History
Cargill began its entry into the market in 1953 when it acquired Kerr Gifford & Co., a grain trading firm that had used a team of agents in Japan to sell grain to Japanese brokers from its home base in the United States. In 1956, Cargill purchased the agency, creating an opportunity to sell grain directly into Japans market through Japanese brokers.
With an established presence in Japan, Cargill built a bulk grain storage facility in Kawasaki on Tokyo Bay to handle incoming ships holding up to 52,200 tons of imported grain
Cargill provides animal proteins, grains, oilseeds, beverage ingredients, and other products. Cargill Japan also offers transportation, risk management, and other services.
Then, in 1987, Japans trading houses staged a boycott to protest the involvement of Cargill, a foreign business, in the country. To help gain acceptance and demonstrate its support of Japanese business, Cargill bought two million shares of stock in Showa Sangyo, a large Japanese food processor. Cargill began selling soybeans directly to Showa and, eventually, the boycott came to an end.
In 1995, it became the first non-Japanese company licensed by the Japanese government to sell grain directly into the country.
