Bunge Global SA has reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results, marking its first full year following the completion of its transformational combination with Viterra.
The agribusiness group said 2025 was a year of major structural change, with expanded processing capacity, higher merchandised volumes, and a broader global footprint across grains and oilseeds.
Full-year net income attributable to Bunge fell to $816 million, down from $1.14 billion a year earlier. Adjusted earnings per share for the year came in at $7.57, compared with $9.19 in 2024.
Despite lower headline profitability, Bunge reported higher adjusted EBIT across all operating segments, supported by increased volumes and integration gains following the Viterra transaction.
In the fourth quarter, adjusted EBIT rose across the company’s soybean, softseed, oilseeds, and grain merchandising businesses. Management said performance was driven by disciplined execution and the company’s expanded origination and logistics network.
Soybean processing and refining volumes increased significantly during the year, supported by expanded capacity in South America, particularly Argentina and Brazil. Softseed processing volumes also rose, reflecting additional assets and capabilities gained through the Viterra combination in Europe, Canada, and Argentina.
Grain merchandising and milling volumes increased sharply year-on-year, driven by a larger global handling footprint and strong global grain harvests. Bunge said higher wheat and barley merchandising partially offset weaker corn trading performance.
For 2026, the group expects adjusted earnings per share in the range of $7.50 to $8.00, signalling a more stable margin environment but continued uncertainty linked to global markets and geopolitics.
Why It Matters
Bunge’s results matter for the grocery and FMCG supply chain because the company sits at the centre of global grain and edible oil flows.
The integration with Viterra has materially expanded Bunge’s origination, processing, and logistics reach, strengthening its role as a key supplier of soy oil, softseed oils, wheat, and other staple inputs used across food manufacturing and private-label production.
Higher processing volumes and expanded capacity can influence ingredient availability and pricing, particularly in edible oils and milling products, at a time when retailers and suppliers remain sensitive to cost volatility.
Bunge’s capital investment plans for 2026, alongside its more balanced geographic footprint, suggest continued focus on scale and resilience rather than aggressive margin expansion.
For supermarket groups, brand manufacturers, and private-label suppliers, Bunge’s performance provides an important signal on upstream stability in grains and oils as the market moves through 2026.
