Bunge & Nutrition
What Bunge does
This book
Bunge moves oilseeds and grains from where they are grown to where they are needed, and processes them along the way to make foods that people love to eat.
“Bunge & Nutrition” explains how Bunge is helping people make oilseeds and grains an important part of a healthier diet. It provides an overview of how we bring these foods from farm to table, how they can benefit health, and how we approach nutrition to provide food products that enhance people’s lives. The book ends with our thoughts on nutrition for the future.
FARM
FARM
We buy oilseeds and grains directly from farmers around the world. The primary oilseeds are soybeans, rapeseeds, canola seeds, and sunflower seeds. The primary grains are wheat, corn, and rice.
TO FARM TO TO TO

We move oilseeds and grains to where they are needed using our global logistics network, and turn oilseeds into oils, margarines, and shortenings, and turn grains into flours.
Each year Bunge’s 32,000 employees move millions of tons of oilseeds, oilseed oils, grains, and other foods through our network of facilities in over 30 countries on six continents, turning much of these commodities into food products, and helping feed millions of people worldwide.

Helping people around the world eat healthier diets
Bunge’s nutrition goal is to help people use oilseeds and grains to make their diets healthier. Consumer demand for healthier oil and grain products is predicted to grow in all parts of the world in the next five years—faster than for conventional oil and grain products. Also growing is the nutrition community’s knowledge about the health effects of oilseed oils and grains, which has been rising steadily since the 1960s. At Bunge, we continually work to turn this knowledge into healthier foods that people love to eat.
The world gets more than half of its calories from oilseed oils and grains.
Percent of total daily calories from the top 10 food groups available in the global food supply on a per capita basis. Calculated from the FAO 2007 global food balance sheets using the total amount of individual foods available for human consumption, which totalled 2782 kilocalories/ day/person. Oilseed oils include soybean oil, canola/rapeseed/mustard seed oils, sunflower oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil, ricebran oil, sesame oil, and other minor oilseed oils.

Given that more than half the world’s calories come from 10000 oils and grains, there is tremendous potential to improve 5000 public health by helping people eat healthier types of these foods. It is a big opportunity, and we are working 0 actively with our partners across the food value chain and the nutrition community to meet it.
Consumer demand for healthier oil and grain products is projected to grow worldwide.

Bringing nutrition from farm to table
Our agribusiness value chain helps make oilseed and grain products accessible, safe, and affordable.
A handful of countries meet the world’s demand for oilseeds, oilseed oils, and grains. An agribusiness value chain like ours is necessary because only a handful of countries grow enough oilseeds and grains to satisfy the global demand. Bunge helps efficiently move such foods from farmers in these countries to people’s tables worldwide.
a c c e s s i b i l i t y We manage an integrated global agribusiness value chain that encompasses logistics, risk management, and food processing. It allows us to efficiently move oilseeds and grains from where they are grown to where they are needed, providing our customers with reliable access to these foods.

Health authorities around the world recommend eating 25-38 grams of dietary fiber every day.¶ The amount of fiber provided per serving of different whole grains is shown.**
We are the #1 leading wheat miller in Brazil, the #1 leading corn dry miller in the United States, and a rice miller in the United States.
It is recommended that 55-75% of total calories come from carbohydrates. Whole grains, vegetables, legumes, and fruits are the most appropriate sources of carbohydrates.
Whole grains naturally provide dietary fiber. Diets high in fiber are associated with a reduced risk for body weight gain, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

Wheat, rice, and corn are the world’s most consumed grains, accounting for over 90 percent of grains in the global food supply.‡ The whole grain form of each contains three main parts: the bran, germ, and endosperm. In food preparation, either the whole grain or its individual components can be used. Whole grain wheat, rice, and corn naturally provide fiber owing to the bran, and they also provide minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc, as well as B vitamins. 1960s

Our Approach to Nutrition Listen to consumers and know their
nutrition and health needs
Our multifaceted approach to nutrition creates food products that satisfy the tastes of consumers and meet their nutrition and health needs.
Our market research teams in Brazil, Europe, India, and China work closely with consumers to gain insights into their broad health needs as well as their health knowledge and usage of oils and fats. Our R&D and business teams also meet regularly with food processor and food service customers to gain insight into their consumers’ nutrition and health needs.
Learn
about food and health from world-class nutrition leaders
We learn about the latest research on nutrition and health from world-class experts through collaborative projects and our Nutrition Leaders Summits. Both efforts keep us current on the latest nutrition science, often before it becomes widely available to the public, so we are aware of emerging issues, and can make more informed product development and strategic business decisions.
Discover new relationships between oilseeds, grains, and health
Working in our innovation centers in Europe, the Americas, and Asia, our R&D teams investigate new ways to raise the inherent nutritional value of oilseed oil and grain products—for example, improving the nutritional profile of oilseed oil products and the structural integrity of whole grain products so that these foods can deliver additional health benefits.
Create oilseed and grain products with new health benefits for consumers
By bringing together our consumer insights, knowledge of nutrition and health, and innovative oilseed oil and grain discoveries, we are able to create products that meet consumers’ evolving nutrition and health needs and their changing tastes.
Communicate about the health benefits of our products
We communicate the benefits of our products to consumers on our product packaging and through consumer and customer awareness campaigns using responsible marketing practices in line with regional food regulations. As an example, in Poland we launched a multi-media consumer awareness program that improved consumer perception of rapeseed oil and its health benefits.

Recent nutrition success stories
Europe
Bunge has a number of nutrition success stories—oilseed oils, spreads, shortenings, and grain products that are specially developed to meet the needs of consumers, food manufacturers, and food service providers in virtually every part of the world.
Floriol Iod Protect is an iodineenhanced sunflower oil that provides 20 percent of the recommended daily intake of iodine per 30 grams of oil. It was developed to help prevent iodine deficiency in Romania, which is particularly prevalent in pregnant and nursing mothers and infants. Iodine deficiency poses numerous health risks and is the most common cause of preventable mental retardation worldwide.
asia
north america
Douweijia Smart Quality Blended Oil is a DHA-enhanced blend of soybean and sunflower oils. It was developed to help people in China better meet the daily recommended intake of DHA, an omega-3 fat that helps maintain brain, heart, and eye health in humans. DHA is naturally unique to algae and fish, and its intake in China is far below the recommendation of the World Health Organization / Food and Agriculture Organization.
Phytobake is a shortening that delivers the same baking performance as traditional shortenings, but does not contain partially hydrogenated oil—a key source of trans fat—and has approximately 50 percent less saturated fat than palm oil or butter. Developed in North America, this proprietary shortening uses plant sterols to replace trans fat and saturated fat, while providing structure to baked goods.
south america Bunge has taken efforts to provide consumers with great tasting margarines that are made without trans fat. Delicia Light, which we sell in Brazil, is an example of this. In addition to being made without partially hydrogenated oil—just like all of our Delicia margarines— Delicia Light also has 55 percent less calories and half the saturated fat of regular margarine.

Our future efforts will focus primarily on two objectives. The first is educating 40 people on the health benefits that oilseed oils and whole grains can provide. The second is determining how we can raise the inherent nutritional value 20 of oilseed oils and whole grain products through innovative processing, so 0 these foods can deliver additional health benefits. In parallel, we will continue evaluating opportunities to enhance oilseed and grain products with vitamins,
minerals, and other healthy ingredients, as well as reducing or removing 40 nutritionally undesirable attributes to further maximize the nutritional value of our products. Doing this will require partnerships across the food value 20 chain, nutrition community, and public health sector. We are already moving in this direction. 0 As we do more, we are confident we will make an even greater contribution to helping people around the world eat healthier diets.
