Global presence

CHS is based in the United States, with headquarters near St. Paul, Minn. Employees based there support the cooperative’s business operations in energy, agronomy, grain marketing, animal feed, food and food ingredients, along with business solutions including financial and risk management services. CHS also owns petroleum refineries, processing plants, grain terminals, crop protection and crop nutrients facilities and ag retail business units across the U.S. to provide its owners with a direct link, where they live and work, from planting to harvest to consumers.

Simply put, CHS sells the agronomy products farmers need to grow healthy profitable crops. We provide the energy products farmers need to run and maintain their machinery and heat their homes. Then we buy the grains and livestock products farmers produce and facilitate distribution across the world.

Together, CHS employees working in customer service, at ag retail locations and throughout the supply chain at value-added processing, manufacturing and refining facilities across the U.S. and Canada serve more than 600,000 farmer-owners, 1,100 ag retail business units and agriculture and energy business customers.

In South America, CHS buys feed grains and oilseeds from local farmers and facilities, distributes fertilizer and markets ethanol. With headquarters in São Paulo, Brazil, and locations throughout Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, CHS is a trusted partner in the region.

Employees in South America have a strong knowledge of the local markets and crop conditions. They are continually coordinating trades with their colleagues in North America to meet demand and identify new market opportunities. Connections with local growers also provide a dependable supply of confectionary sunflowers, corn, soybeans and wheat to keep CHS customers supplied year-round.

In recent years, CHS investments in the region through local assets and joint ventures have helped generate efficiency and stability to support local growers and other customers. CHS has access to major ports in the region. And as always, CHS employees in South America are focused on doing business with integrity while building trusted, lasting partnerships that will sustain the cooperative into the future.
