Minneapolis / MN. (cg) «A pivotal year». These words headline the letter from Cargill Chairman and CEO Dave MacLennan and Executive Vice President and CFO Marcel Smits to readers of Cargill Company’s 2016 Annual Report, issued this week.
Fiscal 2016 was a dynamic year inside and outside of Cargill. Long-term shifts in population, urbanization and climate have reshaped global food and agriculture, even as disruptive forces are at work in the market today.
