Foreign investment adaptations to the changing political and economic environments of the agro-food sector: a case study of Cargill Russia

Abstract:
This article identifies criticisms of agro-food corporations, examining their relevance in the case of Cargill Russia. The findings indicate that Cargill has modified its operations according to the unique and peculiar political and economic environment of Russia, and that its actions are mediated by country and cultural processes, resulting in variance compared to its corporate ethos. This article posits a “third school” of competing discourse pervasive amongst employees of Cargill surrounding the cause of global food price volatility, and supports the notion that “distancing” has made it difficult to observe the connections between financial actors and the food system.
