Executive Summary
Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:
The edible oils manufacturing industry includes about 200 companies with combined annual revenue of $38 billion. Major companies include Archer Daniels Midland, ConAgra, Cargill Foods, and CHS. The industry is highly concentrated: the 50 largest companies account for about 70 percent of industry revenue.
Edible oils manufacturing includes wet-milling corn (separating corn into its basic components); processing soybeans, tree nuts, and vegetables into oil; refining vegetable fats; and blending vegetable fats with purchased animal fats. This industry doesn't include companies that render or refine animal fats, wet-mill corn into ethyl alcohol, or mill-dry corn for flour.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Demand is driven by consumer trends in consuming sweeteners, fats, and food oils, and in eating meat, since soybean meal is used primarily to feed poultry, swine, and cattle. The profitability of individual companies depends on managing raw material costs, leveraging federal farm subsidies, and operating efficiently. Large companies have advantages in purchasing, distribution, and marketing. Small operations can compete effectively by serving a local market or offering specialized products. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is $1.5 million.
PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY
Major products include soybean cake and meal (40 percent of the market); shortening and cooking oils (20 percent); and corn sweeteners (20 percent). Other products include margarine, butter blends, butter substitutes, and soybean oil.
To produce soybean meal and oil, beans are transported by truck or rail to a soybean processing facility. ...
