Submit ideas

Dear Valued Supplier,

As we continue down the path to becoming the “partner of choice”, we recognize the critical role our suppliers play in making this a reality. With that in mind, we would like to hear your innovative solutions that can drive efficiencies, standardization and profitability for Cargill, our customers, and our valued supply partners. To submit your idea, fill out the Idea Submission Form as completely as you can. This ensures we understand your idea and can give it a comprehensive review. Please note that all information you provide is on a non-confidential basis.

After completing the form, you will receive an e-mail confirmation that we have received your form. The Cargill Corn Milling supplier innovation team will then review your submission. Submissions are reviewed each year in March, and depending on the complexity of your idea, you will hear from us soon there after. After the review period, we will make every effort to contact you and let you know the status of your idea. Cargill is not obligated to reveal the details of its evaluation.

In order to submit an idea please select from the following two options:

  • General idea submission form
    A "General" idea is one that is non-confidential and freely available for anyone to use.  It is an idea that is NOT covered by a patent or patent application
  • Technology patent idea submission form
    A "Technology" idea is one covered by a patent or patent application, regardless of where it has been filed or issued.
