About ADM
Odds are that something you've eaten today was made with at least one ingredient that came from ADM. Cereals, sodas, juices, candy, dairy, meat - ADM provides ingredients for all of these.
The Decatur, Illinois based firm operates in three main segments: Oilseeds Processing, Corn Processing, and Agricultural Services. Revenues were divided as follows:
Oilseeds Processing: 43%
Corn Processing: 13%
Agricultural Services: 36%
Other: 8%
Total processing volumes increased 7.0% from the same quarter in 2009, driven by 17.7% growth in corn processing. Despite the volume increase, net sales declined 5.0% due in large part to lower commodity prices.

Operating profit in its oilseeds processing division increased 58% from the same quarter in 2009. Its corn processing and agricultural services divisions both went from negative profitability in Q4'09 to solid profitability in 2010.
