Bunge completes sale of its North America corn milling business

(Posted on 02/07/25)

Bunge Global SA has confirmed that it has completed the previously announced sale of its North America dry corn and corn masa milling business.

In April, Bunge entered into definitive agreements to sell the corn milling businesses to Grain Craft, one of the largest independent flour millers in the U.S. This transaction includes Bunge facilities in Danville, Illinois; Worthington, Indiana; Crete, Nebraska; Red Oak, Iowa; Muleshoe, Texas; Atchison, Kansas; and Queretaro, Mexico.

Bunge’s Co-President, Agribusiness, Julio Garros commented in April, “We carefully considered how this regional business fits with our long-term plans and made the strategic decision to focus on other areas of our core business that are more strongly connected to our global value chains. We are grateful for the hard work and dedication of our milling team and their commitment to running the business safely, and efficiently while delivering high-quality products to our customers.”

The completion of the sale was subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions.
