What Viterra UK Ltd does

Viterra UK Ltd is a UK-incorporated agricultural commodity trading and logistics entity headquartered in Thame, Oxfordshire, operating as a subsidiary of Bunge Global SA following the 2025 completion of the Bunge-Viterra merger. The company sources grains, oilseeds, pulses, and oats from UK farmers spanning Northern Scotland to Southern England and is a major distributor and exporter of grains, oilseeds, and proteins. It also acts as a key importer of protein meals and vegetable oils, supplying UK customers and worldwide markets.

Its core operations include grain and oilseed merchandising, animal feed product supply, protein and vegetable oil imports/exports, and storage and handling services delivered through strategically located port and terminal facilities—principally the Portland deep-water port (220,000 sq ft warehouse capacity with quayside access), Teesside, and Humberside. The company operates two proprietary digital trading platforms: Grainman, a 24/7 online platform for farmers to sell grain, track movements and payments, and view futures markets; and CornXchange, which provides account management, grain movement tracking, and payment monitoring for traders and consumers.

Viterra UK generates revenue through commodity merchandising transactions (grains, oilseeds, pulses, oats, protein meals, and vegetable oils) on a transaction-fee basis, complemented by managed storage and handling services at port terminals. The customer base spans UK farmers, animal feed manufacturers, and food and biofuel industry customers. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales and merchandising with self-service digital channels. Certifications including TASCC (Portland and Thame), EFISC-GTP, Bunge PRO-S, and ISCC EU underpin compliance with UK and EU feed/food safety and biofuel sustainability frameworks.
