Bunge Global SA’s shaking up how it reports its business after the Viterra merger.
The idea, they said, is to make stuff clearer and closer to how the thing actually runs day to day.
Now it’s split into four parts — Soybean Processing and Refining, Softseed Processing and Refining, Other Oilseeds Processing and Refining, and Grain Merchandising and Milling.
That’s more or less the real shape of the company now, how the managers see it when they walk in each morning.
They’ve also changed how sales and production get shown.
Bunge said that should help folks see better how much oilseed it crushes, how much oil it refines, and how much grain it sells out the door.
After The Merger
The Viterra agreement ends in July 2025.
Together they have the largest crop network – procurement, storage, shipping, you name it – in over 50 countries.
Farmers, food producers, supermarket suppliers – all are now tightly linked in one chain.
CEO Greg Heckman said the new layout helps show what’s really driving the numbers.
He said it’s basically the same way they already track things on the inside – just printed out this time.
2025 Forecast
Bunge’s updated its 2025 full-year outlook to include the Viterra bit.
Adjusted earnings per share now seen at $7.30 to $7.60, a little under the earlier $7.75 mark.
For the second half of the year, they’re calling $4.00 to $4.25 a share.
The change, they said, mostly comes from shifts in crop prices, energy, and freight costs.
More colour’s coming with Q3 results on Nov 5.
Stronger In The Food Chain
The goal is the same – connect farmers with eaters and keep food sustainable.
Bunge now has around 37,000 people, divided between the growth and processing areas.
Its oil and grains are used in cooking oil, baked goods, packaged foods – things people pick up every day.
The addition of Viterra, he says, gives the group a stronger hand when markets become volatile and prices start to jump.
Next Steps
The new reporting takes effect from the Q3 2025 numbers.
Figures from 2024 and early 2025 already redone to match the layout.
Bunge said this doesn’t change revenue or cash flow, only how the numbers are shown.
They reckon the merger and setup give a stronger base for growth long term, even if markets keep moving around.
For food producers and retailers, it should make costs and supply lines a bit easier to read heading into 2026.
