Cargill is an international producer and marketer of food, agricultural, financial and industrial products and services. Founded in 1865, it employs 155,000 people in 70 countries.

Cargill has a long, rich heritage, starting with WW Cargill’s first grain storage facility on the American frontier in 1865.

The company has grown to become one of the largest privately owned businesses, providing food, agricultural, risk management, financial and industrial products and services around the globe. Increasingly, it places a strong emphasis on sustainability, and launched the Cargill Cocoa Promise in 2012 to align its efforts in origin countries and help improve livelihoods for cocoa farmers.
