Who it serves
Buyers of oils and protein meals, animal-feed manufacturers and international customers for grain and processed products.
How the business works
Crushing produces several saleable outputs from one raw material. Margin analysis compares their combined value with the cost of buying, processing and delivering the grain. Trading grain without crushing has different economics.
What drives this activity
Grain availability, processing yields, relative prices, energy, freight and inventory financing matter. A higher selling price may coincide with an even larger increase in raw-material costs.

Customers, operations & revenue
Molinos Agro buys and processes grains and oilseeds into oils and protein meals for different markets. Industry adds value through separation, logistics and marketing. Grain prices explain much of gross sales, while processing results depend on the combined value of the resulting products.
What shapes business performance
Crushing margins, processing volume and plant utilisation are more informative than nominal sales alone. Harvest supply, freight and trade terms affect sourcing and shipments. Grain stocks and collection periods can create substantial financing needs even with positive operating margins.
