The following story shows that controlling food supply is nothing new. For example the Roman Empire controlled the grain trade (using unfair taxes to starve Africa, which is apparently also nothing new).
After the Fourth Crusade (1202-04), the Black Nobilty of Venice took control over grain routes. Eventually, Venetian grain trade extended from the North-West of Europe to the Mongol empire in the East.
Until the fifteenth century, Venice continued to dominate "world" economics (without America of course), to branche out to Antwerp, parts of France, Amsterdam and much of present-day Switzerland.
From this Venetian-Lombard-Burgundian nexus, the 1995 the food cartel's 6 leading grain companies were either founded, or inherited.
I will use/summarise the information from the LaRouche story, but I note that since 1995 this monopoly over the worldwide food supply has been extended even further, and the "pandemic" was staged to control who will be fed and who will be starved...
The "Big Six" leading grain cartel companies are: Minneapolis- and Geneva-based Cargill; New York-based Continental Grain Company; Paris-based Louis-Dreyfus; Brazil- and Netherlands, Antilles-based Bunge and Born; Switzerland-based André; and Illinois- and Hamburg (Germany) based Archer Daniels Midland/Töpfer.
The Anglo-Dutch-Swiss food cartel also own shipping fleets, and have long-established relationships to control commodity trading exchanges on which grain is traded.
Cargill is run by the inter-married MacMillan and and Cargill families;
Continental is managed by the Fribourg family;
Louis-Dreyfus is controlled by the Dreyfus family;
André is run by the André family;
Bunge and Born is directed by the Hirsch and Born families.
Archer Daniels Midland's purchase of Töpfer increased ADM's presence in the world grain trade.
Töpfer's trade is situated within the old Venice-Swiss-Amsterdam-Paris routes, and has extensive business ties with the British Crown controlled Rothschild Bank.
In 1994-95, the cartel's 4 food export regions produced and traded 88% of the world's wheat exports. The cartel dominate 76-97% of the world's grain exports.
In 1994, the cartel's food export regions controlled 89% of the world's export of whole milk powder; 94% of the world's 653 million metric tons of butter exports; and 86% of the world's cheese exports.
The Anglo-Dutch Unilever plays a key role in control over the (exported) whole milk powder. Unilever is the number-one producer of ice cream and margarine in the world.
In 1994, the cartel's food export regions exported 85% of the world's beef and veal.
Four of the biggest beef exporters are Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland/Töpfer, ConAgra/Peavey, and Iowa Beef Processors (renamed IBP).
In 1994, the food cartel export sectors mastered 90% of the international trade in soybeans; 90% of the international trade in soybean meals; and, with British Commonwealth member India, 92% of the soybean meal exports.
The food cartel also controls feed for animals and seed for planting.
British Petroleum (not only oil!), is the largest animal feed producer in Europe and second largest in the US; Cargill is the biggest producer of animal feed and hybrid seed in the world; and Continental Grain is also a large producer of feed and a major force in seed production: https://larouchepub.com/other/1995/2249 ... _food.html

The following is a current article on the attempts of U.S. Sugar to acquire its rival the Louis-Dreyfus Company (headquartered in the Netherlands) subsidiary Imperial Sugar.
The Biden Justice Department apparently tries to block this deal that "would harm competition and consumers": https://www.law.com/dailybusinessreview ... mpetition/
