Cargill in our daily life
A look at a typical day will showcase
just some of the ways in which
Cargill touches our daily life, often
in unexpected ways.
6:00 am
Start the day by brushing your teeth. The
sweetness in your toothpaste comes from sorbitol
that also prevents it from drying out even if you
forget to put the cap back on. Sorbitol is one of
Cargill’s range of ingredients.
6:45 am
Feel refreshed with a hot cup of milk, tea or coffee.
Sweeten your morning cup of beverage with sugar
sourced by Cargill.
8:00 am
Breakfast time. Tuck into delicious aloo paratha,
fluffy bread with sweet jam or mayonnaise and a
healthy bowl of sprouts – all made from oil, wheat,
pectin, starch and chick peas provided by Cargill.
The fats used in bread enhance the taste and make
it crispier and fluffier. The pectin in jam makes it
smooth and spreadable while mayonnaise owes its
thickness to starch.
5:00 pm
Tea time. Have samosa or any other besan-based snack with tomato
ketchup. Cargill’s range of edible oils used for frying can make you feel
light and healthy. Pulses marketed by Cargill could be used to make
the besan. An ingredient called xanthan gum, a part of Cargill’s food
ingredients, stabilizes and thickens the tomato ketchup.
Or perhaps opt for guilt-free indulgence with sugar-free biscuits and
candies that contain maltitol and isomalt. Both maltitol and isomalt are
polyols, naturally good and low-to zero-calorie sweeteners supplied by
Cargill. Isomalt also enhances the texture and crunchiness.
8
7:00 am
7:45 am
Catch up with news
from your favourite
newspaper that is
printed with ink
containing soybean
oil, a widely used
ingredient in the
printing industry. The
oil allows for faster
drying of the ink.
Time to get dressed
for the day. Put on cool
comfortable cotton
clothes. Chances are
that the cotton in the
fabric has been traded by
Cargill, one of the world’s
leading cotton traders.
10:30 am
1:00 pm
Enjoy a snack. Drink a hot
chocolate or malt-based
beverage with a biscuit or
cookie. The cocoa powder
in the hot chocolate, the
malt derived from barley
and millets, the wheat in the
biscuit and fats in the cookie
are all part of Cargill’s range of
ingredients.
Lunch time. Whether you are eating at home, in the
office, at a fast food joint or at a restaurant, there is
a good chance that your meal has rice, pulses and
wheat supplied by Cargill, chicken and fish reared on
Cargill feed and curries cooked in our oils. Your afterlunch mouth refreshment such as chewing gum has a
key ingredient called lecithin, which softens it to the
desired consistency, which is also a part of Cargill’s food
ingredient portfolio.
6:30 pm
8:30 pm
A workout at the
gym. Take an energy
drink to replace
fluids and minerals.
Its low-calorie
content comes from
a polyol such as
erythritol, another
ingredient from
Cargill’s range of
healthy sweeteners.
Dinner with a menu that features many
Cargill offerings - stabilized starches in the
soup to enhance thickness, texture and
mouth-feel and the millets, sorghum and
soybean in the multi-grain atta. Round
off the meal with a sweet treat such as a
frozen dessert. Emulsifiers, yet another
ingredient from Cargill’s portfolio, render
the texture, taste, creaminess and
mouth-feel to your dessert.

Cotton
Cotton
Cargill Cotton, one of the world’s largest
and oldest cotton businesses, is respected
for its experience, expertise, reliability and
commitment to customers. Cargill’s cotton
business can be traced back to 1851 when

(formerly Calcutta) and Mumbai (formerly
Bombay). Ralli Brothers was bought over
by Cargill in 1981 and in 2002, the name of
the cotton business was changed to Cargill
Cotton.
India is the world’s second largest

Our operations in India form an important

Improving food and
nutrition security
We contribute to food security by providing consumers with nutritious food that helps improve diets for healthier
lives. We collaborate with partners in the public and private sectors to find long-term solutions to hunger and
malnutrition to ensure people have access to safe, nutritious and affordable food.
32
Fortifying edible oil
Food fortification is one of the most effective ways to deliver micronutrients to large population groups as edible oil is consumed by
almost 99 percent of households in India. We fortify our packaged
refined edible oils produced in India with the essential vitamins A, D
and E. At present, we reach approximately 25 million consumers with
our fortified oils. The cost of fortification is absorbed by us and not
passed on to our consumers.
Enabling food banks
Together with Global Food Banking Network and Aidmatrix
Foundation, we have established the India Food Banking Network
and the first food bank of India—Delhi Food Banking Network.
The food bank is expected to harness the partnership between
government and private sector to augment existing initiatives as well
as develop new models in food distribution. It will allow donors to
gain access to safe and efficient distribution channel that provides an
outlet and an effective system for donated or procured food to reach
those who need it the most. We are working towards setting up more
food banks across India.
Fighting malnutrition
Cargill is working together with the government in Madhya Pradesh
to improve food security and nutrition in the state, which has one
of India’s highest concentrations of hunger and malnutrition. The
‘Fast Track Nutrition’ project provides health and nutrition training,
promotes safe drinking water and sanitation, and helps create
kitchen gardens to improve nutritional intake and provide income.
The project is supported by CARE and helps local villages accelerate
the delivery of health and nutrition programs.

Providing emergency food aid
Cargill’s donation of 10,000 metric tons of rice, sourced from
India, helped support World Food Program(WFP) USA’s efforts to
fight hunger and malnutrition in the Horn of Africa. The donation
underscores Cargill’s unique business capabilities to move food from
areas of surplus to areas of need every day, and commitment to
improve global food security. Cargill sourced the entire shipload of
rice from India, bagged it and managed the ocean transportation and
logistics. The rice helped feed nearly 1 million people for one month.
Engaging policy stakeholders
In association with our partners such as Global Alliance for Improved
Nutrition (GAIN) and World Food Program(WFP), Cargill engages
with key stakeholders including the central and state governments
to advocate for food fortification and to make fortified food available
through the government–run public distribution systems.

and livelihoods
A five-year partnership between Cargill and CARE, a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty,
focuses on addressing underlying causes of poverty in the district of Kutch in Gujarat through
Kutch Livelihood Education Advancement Project.
34
The economy of Gujarat is among the fastest growing in
India. Yet, illiteracy and extreme poverty persist in Kutch.
Through the US$ 2.5 million Kutch Livelihood Education
Advancement Project (K-LEAP), the five-year CargillCARE partnership is working to improve the quality and
accessibility of primary education for more than 40,000
children, while promoting economic opportunities and
increased incomes for 9,000 rural families. The project
was launched in 2008.
Improving milk production
Most farmers in Kutch depended on subsistence
farming when the project began. As dairy farmers
could produce only a limited amount of milk, the area
lost its market with the National Dairy Development
Board. We worked to bring farmers together to pool their
milk supplies at collection stations and negotiated with
the Board to reinstate agreements and purchase milk
again. Farmer incomes have increased by 400 percent
ever since.
With better farming practices and a market for their milk, dairy farmers have increased
milk production 100 percent and quadrupled their incomes
Providing girls with access to education
As a part of K-LEAP, we are working to improve girls’
access to education, recognizing it as the cornerstone of
empowerment. When we began our work with Kasturba
Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya in Kodki village, there were only
17 students. Today, 85 students are enrolled. Based on
this success, we expanded our education improvement
outreach to include more than 130 schools, providing
science demonstration kits, textbooks, teacher training,
sports equipment and new curriculum to improve
students’ success.
Cargill is supporting schools to provide a model of how education can be
imparted innovatively. An activity that has empowered girls is riding bicycles
Empowering women
Women in Kutch were traditionally confined to their
homes, with limited ability to even socialize with
other women in their community. We recognized an
opportunity to motivate them to invest in their own
future by organizing self-help groups. Seed money
from Cargill’s donation is now provided to the groups.
With that, they are able to pool their own resources
and distribute micro-loans for various purposes
including purchase of farm equipment, setting up small
enterprises and meeting personal needs. Today, more
than 5,000 women in Kutch are members of self-help
groups and are working to reduce poverty caused by
limited access to credit.
Through K-LEAP, women are being trained to improve the quality of their
stitching so that their work can qualify for export

development
We invest and support programs that focus on improving nutrition and health, education and environment in
communities where we live and operate.

Aiding education for underprivileged children
We support the Pragati Vatika School in Gurgaon by funding all school
expenses and improving infrastructure to help the school cope with rising
demand. The school has over 300 children of daily wage laborers. Our
employees volunteer as teachers and mentors.
We support Rural Development Foundation (RDF), an NGO that runs five
schools and one junior college in the rural areas of Andhra Pradesh. At
least 700 students in the RDF Kalleda School have been able to continue
their education while 25 students in RDF Matendla School have benefited
through direct sponsorships.
In partnership with NGO, ASED (Action for the support of deprived
children), we have improved transportation, built more classrooms and
set up computer and English-learning laboratories for 1200 students
in Pardada Pardadi Girls Vocational School in Anoopshahr, Uttar
Pradesh.
Support with school van
has encouraged enrolment of girls
We supported the Rabbani School in Madhya Pradesh’s Susera village with
a school bus, classrooms and sanitation facilities. The school, with 400
students, is a center for education and practical training in agricultural
practices and animal farming. The project was implemented by ASED.
We supported the Rajanagaram Zilla Parishad School in Rajahmundry,
Andhra Pradesh, by building a multi-purpose hall to serve the needs of both
teachers and students. The school is managed by the government and has
950 students.
Alleviating urban poverty
Building on Cargill’s global relationship with United Way International, we
provide leadership, financial and administrative support to United Way Delhi.
United Way Delhi works towards strengthening livelihood, improving health
and providing access to education in urban underprivileged communities.
Providing care to kids of construction workers
We support Mobile Crèches, an NGO, to ensure a healthy and secure
daycare environment for children of labourers who work at construction
sites. These daycare centres create favorable conditions for their cognitive
development by providing nutritious food and basic education. We also
support Mobile Crèches for providing skill-building opportunities to the
mothers and for creating awareness among stakeholders on issues affecting
these women and children.

Training in modern animal husbandry
We provide farmers the knowledge and tools they need to improve the
productivity and health of their animals. The initiative has benefited 25,000
dairy, poultry and aqua farmers across the southern and western regions of
India.
Extending support in times of crisis
As a member of the Corporate Disaster Resource Network, we provide
leadership in bringing corporates into the fold of the National Disaster
Management Authority for joint response to any disaster. We have
distributed food and funds during the super-cyclone and flash floods in
Odisha and floods in Bihar and Leh.
