Headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota, Red River Commodities (“RRC”) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Amsterdam Commodities N.V., a publicly traded entity based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands that sources, trades and distributes natural food products and ingredients to customers across the globe.
RRC was founded in 1973 as a specialty grain trading organization whose emphasis was on processing commodities for use in human and bird food. As the company worked to develop a broad customer base, it expanded into confectionary sunflower processing. Using a focused, risk-managed approach to growth, RRC broadened its geographic footprint in the US within targeted specialty crop growing regions. Today, RRC is a $200MM global leader in the processing and sale of confectionary sunflower seeds and kernels as well as unique specialty grains and seeds for both human and animal consumption. Its product offerings come from four divisions of the company, including Ingredient Processing, Bird Food, Roasting and Packing, and SunButter®, a fast-growing, innovative peanut butter alternative RRC introduced in 2003.
RRC employs more than 350 people across its Fargo corporate offices and production facilities in Fargo, ND; Horace, ND; Colby, KS; and Lubbock, TX. As part of the company’s continued growth, RRC launched its Global Ingredients trading division in Manitoba (Canada) in 2016.
