Four words describe ADM's integrated global transportation system: flexibility, efficiency, reliability and quality.
Our agricultural transportation system is a world leader. Access to this vast transportation network provides the flexibility to move ADM's assets with great efficiency wherever and whenever they are required. Our export and distribution centres in North America, South America, Europe and the Far East enable the ADM network to reach the world's major agricultural markets.
In agricultural transportation, quality is essential because it affects the profitability of our customers. Their products must make it through the transportation process in optimum condition to receive the best price from the market. ADM's access to a complete transportation system meets the highest standards for quality, safety and reliability, allowing for a quick and effective response to a customer's shipping needs.

ADM's multi-faceted fleet provides the
capability to transport products over river,
rail, ocean and land. If one mode of transportation reaches a bottleneck, ADM has the flexibility to transport that product via other means. Frequently, more than one form of transport is used to serve a customer, underscoring the importance of our vertically integrated structure to coordinate the process in a timely and efficient manner.
