We transform natural products into a complete portfolio of ingredients and flavors for foods and beverages, supplements, nutrition for pets and livestock and more. And with an array of capabilities across every part of the global food chain, we give our customers an edge in solving global challenges of today and tomorrow.
Local actions. Global impact.
Coast Grain connects the producers on the world's farms and the consumers facing brands on our tables. Consumers around the world have made it clear that they expect their food and drink to come from sustainable ingredients, produced by companies that share their values like we do.
We are working across our own operations and leveraging our role as a major merchandiser of sustainable crops. We are focused on sustainable farming practices, traceability, and energy efficiency. Upstream, through our sustainable procurement policies and engagement with growers, Coast Grain helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and advance sustainable agriculture practices.
Downstream, Coast Grain researchers are innovating bio-based material solutions and building a portfolio of sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based products.
