APAC Insider- Singapore Business Awards 2024 | 22 Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, ADM is not only one of the world’s largest nutrition companies but also a leading agricultural origination and processing enterprise. The company’s purpose is to unlock the power of nature, creating solutions that have the potential to enhance the quality of life of people and animals across the world. Here, we explore ADM’s remarkable work following its success in the Singapore Business Awards 2024. Striving to connect the entire value chain from field to product, ADM operates based on three core beliefs: that everyone has the right to access the food they need to sustain their lives, that food from nature drives the health and wellness of the world’s population, and that providing people with access to nutrition could solve many of the world’s challenges. These ideas drive the company towards its purpose of utilising the resources nature has to offer to create solutions for safe, healthy, and sustainable nutrition. Equipped with a vast portfolio of ingredients and a wealth of technical expertise in flavour formulation, ADM helps manufacturers and brands to develop innovative nutrition solutions for people and animals across the globe. ADM transforms crops into ingredients, foods, beverages, and supplements, and offers a comprehensive range of solutions and services for livestock, aquaculture, and pets. Now, having operated within the nutrition industry for more than 75 years, ADM possesses a wealth of knowledge in its field, as well as up-to-date insights, modern facilities, and innovation expertise. These factors provide the company with an unparalleled ability to meet the world’s food, beverage, health, and wellness needs. The company has worked tirelessly to enhance its capabilities over the years, aiming to sustainably manage and add value to every aspect of the supply chain in nutrition. With a global network connecting over 200,000 farmers to customers, ranging from multinational consumer packaged goods companies to budding food and beverage startups, the organisation’s scale, leveraged in combination with valuable local insights, provides customers with a significant advantage, enabling them to stay ahead of the curve. ADM provides its customers with a valuable end-to-end partnership, guided by scientific expertise, research, and indepth consumer insights. The company is equipped with a state-of-the-art research hub in Biopolis, Singapore, which features a vast range of tools and technologies designed to support customers’ product development projects. For example, the facility has a Protein Innovation Lab as well as comprehensive analytic and application labs for beverage, savoury, bakery, and confectionary products. In 2022, ADM collaborated with Temasek’s Nurasa to launch a joint venture, ScaleUp Bio, which aims to provide food technology companies with end-to-end contract development and organisation services in microbial fermentation. Currently, ScaleUp Bio is preparing for the launch of its new facility in the Tuas district, which aims to provide technological development and precision fermentation services to companies looking to scale up their production of bio-based products like alternative proteins. Through this, ScaleUp Bio intends to fulfil the growing consumer demand in Singapore and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

The first report in this series, titled “ADM’s 2024 Flavour & Colour Outlook report”, was released in Q3 2023, exploring shifts in consumer preferences when it comes to flavour and colour in food and beverages. Moving forward, these reports will continue to use ADM’s Global Trends Framework to identify key market growth drivers and provide manufacturers and brands with insights, helping them to innovate and stay ahead in the market. The next report, “Replacement Isn’t the Future. Variety Is.”, will explore new technologies and solutions that cater to consumer demands for variety, discovery, and sustainability.
