IP - Traceability and grains traders: ADM, Bunge, Cargill, Dreyfus

Résumé En Fr

In recent years, the cereals and oilseeds world trade, as well as the first processing industry, has been characterized by an increasing degree of reorganization. World grain trade is currently focused on the quartet called ABCD: Archel Danields Midland (ADM), Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus. These multinational companies are located in production and consumption areas. In addition to the important role that these stakeholders play in the world grain trade management, they are the clear leaders in the first processing sectors. The problems associated with feed or food safety incidents, have sparked a rising concern for traceability. These events have brought to light the need for quality and food safety insurance programs. Indeed, companies like "ABCD" have decided to create Identity Preservation systems to meet consumer demands.

Ces dernières années, le commerce international de céréales et oléoprotéagineux, ainsi que leur première transformation, a connu un important processus de réorganisation. Résultat de ce processus, le commerce mondial et la première transformation d'oléo-protéagineux sont actuellement concentrés autour de quatre grandes multinationales, appellées ABCD : Archel Danields Midland (ADM), Bunge, Cargill et Louis Dreyfus. Ces entreprises sont localisées tant dans les pays d'exportation que dans les principaux pays importateurs. Pour résoudre des problèmes associés à la qualité sanitaire des aliments, ces entreprises ont investi dans des systèmes de traçabilité, d'assurance-qualité, et dans de systèmes de type IP(Identity Preservation).
