Based on the most helpful WSO content, aside from the ABCD companies (Archer Daniels Midland, Bunge, Cargill, and Louis Dreyfus), the following firms also offer entry-level or trainee positions in agricultural trading:

  1. Andersons
  2. Scoular
  3. Gavilon

These companies have well-established training programs, often with a "eat what you kill" culture, providing strong compensation and responsibilities early in the career.
