Page "Bunge y Born" Paragraph 8

The company was converted into the Bermuda-registered Bunge International in 1994, retaining the Bunge y Born name only in Argentina.

Bunge remained a privately held company of 180 shareholders ( including the longtime controlling family interests ) and divested itself in 1998 of almost all its retail foods interests in favor of a greater role in international agribusiness and commodity markets ; by then the company's gross annual turnover had reached US $ 13 billion.

Bunge ultimately went public on the NYSE in 2001, becoming Bunge Limited.
