PERDUE AGRIBUSINESS – At Home on the Farm and Around the Globe
Helping customers prosper with flexible, forward-thinking solutions for agriculturally based products from a uniquely trusted name.
 |
| Perdue AgriBusiness was formed as an independent operating company in 2010, but represents the oldest part of our business. Arthur W. Perdue started our company as a family farm, and for most of the first 40 years of our company's history, our customers were the farmers who purchased our chicks and feed. During those early years, our business grew through earning the trust of the agricultural community and establishing the foundation for what would become one of America's top grain companies.

| In the 1950s, a decade before the first PERDUE® branded chickens appeared in stores, Frank Perdue took the first major step in moving Perdue ahead of its competitors: building grain receiving facilities and then in 1961, a soybean crushing plant. The move gave our poultry business the competitive advantage of acquiring grain directly from farmers, and positioned Perdue to become a major player in the grain and oilseed business. Frank's vision also transformed Eastern Shore agriculture, creating local demand for corn and soybeans that continues to help support the region's farm economy. Today, Perdue AgriBusiness purchases grain from more than 23,000 farmers from upstate New York south to Florida, and west to Kentucky.

While our reach is global, our company remains firmly rooted in the traditions of American agriculture going back to Arthur Perdue's family farm. With a "you grow it and we'll buy it" policy, Perdue AgriBusiness understands that our future is dependent upon the success of the farmers, and our ability to bring revenue back to the farm gate. |
