  • Profile: Conagra
    profile: ConAgra ConAgra is a company few Americans have heard of, but it is a major force in food production in the US and a $20 billion dollar corporation. • First, and most notably, it is estimated to be the #3 seller of retail food products in the world (after Altria/Kraft and Nestle). Its brands are many, going from Armour to Wesson, a portfolio of brands it has collected over the past 20 years. It products are leaders in a number of categories. • It is the largest supplier to food services and restaurants. • The company is one of the top three buyers and processors of grain products (corn, wheat, etc.) and handles a significant portion of US grain exports. • It is a leader in producing cattle and hog feed. • Until 2000, when it spun off Swift & Co. to an investor group, it was one of the top three slaughterers of cattle and hog. It still has a 48% stake in that company. It is also a major client, buying meat for processing. • It remains one of the top three poultry processing companies. • It is a major supplier of flavoring (especially garlic) to the food industry. • It is one of the top world traders in agricultural products. • It has a considerable business in selling seeds, fertilizer, and agricultural chemicals around the world. The company is just starting to expand its operation worldwide. Along with a few other companies (Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland, Farmland) it forms an oligopsony toward many American farmers, so these companies are able to dictate prices and conditions to individual farmers.
