Bunge and Associated British Ports (ABP) announced today they have handled more than 1 million metric tonnes of grains and oilseeds through their storage and handling operations at the Port of Immingham since their partnership began in 2022.
The operation combines ABP’s port infrastructure with Bunge’s global sourcing, processing and logistics network to supply agricultural commodities to UK customers and connect local growers to international markets.
The collaboration started in 2022 with Shed 35, a purpose-built storage facility at Immingham’s Humber International Terminal. Strong demand led Bunge and ABP to expand with Shed 36, bringing total storage capacity to about 75,000 tonnes and creating one of the Humber region’s largest agribulk handling hubs.
“The UK’s agriculture sector depends on strong connections between producers, consumers and international markets,” said James Maw, UK country manager for Bunge. “Through the Bunge and ABP joint operations at the Port of Immingham, the terminal handles imports of essential feed ingredients, including certified sustainable PRO-S soya meal and sunflower meal, and has also handled exports of feed wheat, malting barley, beans and rye.”
Paul Litten, head of commercial (Humber) at ABP, said reaching 1 million tonnes handled through Humber International Terminal and Inner Dock for Bunge shows the strength of the partnership.
“We’re proud to have supported Bunge’s growth, providing the deep-water facilities and expertise that helps keep our supply chains moving,” Litten said.
The milestone reflects the role ports and shipping networks play in supporting food security and reliable supply chains. ABP’s Port of Immingham is the UK’s largest port by tonnage and connects the UK with international trade routes. The Humber International Terminal handles grain, biomass and other dry bulks.
Both companies plan to support further growth at the facility and meet the evolving needs of UK growers and customers across the agriculture, feed and food sectors.
