The paper has the central objective of identifying the structures, the geoeconomic strategies of global regionalization of the main trading companies in the world. Currently, the world grain trade is centered on just five giant companies: Archel Danields Midland (ADM), Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus, the famous ABCD, and the China Oil and Foodstuffs Corporation (Cofco). To achieve this objective, descriptive information was chosen for a quantitative comparison only. Thus, it was possible to affirm that the geographical detachment of the five big trading companies and the increase both in physical facilities and in the volume of agricultural commodities traded to new areas is not uncorrelated, among other geoeconomic combinations: from the search for more significant revenues and profits in economies in the process of productive development or production booms.
