With a global network of processing, storage, and transportation assets, ADM has scale advantages over regional competitors. Its trading operations are often able to generate arbitrage opportunities from extensive market knowledge produced by the global origination and logistics network.
Grain merchandisers, including ADM, will continue to face structural headwinds as farmers and grain buyers have better access to price information. This will limit trading profits over the long term.
