​​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.

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.
