In Brazil, we process and sell soybeans, corn, cocoa and sorghum, and produce fertilizers, biofuels and chemicals. ADM began operations in Brazil in 1997 after purchasing several crushing plants, grain elevators and silos. Today, we have more than 2, 000 employees in Brazil and own or lease grain elevators in five states, including 15 in Mato Grosso, six in Mato Grosso do Sul, seven in Sonora Goias, 11 in Minas Gerais and three in Sao Paulo. Our elevator system, part of a network of 80 silos in Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia, delivers crops from production areas to our processing plants in Brazil, Europe and Asia. Our ADM-Joanes cocoa processing facility in Ilheus, Bahia, is one of the largest in Brazil, producing cocoa powder, cocoa liquor, cocoa butter and cake ingredients for Brazilian and international markets. ADM also operates five fertilizer blending facilities in Campo Grange, Catalão, Paranaguá, Rio Grande and Rondonopolis. Our agronomists work with customers in Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and Uruguay to formulate fertilizer products that are customized for the type of soil in each area. Brazil is also a major global source of biofuels. As the world seeks more energy from renewable sources, the country has become the world&＃039;s largest distiller of ethanol from sugar cane.
