Executive Summary
Brief Excerpt from Industry Overview Chapter:
The US grain milling industry includes about 250 companies with combined annual revenue of about $12 billion. Major companies include Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Cargill, ConAgra, and General Mills. The industry is highly concentrated: the top 50 companies account for about 90 percent of industry revenue.
Grain milling is the milling of flour and rice; the malting of grains (primarily barley); and the mixing of prepared flour mixes and dough. Breakfast cereal manufacturing is covered in its own industry profile.

Large companies have advantages in advanced milling technology and a diversified product line. Small operations can compete effectively by specializing in organic, non-genetically modified, or heirloom grains. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is about $800,000.
PRODUCTS, OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY
