WHEAT FOR THE MIDDLE EAST AND THE CONTINENT OF AFRICA
A significant role falls to ADM in the added-value chains of the foodstuff and animal feed industry: Germany exports an average of 12.3 million tons of grain per year, including 9.1 million tons of wheat. ADM transports immense quantities of these from Germany’s North Sea and Baltic ports to the Middle East and Africa, where these play a crucial role in supplying the population with basic foodstuffs.
SITES IN GERMANY: POPULARITY OF TRANS- PORT BY INLAND WATERWAY CRAFT
Apart from deepsea shipping, trucking as well as
rail and inland shipping are of great importance for transport. Inland waterway craft are especially suitable for the transport of bulk cargo, and re- quire dependable water levels for smooth opera- tion. All sites are therefore connected to Germa- ny’s main waterways, the Rhine, Main, Danube and Elbe. ADM operates handling facilities for the import/export of bulk agricultural products in the ports of Hamburg and Rostock. The navigability and expansion of waterways are not simply essen- tial for environment-friendly transport of large quantities, but also for functioning international trade in agricultural commodities to the benefit of local agriculture. The Hamburg and Rostock sites participate in this handling. ■
