Whether people want to believe it or not, the four major grain merchants control 80% of the world's grain trading volume, and only they can set prices. It seems unfair, but it is more of a helplessness. In the context of global integration and restructuring, the international grain market is ahead.
The four major grain merchants occupy most of the international grain market with absolute advantages, control the grain trade of many countries, and maintain countless ties with many governments, thus further strengthening their position in the rivers and lakes. Nothing seems to stop them from attacking the city everywhere. The way is to occupy the grain market and control the grain market through futures. The most dangerous thing is that the four major grain merchants operate in a one-stop group, from the production links such as seeds and fertilizers to the establishment of their own transportation channels, and the whole chain is controlled.
It is precisely because of the chain development model that it is easier for the four major grain merchants to control food prices and profit from them. Bunge did not hesitate to attribute his miraculous performance to the high food prices in the international market. Although there are also investments in minerals, the agricultural sector has always been the strongest in Bangji. In 2007, the business in various regions increased, and in Europe and South America, the profit of grain development and oil crop processing increased; In North America, grain exports have greatly increased.
Although the four major grain producers control more than 80% of the world's agricultural trade, their influence is beyond doubt as long as they are willing to move in one direction tacitly. Therefore, many people are worried that the free trade system of agricultural products will face collapse, so governments all over the world take actions to protect their own food security. Ge Noren, chairman and president of Cargill Investment (China) Co., Ltd., once said that there is a competitive relationship among the four major grain merchants, and it is difficult to form a unified interest trend without a cooperative organization like the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
However, the energy of the four major grain merchants can not be underestimated, and the reactions of various countries are not groundless. This also proves the strength and influence of the four major grain merchants on the one hand. In the international grain market environment based on competition, it is difficult for the powerful four grain merchants to surpass them, and their next actions will also attract close attention from all countries.
