In addition to our all-encompassing strategy to attain supply chains free from deforestation by 2025, this program highlights the importance of ADM’s unique worldwide presence and our commitment to climate-smart and regenerative agriculture.
The International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) certified bean program of the Chicago-based corporation gave rise to the traceable soybean program. It makes use of cutting-edge technology to verify, trace, and separate participant beans from farmers to their final destination. Examples of this technology are FBN’s Gradable digital platform and ADM’s origination and transportation capabilities.
ADM announced that it plans to expand the program to more North American locations this year, giving interested farmers the chance to continue participating in existing and new global markets that generate greater value and preference for their crops. The successful pilot program delivered 2.4 million bus of fully traceable soybeans to European customer.
