Material topics:
•
Food safety and quality
• Focus on client needs
Cargill corporate clients include food and beverage multi-
nationals, farmers breeders, bar and restaurant chains, and
even handmade chocolate stores. For all of them, our indis-
putable value is to ensure the quality of the food we pro-
duce and sell. We conduct our businesses based on their
needs and expectations and our innovation centers uphold
clients as their parameter, for which we foresee trends and
seek solutions.
The food and drink industry, for decades anchored on a
limited portfolio of massively manufactured products, has
undergone a great transformation in recent years. Income
growth has allowed greater access to food and the sector
observed the advent of consumers avid for novelties and a
market more and more questioned about its practices.
The countless diversity of new products, globalized compe-
tition with unexpected players, changes in consumer shop-
ping patterns and new food habits required being met with
more stringent regulations and demands for food safety,
chain traceability and sustainability.
Faced with this scenario, the industry at large increasingly
assesses if its partners are in line with its own sustainability
principles. And if they are capable of anticipating trends and
help it to reinvent itself.
We create specific and
innovative solutions
for our clients, in line
with consumer values
and preferences
Cargill responded to these transformations by using skills
forged over decades to connect ideas to opportunities,
having as a strategic guideline to generate value for clients
and be their partner of choice. We offer to the food and
beverage industry a diversified portfolio of basic and special
ingredients and the technical resources and international
know-how to move forward. For the Food Service market
(bars and restaurants), we have developed innovations and
finished food systems, designed to meet the sensory, func-
tional and nutritional expectations of their consumers.
Having a complete ingredient portfolio and experience in
formulations, we have created specific and innovative solu-
tions for our industrial and commercial clients in line with
consumer values and preferences. As an example, we have
responded to the preference of a part of consumers wanting
healthier foods while maintaining their flavor and texture with
the research and development of less fatty meat, tomato
sauce containing less salt, sweeteners made using natural
ingredients, healthy oils, vegan chocolate and cereals with
more vitamins or without genetically modified organisms
(GMO). The innovation premise at Cargill is to help clients sell
and grow, by offering options to their lines of products.View entire presentation
