The CEO of ADM on Expanding Its Focus from Commodities to Consumers
ADM的CEO就将其业务重心从商品转向消费者的扩展进行了讨论。

Nine years later we have done just that: We’ve reorganized the company into three segments: agricultural services and oilseeds, which procures, transports, trades, crushes, and processes oilseeds and grains; carbohydrate solutions, which focuses on processing corn and wheat into starches, sweeteners, and inputs for industrial and consumer products; and nutrition, which develops and supplies flavors, specialty ingredients, and formulation services for food, beverage, and animal nutrition customers, along with solutions oriented toward health and well-being. In all three units we now sell not just raw or processed commodities but differentiated products. And we have identified three long-term global macro trends—food security, sustainability, and health and well-being—around which we are making capital-allocation, strategic, and operational decisions.
