Ceval Alimentos S.A.
 PROFILE
Ceval Alimentos reaps its fortune in soybeans. Ceval, Latin America's largest soybean processor, sells soybeans intact and also crushes them into vegetable fats, meal, oils, and other derivatives for commercial and industrial food and pharmaceutical uses. The Brazilian company's retail brands of soy oil include Primor, Salada, and Soya. Exports ring up almost 60% of Ceval's sales. After agricultural giant Bunge Limited bought control of Ceval in 1997, most of Ceval's non-soy operations were divested. Through Ceval's joint venture with Serrana, Bunge's fertilizer maker, farmers can now pay for fertilizer with part of their soybean crop. Bunge, through Bunge Alimentos, owns about 70% of Ceval's voting stock.
