Cargill takes pride in being a player in the trading business since the late 1880s. We credit our steady growth to skillful risk management, ethical practices, and the talent and expertise of our employees. This has built Cargill into one of the best trading schools in the industry.

Our culture encourages empowering employees to make decisions, collaborate across trading commodity desks, build hands-on experience, and pursue international careers. Cargill’s trading business is highly diversified, which means access and exposure to an array of markets, commodities and regions.

We believe that our employees have a lot to learn from each other, which means Cargill’s trading environment is one of constant development. We seek and encourage diversity of thought, courage and conviction. Each of our unique backgrounds contributes toward a robust understanding of global markets, and consequently helps us develop effective trading strategies and relationships with customers.

This is what employees who have joined us recently say about the culture they found in Cargill: 

 

‘There is strong commitment to this business as we have been in it longer than most and we have staying power; we are a seasoned player with a global footprint. I also like the collegial atmosphere. The business units work really well together.’  –K. Lande

 

‘Cargill is a company that has its origins in trading. Since its inception in 1865, buying and selling grain has expanded into a global proprietary commodities trading house, covering everything from oil to carbon to agricultural commodities. With ever-increasing demand for global commodities, Cargill’s strong focus on physical commodity markets as well as financial instruments is one of the key reasons why I joined this company.’  –G.
