Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Reclassification	Certain prior period data has been reclassified in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes to conform to the current period presentation.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, including variable interest entities (“VIEs”), for which the Company is a primary beneficiary. Investments in affiliates, including certain VIEs, over which the Company has significant influence but does not control and for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method, such investments are carried at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of investees’ earnings or losses, dividends or other distributions, and where appropriate, for basis differences between the investment balance and the underlying net assets of the investee. The Company’s portion of the results of affiliates, including certain VIEs, are included using the most recent available financial statements, which are generally no more than 93 days prior to the Company’s period-end and are applied consistently from period to period.
Segregated Cash and Investments	Segregated Cash and Investments The Company segregates certain cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances in accordance with regulatory requirements, commodity exchange requirements, and insurance arrangements. These balances include deposits received from customers of ADM Investor Services, the Company’s registered futures commission merchant and provider of commodity brokerage services, cash margins and securities pledged to commodity exchange clearinghouses or other brokers, and cash pledged as security under certain insurance arrangements. The payables to brokerage customers have a corresponding balance in segregated cash and investments and segregated customer omnibus receivable in other current assets. Segregated cash and investments also include restricted cash collateral for the various insurance programs of the Company’s captive insurance business.
Receivables	Receivables The Company records accounts receivable at net realizable value, including an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and any accrued interest receivables thereon. The Company estimates uncollectible accounts by pooling receivables according to type, region, credit risk rating, and age. Each pool is assigned an expected loss co-efficient to arrive at a general reserve based on historical write-offs adjusted, as needed, for regional, economic, and other forward-looking factors. Long-term receivables recorded in Other assets were not material to the Company’s overall receivables portfolio.
Inventories	Inventories Certain merchandisable agricultural commodity inventories, which include inventories acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at market value. In addition, the Company values certain inventories using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method at the lower of cost and net realizable value.
Cost Method Investments	Cost Method Investments Cost method investments represent investments in private companies and private equity funds to diversify the Company’s overall investment portfolio. These investments are generally in companies in the startup or development stages, and the markets for products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages. The Company’s evaluation of privately held investments is based on the fundamentals of the businesses invested in. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of such investments to determine if any valuation adjustments are appropriate under the applicable accounting pronouncements. Cost method investments of $159 million and $143 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were included in Other non-current assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Revaluation gains and losses are recorded in Interest and investment (income) expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
Investments in Affiliates	Investments in Affiliates The Company applies the equity method of accounting for investments in investees over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence.
Redeemable Non-controlling Interests	Redeemable Non-controlling Interests The Company presents any redeemable non-controlling interests in temporary equity within the Consolidated Balance Sheets at redemption value with period changes recorded in reinvested earnings. The Company reports the portion of its earnings or loss for redeemable non-controlling interests as Net earnings (losses) attributable to non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 2026, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which simplifies the application of the current expected credit loss model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Contracts with Customers. The adoption of the guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective January 1, 2026, the Company adopted ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Hedge Accounting. The amended guidance within this ASU is intended to simplify cash flow hedge accounting and enhance the hedging of variable price-components of nonfinancial forecasted transactions. Among other changes, the amendments eliminate the requirement for contractually specified price components in order to qualify for risk componentization for a cash flow hedge program for forecasted nonfinancial transactions. The amendments better align hedge accounting with the Company’s commodity risk management activities and improved the operability of its commodity cash flow hedge program. The adoption did not have a significant effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted Effective January 1, 2027, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract, which expands the scope of contracts that are excluded from derivative accounting to include certain non-exchange traded contracts. It also clarifies that the revenue guidance in ASC 606, Contracts with Customers, initially applies to share-based noncash consideration received from a customer for the transfer of goods or services. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Effective January 1, 2027, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity, which amends the existing framework for identifying the accounting acquirer in business combinations when the legal acquiree is a VIE by requiring entities to consider the general accounting acquirer factors in ASC 805-10, Business Combination-Overall, when the transaction is primarily effected by the exchange of equity interests. The new guidance is required to be applied prospectively to any acquisition transaction that occurs after the initial application date. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective December 31, 2027, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of income statement expenses, which will require tabular disclosure of certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The amendments in this ASU can be applied on a prospective basis or retrospective basis upon adoption. The adoption of the amended guidance will result in expanded disclosures in the Company’s footnotes but is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective January 1, 2028, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods and provides new guidance on how to evaluate whether the probable-to-completion recognition threshold has been met. The amendments in this ASU can be applied on a prospective basis or retrospective basis upon adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Effective January 1, 2029, the Company will be required to adopt ASU 2025-10, Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities (Topic 832), which establishes authoritative guidance under U.S. GAAP for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants received by business entities. Under this ASU, government grants are recognized when it is probable that the entity will comply with the grant’s conditions and will receive the grant. Grants related to income may be presented either as a separate line item or as a reduction of the related expenses. Grants related to assets may reduce the carrying amount of the related asset or be presented as deferred income. This ASU also requires disclosure of the nature and terms of grants, the accounting policies applied, and significant conditions. The amendments in this ASU can be applied on a modified prospective or retrospective basis upon adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The Company measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company uses the market approach valuation technique to measure the majority of its assets and liabilities carried at fair value. Three levels are established within the fair value hierarchy that may be used to report fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. Level 2: Observable inputs, including Level 1 prices that have been adjusted; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are less active than traded exchanges; and other inputs that are observable or can be substantially corroborated by observable market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are a significant component of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Certain prior period data has been reclassified in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes to conform to the current period presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates entities in which it has a controlling financial interest, including variable interest entities (“VIEs”), for which the Company is a primary beneficiary. Investments in affiliates, including certain VIEs, over which the Company has significant influence but does not control and for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary are accounted for under the equity method. Under the equity method, such investments are carried at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of investees’ earnings or losses, dividends or other distributions, and where appropriate, for basis differences between the investment balance and the underlying net assets of the investee. The Company’s portion of the results of affiliates, including certain VIEs, are included using the most recent available financial statements, which are generally no more than 93 days prior to the Company’s period-end and are applied consistently from period to period.

Segregated Cash and Investments

The Company segregates certain cash, cash equivalents, and investment balances in accordance with regulatory requirements, commodity exchange requirements, and insurance arrangements. These balances include deposits received from customers of ADM Investor Services, the Company’s registered futures commission merchant and provider of commodity brokerage services, cash margins and securities pledged to commodity exchange clearinghouses or other brokers, and cash pledged as security under certain insurance arrangements. The payables to brokerage customers have a corresponding balance in segregated cash and investments and segregated customer omnibus receivable in other current assets.

Segregated cash and investments also include restricted cash collateral for the various insurance programs of the Company’s captive insurance business.

Receivables

The Company records accounts receivable at net realizable value, including an allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect any loss anticipated on the accounts receivable balances and any accrued interest receivables thereon. The Company estimates uncollectible accounts by pooling receivables according to type, region, credit risk rating, and age. Each pool is assigned an expected loss co-efficient to arrive at a general reserve based on historical write-offs adjusted, as needed, for regional, economic, and other forward-looking factors. Long-term receivables recorded in Other assets were not material to the Company’s overall receivables portfolio.

Inventories

Certain merchandisable agricultural commodity inventories, which include inventories acquired under deferred pricing contracts, are stated at market value. In addition, the Company values certain inventories using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Cost Method Investments

Cost method investments represent investments in private companies and private equity funds to diversify the Company’s overall investment portfolio. These investments are generally in companies in the startup or development stages, and the markets for products these companies are developing are typically in the early stages. The Company’s evaluation of privately held investments is based on the fundamentals of the businesses invested in. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of such investments to determine if any valuation adjustments are appropriate under the applicable accounting pronouncements.

Cost method investments of $159 million and $143 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were included in Other non-current assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revaluation gains and losses are recorded in Interest and investment (income) expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Investments in Affiliates

The Company applies the equity method of accounting for investments in investees over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence.

Redeemable Non-controlling Interests

The Company presents any redeemable non-controlling interests in temporary equity within the Consolidated Balance Sheets at redemption value with period changes recorded in reinvested earnings. The Company reports the portion of its earnings or loss for redeemable non-controlling interests as Net earnings (losses) attributable to non-controlling interests in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings.
