From “farm to fork” refers to the journey agricultural goods and industrial materials embark on, from their place of origination to the end consumer. The journey sounds simple, but in reality the supply chain is complex and needs to be managed with precision and care.
Increasing our control over the journey from farm to fork is the way we protect supply, offering our customers strong security and value.
In South & Southeast Asia, we invest in origination, processing, and logistic assets at strategic locations for each commodity. Our business focuses specifically on:
While operating our business activities, we are also continuously managing business risks. This includes anticipating and responding to any circumstances that may arise, or potentially impact, supply.
Maintaining an active presence across the supply chain.
