Bunge Global SA

Bunge Global SA is a Swiss-incorporated agribusiness and food company whose core business is moving oilseeds and grains through a global value chain from origination and storage to processing, refining, merchandising, and distribution. Following the Viterra acquisition completed in 2025, Bunge reorganized its reporting around four segments: Soybean Processing and Refining, Softseed Processing and Refining, Other Oilseeds Processing and Refining, and Grain Merchandising and Milling. The company sells into food, feed, fuel, and industrial end markets, with biodiesel, fertilizer, and plant-based ingredients alongside traditional commodity merchandising. Its assets and operations are spread across the Americas, Europe, and other global markets, making it a geographically diversified but operationally complex commodity processor and trader.
