Cargill benefited from increased consumption of meat, corn and soybeans, especially from China. High demand has led to jumps in agricultural markets, increasing the profits of producers and traders in goods. What is good for Cargill and his colleagues, however, is a headache for consumer companies and ultimately for households, which are facing the highest food inflation in the last decade.
