Item 2. Properties
Management believes that Seaboard’s present facilities are adequate and suitable for its current purposes. Seaboard’s principal properties by segment are described below:
(1)Pork - Seaboard’s Pork segment owns a pork processing plant in Oklahoma. It has a double-shift capacity to process approximately six million hogs annually and generally operates at capacity with additional weekend shifts depending on market conditions. Seaboard’s hog production operations can breed and raise approximately eight million hogs annually at facilities it primarily owns or at facilities owned and operated by third parties with whom it has grower contracts. This segment owns and operates eight centrally located feed mills, which have a combined capacity to produce approximately three million tons of formulated feed annually. These facilities are located in Iowa, Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Colorado. This segment also owns nine renewable natural gas production sites located on certain of its existing hog farms. The production capacity at each site varies and depends on specific farm site factors, including the number of barns and hog count. Most sites are in the early stages of operations.
(2)Commodity Trading and Milling - Seaboard’s CT&M segment operates milling facilities at 14 locations in ten countries and has ten trading offices in nine countries. The milling facilities located in Ecuador, Ghana, Guyana, Mozambique, Peru, Republic of the Congo and Zambia own the land and plants. There are additional milling facilities located in Ivory Coast, Republic of the Congo, Senegal, Zambia and Nigeria where the land is leased under long-term agreements. The milling facilities produce approximately two million metric tons of wheat flour, maize meal, manufactured feed and oilseed crush commodities per year in addition to other related grain-based products. Certain foreign milling operations may operate at less than full capacity due to low demand, unstable power, excess milling capacity in their competitive environment or imported flour. Seaboard’s CT&M segment owns three 18,900 metric ton deadweight dry bulk vessels and charters between 34 to 46 bulk vessels on an annual basis with deadweights of up to 65,000 metric tons under short-term agreements.
(3)Marine - Seaboard’s Marine segment leases approximately 297,000 square feet of off-port warehouse space and 87 acres of port terminal land and facilities in Miami, Florida, which are used in its containerized cargo operations. Seaboard’s Marine segment also leases an approximate 77-acre cargo handling and marine terminal facility in Houston, Texas, which includes several warehouses totaling approximately 648,000 square feet for cargo storage. The Marine segment owns eight ocean cargo vessels with deadweights of up to approximately 53,000 metric tons. Six new dual-fueled vessels are under construction and planned to be completed in 2025. Also, as of December 31, 2024, this segment charters 15 vessels under contracts with a remaining average term of eight months with deadweights of up to approximately 34,700 metric tons. Seaboard’s Marine segment owns or leases dry, refrigerated and specialized containers and other related equipment.
(4)Liquid Fuels - The Liquid Fuels segment owns biodiesel plants in Oklahoma and Missouri, with the capacity to produce up to 46 million gallons and 32 million gallons annually, respectively, and a renewable diesel plant in Kansas with capacity to produce 85 million gallons annually. The renewable diesel plant began operations in 2022 but has experienced operational issues and began operating with consistent production during 2024. The segment owns a terminal facility in California with a maximum throughput capacity to store and distribute approximately 300 million gallons of fuel per year. The renewable diesel and terminal facilities have solar arrays that can generate up to a total of 20 megawatts of electricity, which is used to support the facilities’ energy needs.
(5)Power - Seaboard’s Power segment owns two power-generating barges that are secured on the Ozama River in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. EDM II and EDM III can generate approximately 108 megawatts and 150 megawatts, respectively, of electricity.
(6)Turkey - Seaboard’s Turkey segment had a total of three processing plants, three further processing plants and numerous company and third-party live production facilities and feed milling operations, located in North Carolina, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas as of December 31, 2024. These facilities have the capacity to produce approximately one billion pounds of turkey annually. Butterball closed its Jonesboro, Arkansas further processing plant effective
February 3, 2025. Although capacity to meet core further processing demand is sufficient, Butterball uses third-party copacker arrangements to supplement portions of its portfolio where it either does not maintain specialized competencies, or to meet demand beyond its internal production capacity.
