Morning Star Company retained its top position, processing over 4 million metric tons across its three California-based facilities—nearly double the volume of China’s COFCO, the second-ranked company, which processed 2.12 million metric tons across 12 Chinese plants. The next three spots were held by the only companies with factories spanning multiple continents: Kagome, Sugal, and Conesa. These five companies, along with China’s Xinjiang Chalkis, each processed over 1 million metric tons annually, collectively accounting for 11.9 million metric tons (over 25% of the global total).

The next 11 companies processed between 500,000 and 1 million metric tons each (total: 7.6 million metric tons), followed by 19 companies processing 300,000–500,000 metric tons each (total: 7.2 million metric tons). The 50th-ranked company processed 210,000 metric tons, confirming our initial hypothesis that 200,000 metric tons is the threshold for inclusion.

This year’s list features 11 new entrants, including 4 from China and 2 from Brazil.

Geographic Distribution:

• United States: 11 companies (10 in California).
• China: 10 companies.
• Europe: Majority of remaining companies.
• South America (Brazil/Chile): 5 companies.
• North Africa (Tunisia/Egypt): 3 companies.
• Asia: Only Kagome (Japan), though most of its processing occurs outside Asia.

These 50 companies are headquartered in 14 countries and operated 151 processing plants across 17 nations in 2024, with only 15 plants located in the Southern Hemisphere. Their combined capacity exceeded 38 million metric tons, far surpassing actual production even in a record year like 2024.
