PROFILE |
 |
Even after cutting back on consumer foods, Bunge Limited (formerly Bunge International) is still sizable. The conglomerate is a leading global soybean exporter, and, through subsidiary Bunge North America, is the US's #3 food processor (after ADM and Cargill). Bunge also owns Latin America's largest fertilizer producer. To focus on its soybean, grain trading, and fertilizer businesses, Bunge sold all of its consumer food processing firms, except Bunge Alimentos (margarine maker and soybean processor). Commonly described as secretive, Bunge (founded in 1818) is held by more than 100 shareholders, mostly members of families descended from founder Johann Peter Gottlieb Bunge. The company is planning to go public.
