Our ambition is to have the most sustainable food supply chains in the world. From small family farms to global shipping lanes, DAUD Seauton works every day to implement new sustainable practices to improve food production and create new opportunities for farmers and stakeholders.
We are committed to feeding the world in a safe and responsible way; reducing our environmental impact; and improving the communities where we live and work. We are passionate about our purpose to be a global leader in nourishing people and operating responsibly across the agricultural, food, industrial and financial markets the we serve and operate from.
investing in the community
DS programs and projects improve food security and nutrition, support human rights, equity and inclusion. We strengthen farmer livelihoods and advance our commitments in the areas of land use, water and climate.
Small scale supplies from individual farms need bulking into lots that can readily and economically be transported, sorted, processed and stored by our processors, wholesalers, exporters and retailers ( our main buyers ). At DAUD Seauton, Aggregation takes place through two important dimensions; whether deals take place on the spot or whether they are differed in time, subject to a promise or contract; and whether farmers sell their surpluses individually or collectively.

Sustainable Supply Chains
We are building connected supply chains, bringing together people from farm to fork to ensure we’re nourishing the world in a safe, responsible and sustainable way. Alongside farmers, producers, processors, wholesalers, exporters, importers and retailers, we are creating innovative solutions with technology, training and tools that strengthen sustainability and are delivered through the services we provide.

We believe accountability drives progress. Our sustainability goals are ambitious, but achievable – and we’ll hold ourselves to the highest standards of transparency until we’ve accomplished them. Driven by our purpose to create fair and sustainable value, for the benefit of current and future generations, DS is proud to contribute to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
What are the Sustainable Development Goals?
