Marubeni America Corporation

MAC buys and exports grain, meat, sugar and other foodstuffs from the American Continent for the Japanese, Asian and other world markets; engages in commodities trading through the InterContinental Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade; and assists Marubeni Corporation in conducting commodity trading with suppliers in North and South America. We export wheat, barley, rice, corn, sorghum, soybeans, canola, beef, pork, sugar, and other foodstuffs from the American continent, while also importing sugar to the U.S. from Central and South America.

We have also worked to expand our business, especially in corn and soybeans, by securing our supply base. We have a strategic alliance with major grain suppliers, Andre Maggi Group (AMAGGI), and Molino Canuelas. Also we have Time Charter Vessel Operation Company along with Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM).

Similarly, we have helped to ensure a safe and stable supply system for meat and other foodstuffs by reinforcing strong links with U.S. and Central and South American suppliers; for example, with Farmland Foods, Inc. in the chilled pork trade, with the major Bolivian cane sugar suppliers in the U.S. � quota sugar trade, and with the Canadian suppliers of wheat. We also seek to increase trade of non-genetically modified (non-GMO) grain in Japan.

MAC's affiliate, Columbia Grain International (CGII), has 35 million bushels of storage capacity and exports nearly 150 million bushels of wheat, barley, corn and soybeans through its state-of-the-art grain elevator at Terminal5 in Portland, Oregon. Through CGII, we ship almost 15% of all the wheat and barley exported by the United States. In anticipation of irregular market conditions across the globe, we are looking to new areas for supplies of grain, including South America.
