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.
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.
We distribute our food products to grocery stores, food
manufacturers, restaurants, and other food service outlets in
order to ultimately reach your table.
To learn more about what Bunge does, please visit www.bunge.com.
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.

this book
“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.

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.
Given that more than half the world’s calories come from
oils and grains, 10000 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.

Providing reliable access to safe and affordable foods is the first step Bunge
takes to help people around the world eat healthier diets.
Bringing nutrition from farm to table
Our agribusiness value chain helps
make oilseed and grain products
accessible, safe, and affordable.
accessibility 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.
safety At every link in the value chain—whether we are buying from
farmers, transporting, storing, handling, or processing oilseeds and
grains—we take the necessary steps to ensure the quality and safety of
our food products.
affordability Because we manage the entire agribusiness value
chain from farm to table, we can bring oilseed and grain products to
customers with greater efficiency.
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.

Bringing the nutrition of oilseeds to your table
Bunge makes oilseed products that are
rich in polyunsaturated fat.
Oilseed oils are among the richest dietary sources of omega-3 and omega-6
polyunsaturated fats, which are essential for human health but are not
produced by the human body.* Bunge makes oils from oilseeds such as
soybeans, sunflower seeds, canola seeds, and rapeseeds. 100% We also make
margarines, shortenings, and mayonnaises from these oils.
We are the world’s #1 seller of oilseed 80oils
to consumers,
and the world’s #2 seller of margarines to consumers.
We are the leading bottled oil retailer in Brazil with Soya and Salada brands,
60
and in Europe with Floriol, Ideal, Kujawski, Oleina, and Venusz, among others.
Our bottled oil brands in Asia are Dalda and Chambal (India), and Douweijia
(China). Our retail margarine brands in Brazil are Delicia, Soya, Primor, and
Cyclus; in Europe they are Deli Reform, Keiju, and Smakowita, among others.
We supply oilseed food products to food businesses globally.
Food manufacturers, restaurants, food service operators, and bakeries rely on
our packaged oilseed oils, margarines, and shortenings. We are known in Brazil
through our BungePro brand, in the United States through our Bunge NT (NoTrans),
UltraStability, and UltraBlends brands, in Canada through our NutraClear and Capri
brands, and in India through our Masterline brand. We 0 also help meet the needs of
commercial customers in Europe and China.

our Approach to nutrition
Our multifaceted
approach to
nutrition creates
food products that
satisfy the tastes
of consumers and
meet their nutrition
and health needs.
LISTEN to consumers and know 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.

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.
recent nutrition success stories
EUROPE ASIA NORTH AMERICA SOUTH AMERICA
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.
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.
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: educating people
about how to choose healthy oil and grain products, and exploring new ways to
increase the nutritional value of these foods.
