United States ·
Seaboard Corporation is a publicly traded United States group headquartered in Merriam, Kansas. Its agrifood businesses combine commodity trading, processing and pork production, while the wider conglomerate also runs ocean transportation through Seaboard Marine and energy activities through Seaboard Energy. The agricultural side is organised mainly in two parts: Seaboard Overseas and Trading Group, which handles trading and milling, and Seaboard Foods, an integrated pork producer.
Seaboard Overseas and Trading Group buys, ships and sells wheat, corn, soybeans and soybean meal, and runs milling operations, so grain from producing regions reaches processors and livestock farms in importing markets. Seaboard Foods works as an integrated pork business, covering production through to marketing, with Prairie Fresh among its pork brands. Integration means the same company controls the pigs, the processing and the sale of the meat, which keeps quality and supply consistent for buyers.
