Archer Daniels Midland is moving beyond its agricultural roots, and for the multinational food processer and supplier, IT is proving a key ingredient for its transformation.
For its first 110 years, ADM traded and processed agricultural products such as oilseeds, beans, and corn, transforming them into oils, flours, and syrups, but around 2014, the company began a series of acquisitions in food technology, taking it into the production of more high-tech ingredients for human and animal nutrition, including plant proteins, flavoring, natural coloring, and enzymes.
