The Andersons

The Andersons, Inc. is a diversified company operating in the North American agricultural sector. The company's business model is structured around two primary segments: Trading and Renewables. The Trading Group focuses on the merchandising of agricultural commodities, including whole grains and feed ingredients, providing risk management and logistics services to its customers. This segment serves grain elevators, livestock producers, and ethanol plants. The Renewables segment is involved in the production and sale of ethanol and its co-products, such as distillers' dried grains and corn oil. The company also operates a plant nutrient business, which manufactures and distributes a wide range of fertilizers, and other soil amendments for the agricultural and turf markets. The Andersons' revenue is generated through the sale of these products and services, with its diversified operations providing a hedge against market volatility in any single segment.
