Juan Luciano, chairman and CEO of Archer Daniels Midland Company
(NYSE: ADM), today issued the following statement regarding the
death of Dwayne O. Andreas, who led the company as its chairman
from 1970 to 1999.
“We were deeply saddened to learn of Mr. Andreas’ passing. Under
his many years of leadership, our company became a global leader in
agricultural processing.
“When Mr. Andreas was elected the company’s chairman and chief
executive officer in 1970, ADM employed 3,000 people and owned 40
processing plants, primarily throughout the U.S. Midwest. When he
retired as chairman of ADM’s Board of Directors in 1999, the
company employed more than 23,000 people and owned 274 processing
plants around the world.
“During his lifetime, Mr. Andreas passionately believed in
agriculture’s ability to address hunger among the world’s poor. He
used his deep understanding of global markets and extraordinary
business acumen to support policies and programs that helped food
reach people in resource-scarce regions. After President John F.
Kennedy appointed him to the American Food for Peace Council, Mr.
Andreas was quoted saying: ‘Food knows no boundaries. We are in the
international age of agriculture.’
“On behalf of ADM’s 32,000 colleagues around the world, I extend
condolences to the entire Andreas family.”
