Louis Dreyfus Company B.V. (Rotterdam Netherlands; private; founded 1851 by Léopold Louis-Dreyfus in Alsace; ~$53B revenue FY2024; majority owned by Margarita Louis-Dreyfus) is one of the four ABCD global grain trading firms and a major soybean originator, trader, and processor. Louis Dreyfus's soybean operations are concentrated in Brazil (Mato Grosso, Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul origination; Paranaguá and Santos export terminals) and Argentina (Rosario/Paraná River corridor — Quebracho terminal). Louis Dreyfus was among the first Western commodity traders to establish a major Brazil origination presence in the 1990s, financing grain storage infrastructure for Brazilian soybean farmers in exchange for first-right-of-purchase contracts. In 2023, LDC expanded its Brazilian soybean book as Argentina's drought displaced Argentine supply. LDC also operates significant soybean meal export from Querétaro, Mexico and trades soybeans across Southeast Asian destinations. Louis Dreyfus remains one of the few major commodity traders still wholly family-controlled after 170+ years.
