriculture, animal health and plant science organizations and customers.
We continue to seek out opportunities around the world that will strengthen our winning global footprint and achieve the right balance in both business type and capital allocation. We consistently work to create value by serving customers better, improving our processes, strengthening global food security and helping communities prosper. Everything we do is to keep our purpose in connecting farmers to consumers to sustainably deliver essential food, feed and fuel around the world. We collaborate with customers to create tailored and innovative solutions to meet evolving dietary needs and trends, delivering the functionality the food and nutrition industry demands and satisfying the diverse tastes of consumers in every part of the world.
