Sectors Agriculture for Biofuels, Agriculture for Food Crops, Agriculture for Industrial Crops, Chemical Manufacturing, Commodities Trading Headquarters Ownership The Louis Dreyfus family has ownership of approximately 95%, and LDC employees and management have around 5%. Subsidiaries Website https://www.ldc.com/ About Louis Dreyfus Company Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) is a leading processor and trader of agricultural commodities. LDC is active in over 100 countries and indirectly reaches a consumer base of 500 million people by originating, processing, and transporting approximately 81 million tons of commodities annually. Revenues in 2017 were USD 43 billion, and LDC employs 19,000 people worldwide. Louis Dreyfus Company is one of the major processors and exporters of soy in South America and one of the largest commodity traders globally. The company has significant oilseed crushing facilities in Brazil and Argentina, as well as having an annual capacity of several million metric tons in China. LDC is among the top ten soy exporters in Argentina and among the top five in Paraguay and Brazil. The company’s palm oil operations are also significant with the company handling over 2 million metric tons of palm oil and derivatives in 2015. It is also a major producer of biodiesel. Why this profile? Louis Dreyfus' operations, particularly in the soy and orange supply chains, are implicated in several social and environmental issues, such as poor working and living conditions, and deforestation of the Amazon and Cerrado biomes. Louis Dreyfus forms part of a group of companies which dominate the global soy trade. Taken together, the supply chains of Louis Dreyfus, Bunge, Cargill, ADM, COFCO, and Amaggi are associated with two-thirds of the total deforestation risk directly linked to soy expansion, the majority of it in the Cerrado. What must happen Banks and other financial institutions should not provide any new financing for Louis Dreyfus, until it is proven and verified that its supply chains respect workers rights and are not linked to deforestation of these biomes. Impacts Social and human rights impacts Working and living conditions LDC is the world’s third-largest orange juice producer, and its sector operations in Brazil are linked to several working and living conditions issues. According to a report from Public Eye and Repórter Brasil, LDC has committed nearly 200 violations of labour law in the Brazilian citrus sector since 2010, approximately half of which relate to workers’ health and safety. Pickers working for the company's suppliers reported that they do not earn the statutory minimum wage equivalent to around CHF 190 per month. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, in comparison to 2019, the real wages are even lower. With the social distancing rules on plantations, fewer pickers are being recruited, further increasing the pressure to be highly productive. The pickers are employed for the harvest season, which lasts between eight and eleven months, under precarious conditions and contracts that include daily productivity targets. Seasonally employed pickers at LDC are also denied access to the company’s healthcare benefits. In 2018, the multinational was ordered to pay a fine equivalent to 122,400 Swiss francs, after an inspection five years earlier revealed that 34 employees had been living in a former henhouse. Environmental and climate impacts Deforestation and biodiversity loss According to the Trase report, Louis Dreyfus is among the six major companies operating in the Brazilian soy supply chain (along with Bunge, Cargill, ADM, Amaggi, and COFCO), which traditionally have dominated the trade of soy from Brazil and were responsible for 58% of the soy exports in the country and exposed to a 68% direct risk of deforestation between 2006 and 2016. The main areas impacted are the Amazon rainforest and the Cerrado savanna, more specifically in the Matopiba region, the new agricultural frontier of the soy expansion. Compared with the other global traders, LDC’s deforestation footprint is relatively small – its presence is mostly located in already consolidated soy growing areas. However, the company is also exposed to deforestation risks through its joint venture with Amaggi, the Amaggi & LD Commodities. Between 2009 and 2016, the joint-venture exported 2.6 million tonnes of soy from Matopiba (9% of all soy exported from the region), and was exposed to much higher relative deforestation risk than the parent companies: 8 ha per 1,000 tonnes. In 2018, the company announced a policy to eliminate the destruction of native ecosystems and endangered wildlife from its soy supply chain. However, NGOs state that since the deforestation commitment, there was no detailed action plan stating clear objectives and deadlines. LDC's palm oil supply chain is also linked to deforestation: the biggest and the fifth largest deforesters in Southeast Asia in 2018, the Malaysian company Bintulu Lumber Development (BLD) and the Indonesian Musirawas Group respectively, are suppliers of LDC.

  • The Abcds' Transformation: How Far Will Downstream Integration
    June 2019 Unigrains – In Brief The ABCDs’ transformation: how far will downstream integration go? The ABCD's transformation: accelerated pace of deals 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 -10 Number Number acquisitions of cumulated ADM Bunge Cargill LDC Source: Unigrains based on Pitchbook ➢ Looking for lost margins: downstream integration Since the early 2010s, the main international traders in agricultural commodities, Archer Daniel Midland (ADM), Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC), otherwise known as the ABCDs, have seen their profits fall (cf. In Brief: “International agricultural trading: a model in question”). Their position as intermediaries in the agri-food sector is undermined by a combination of several factors. While they remain essential links in the value chain, given their international footprint and their ability to manage risks, the ABCDs have had to embark on a phase of deep reinvention to restore margins. This transformation translates into ever-increasing downstream integration. It reflects the ABCDs’ attempt to secure outlets for their commodities, position themselves in value-added segments that generate higher margins, and strengthen their pricing power through differentiated products in order to reduce profit volatility. ➢ Strategic options The ABCDs’ investments directly reflect their strategic choices in terms of vertical integration. Over the past few years their average acquisition pace sharply accelerated. • ADM started building up its Nutrition division in 2014 with the acquisition of Brazil’s Wild Flavor (natural ingredients). In 2018, ADM’s Nutrition division accounted for 10% of group operating income, while the contribution of its Origination (upstream) business decreased by half.

  • Louis Dreyfus Commodities
    N9-515-065 DECEMBER 12, 2014 DAVID E. BELL Louis Dreyfus Commodities In late 2014, the Louis Dreyfus company was at a crossroads. As seemed to be a constant in the company’s 163-year history, changes were underway in the ownership structure, and more significantly, major changes were occurring in the company’s primary business: the international buying and selling of agricultural commodities. In 2009 Robert Louis-Dreyfus, chairman of Louis Dreyfus and great-grandson of the founder, died of leukemia leaving the company in the trust of his widow, Margarita Louis-Dreyfus, for the ultimate benefit of their three sons. The complex ownership structure that Robert left behind had caused some upheaval and raised questions about the appropriate corporate strategy for the future. Dreyfus, the “D” in the ABCD of grain traders (ADM, Bunge and Cargill being the others) had enjoyed some spectacular returns in the years prior to 2014, and sales had reached $63 billion, but there were reasons to suppose the future would not be so rosy. China had grown in significance in world markets to the point where in soybeans and cotton more than half of all international grain flows were at their behest. While many Chinese corporations bought and sold in the world markets, these corporations ultimately reported to the government, which coordinated strategy. Chinese policy for some time had been that the country was working to be self–sufficient in food, but lately there were clear signs that they had accepted that long term importation was to be a fact of life. In early 2014 China had purchased majority shares in two large trading firms, Noble and Nidera (see Table 1 for a list of Ag trading firms).
