(c)  Narrative Description of Business

  (1)  Business Done and Intended to be Done by the Registrant

     (i)  Principal Products and Services

     Pork  Division  -  Seaboard, through its  subsidiary  Seaboard
     Foods LLC engages in the businesses of hog production and pork
     processing  in  the United States.  Through these  operations,
     Seaboard produces and sells fresh and frozen pork products  to
     further  processors,  foodservice operators,  grocery  stores,
     distributors and retail outlets throughout the United  States.
     Internationally,  Seaboard  sells  to  these  same  types   of
     customers  in Japan, Mexico and other foreign markets.   Other
     further  processing companies also purchase  Seaboard's  fresh
     and frozen pork products in bulk and produce products, such as
     lunchmeat,  ham,  bacon, and sausage.   Fresh  pork,  such  as
     loins,  tenderloins  and  ribs are sold  to  distributors  and
     grocery  stores.  Seaboard also sells further  processed  pork
     products consisting primarily of raw and pre-cooked bacon from
     its  two bacon further processing plants.  Seaboard sells some
     of  its fresh products under the brand name Prairie Freshr and
     its  bacon  and  other further processed  products  under  the
     Daily'sr  brand  name.   Seaboard's hog  processing  plant  is
     located  in  Guymon, Oklahoma, and operates  at  double  shift
     capacity.   Seaboard's bacon plants are located in  Salt  Lake
     City,  Utah and Missoula, Montana.  Seaboard also earns  fees,
     based primarily on the number of head processed, to market all
     of  the  products produced by Triumph Foods LLC at their  pork
     processing plant located in St. Joseph, Missouri.

     Seaboard's  hog production operations consist of the  breeding
     and  raising  of  approximately 4.0 million hogs  annually  at
     facilities primarily owned or at facilities owned and operated
     by  third parties with whom it has grower contracts.  The  hog
     production  operations are located in the States of  Oklahoma,
     Kansas,  Texas and Colorado.  As a part of the hog  production
     operations,  Seaboard produces specially formulated  feed  for
     the  hogs  at  six  owned  feed  mills.   The  remaining  hogs
     processed  are  purchased  from  third  party  hog  producers,
     primarily pursuant to purchase contracts.

     Seaboard produces biodiesel at a facility in Guymon, Oklahoma.
     The biodiesel is produced from pork fat from Seaboard's Guymon
     pork  processing  plant and from animal fat supplied  by  non-
     Seaboard  facilities.  The biodiesel is sold to third parties.
     The  facility  can also produce biodiesel from vegetable  oil.
     Seaboard  is able to reduce or stop production when  it  isn't
     economically feasible to produce based on input costs  or  the
     price   of   biodiesel.   During  2009,   Seaboard   completed
     construction  of  and  began operations at  a  ham-boning  and
     processing plant in Mexico.

     Commodity  Trading and Milling Division - Seaboard's Commodity
     Trading   and   Milling   Division,  primarily   through   its
     subsidiaries,  Seaboard  Overseas Limited  based  in  Bermuda,
     Seaboard Overseas Trading and Shipping  (PTY), Ltd. located in
     South  Africa, SeaRice Limited located in Geneva,  Switzerland
     and SeaRice Carribean located in Miami, Florida markets wheat,
     corn, soybean meal, rice and other similar commodities in bulk
     to  third  party  customers and affiliated  companies.   These
     commodities are purchased from most growing regions worldwide,
     with primary destinations being Africa, South America, and the
     Caribbean.   The  division  sources,  transports  and  markets

<PAGE> 3

     up  to  approximately  4.0  to 4.5 million tons of grains  and
     proteins on an annual basis.  Seaboard integrates the  service
     of delivering commodities to its customers through the use  of
     chartered bulk vessels and its eight owned bulk carriers.

     This  division  also  operates milling and related  businesses
     with  24  locations  in  12  countries,  which  are  primarily
     supplied by the trading locations discussed above.  The  grain
     processing  businesses are operated through four  consolidated
     and  nine non-consolidated affiliates in Africa, the Caribbean
     and  South  America.  These are flour, feed and maize  milling
     businesses which produce approximately two and a half  million
     metric  tons  of  finished products per  year.   Most  of  the
     products  produced by the milling operations are sold  in  the
     countries in which the products are produced or into  adjacent
     countries.

     Marine  Division - Seaboard, through its subsidiary,  Seaboard
     Marine  Ltd.,  and  various foreign affiliated  companies  and
     third  party  agents,  provides containerized  cargo  shipping
     service  to  25  countries  between  the  United  States,  the
     Caribbean Basin, and Central and South America.  Seaboard uses
     a  network of offices and agents throughout the United States,
     Canada,  Latin America and the Caribbean Basin  to  book  both
     northbound and southbound cargo to and from the United  States
     and  between the countries it serves.  Through agreements with
     a network of connecting carriers, Seaboard can transport cargo
     to and from numerous U.S. locations by either truck or rail to
     and  from  one of its U.S. port locations, where it is  staged
     for export via vessel or received as import cargo from abroad.

     Seaboard's  primary marine operation is located in  Miami  and
     includes a 81 acre terminal located at the Port of Miami and a
     135,000 square foot off-dock warehouse for cargo consolidation
     and temporary storage.  Seaboard also operates a 62 acre cargo
     terminal  facility  at  the  Port  of  Houston  that  includes
     approximately  690,000 square feet of on-dock warehouse  space
     for  temporary  storage  of bagged grains,  resins  and  other
     cargoes.   Seaboard  also  makes  scheduled  vessel  calls  in
     Brooklyn,  New York, Fernandina Beach, Florida,  New  Orleans,
     Louisiana  and  40  foreign  ports.   At  December  31,  2009,
     Seaboard's  fleet  consists of 12 owned and  approximately  22
     chartered  vessels,  and  dry,  refrigerated  and  specialized
     containers and other related equipment.

     Sugar  Division - Seaboard, through its subsidiary, Ingenio  y
     Refineria  San  Martin  del Tabacal and other  Argentine  non-
     consolidated  affiliates, is involved in  the  production  and
     refining  of  sugar  cane in Argentina.   This  division  also
     purchases  sugar  in bulk from third parties within  Argentina
     for subsequent resale.  The sugar products are mostly sold  in
     Argentina,  primarily to retailers, soft drink  manufacturers,
     and  food  manufacturers,  with some  exports  to  the  United
     States,  South  America and Europe.  Seaboard  grows  a  large
     portion of the sugar cane on more than 60,000 acres of land it
     owns  in northern Argentina. The cane is processed at an owned
     mill,  with  a  current processing capacity  of  approximately
     250,000  metric  tons  of sugar and approximately  14  million
     gallons  of  alcohol per year (hydrated and dehydrated).   The
     sugar  mill is one of the largest in Argentina.  Also,  during
     2008  this  division  began  construction  of  a  40  megawatt
     cogeneration  power plant, which is expected to  be  completed
     during the third quarter of 2010.

     Power Division - All other businesses primarily represents the
     business  of  Seaboard's subsidiary, Transcontinental  Capital
     Corp.  (Bermuda) Ltd. (the Power Division), which operates  as
     an independent power producer in the Dominican Republic.  This
     operation  is  exempt from U.S. regulation  under  the  Public
     Utility  Holding Company Act of 1938, as amended.   The  Power
     Division operates two floating barges with a system of  diesel
     engines  capable  of generating a combined rated  capacity  of
     approximately  112 megawatts of electricity.  See  "Status  of
     Product  or Segment" below for discussion of the pending  sale
     of  the  two barges.  Seaboard generates electricity into  the
     local Dominican Republic power grid.  Seaboard is not directly
     involved   in   the  transmission  or  distribution   of   the
     electricity but does have contracts to sell directly to  third
     party  users.   The barges are secured on the Ozama  River  in
     Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.  The electricity is sold to
     certain  large commercial users with contract terms  extending
     from one to four years.  Seaboard also sells approximately 34%
     of  its power under a short-term contract that expires at  the
     end  of March 2010 to a government-owned distribution company.
     The  remaining  electricity is sold in the  "spot  market"  at
     prevailing   market   prices,  primarily   to   three   wholly
     government-owned  electric  distribution  companies  or  other
     power  producers  who  lack  sufficient  power  production  to
     service their customers.

     Other  Businesses - Seaboard purchases and processes  jalapeno
     peppers at its owned plant in Honduras.  The processed peppers
     are primarily sold to a customer in the United States, and are
     shipped to the United States by Seaboard's Marine Division and
     distributed from Seaboard's port facilities.

     The  information required by Item 1 of Form 10-K with  respect
     to  the  amount or percentage of total revenue contributed  by
     any  class  of similar products or services which account  for
     10  percent or more of consolidated revenue in any of the last
     three  fiscal  years  is set forth in Note  13  of  Seaboard's
     Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  appearing  on  pages  55
     through  59  of  the Seaboard's Annual Report to Stockholders,
     furnished  to  the  Commission pursuant to rule  14a-3(b)  and
     attached  as  Exhibit 13 to this report, which information  is
     incorporated herein by reference.

     (ii) Status of Product or Segment

     During  2009,  Seaboard completed construction  of  and  began
     operations at a majority-owned ham-boning and processing plant
     in Mexico.

     During  2008  Seaboard discontinued operations  of  its  flour
     milling operations in Mozambique as a result of its Mozambican
     subsidiary  entering into an agreement to exchange  its  flour
     milling  facility for a ten percent ownership  interest  in  a
     food  processing  company  in  that  country.   This  exchange
     transaction is expected to be completed in the first  half  of
     2010.

     Seaboard has a minority ownership in a feed mill operation  in
     Nigeria.    During   2009,   this   entity   contributed   all
     manufacturing  equipment and certain other assets  along  with
     its  trade  name  to  a newly formed feed  mill  operation  in
     Nigeria  in exchange for a minority interest in the  new  mill
     operation  and will no longer continue its original feed  mill
     operations.  In a separate transaction, this same entity  sold
     certain  land  and  building of one of its  closed  feed  mill
     operations to a third party for cash.

     On  January  12,  2010,  Haiti was struck  by  an  earthquake.
     Seaboard has a non-controlling interest in a foreign affiliate
     with  a flour mill operation in Lafiteau, Haiti.  Part of this
     facility  was severely damaged as a result of the  earthquake.
     This affiliate business intends to rebuild the damaged part of
     the  facility and will continue to operate the portion of  the
     facility  that  was  not  damaged.  This  facility  was  fully
     insured,   including  business  interruption   and   inventory
     coverage.    Seaboard  also  sells wheat  and  flour  to  this
     business through Seaboard's commodity trading operations.   In
     addition, the primary port in Haiti, located in Port-au-Prince
     from  which  Seaboard  Marine's  vessels  normally  dock,  was
     severely damaged.  Seaboard is not the owner operator of  this
     port  location  but  does  operate a small  terminal  facility
     nearby that sustained minor damage from the earthquake,  which
     is   covered  by  insurance.   Currently,  Seaboard   has   no
     indication how long it will take before regular service can be
     resumed  to  Haiti's  primary port but  is  currently  routing
     cargoes  through  secondary ports in Haiti and  the  Dominican
     Republic.

     The  Sugar  Division  is in the process  of  developing  a  40
     megawatt cogeneration power plant.  This     plant is expected
     to  be  completed  during  the  third  quarter  of  2010.   In
     addition,   during  the  first  quarter  of  2009,  management
     reviewed  its  strategic options for the  citrus  business  in
     light  of  a continually difficult operating environment.   In
     the  first quarter of 2009, management decided not to process,
     package  or market the 2009 harvest for the citrus and related
     juice  operations.  In the second quarter of 2009,  management
     decided to integrate and transform some of the land previously
     used   for   citrus  production  into  sugar  cane  production
     resulting in an exit from the citrus business.  Lastly, in the
     first  quarter of 2010, the Company began sales of  dehydrated
     alcohol to certain local oil companies under the national bio-
     ethanol  program  which requires alcohol to  be  blended  with
     gasoline.

     The  Power  Division's short-term contract with a  government-
     owned distribution company, which represents approximately 34%
     of its sales, expires at the end of March 2010.

     On  March  2, 2009, an agreement became effective under  which
     Seaboard  will  sell  its two power barges  in  the  Dominican
     Republic  for  $70.0 million, which will use such  barges  for
     private use.  The agreement calls for the sale to occur on  or
     around January 1, 2011.  Seaboard will be responsible for  the
     wind down and decommissioning costs of the barges.  Completion
     of  the  sale  is dependent upon the satisfaction  of  several
     conditions, including meeting certain baseline performance and
     emission  tests.  Failure to satisfy or cure any  deficiencies
     could result in the agreement being terminated.  Seaboard will
     retain  all  other physical properties of its power generation
     business,  and  is considering options to continue  its  power
     business  in  the Dominican Republic after the sale  of  these
     assets is completed.

     (iii) Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

     None of Seaboard's businesses utilize material amounts of  raw
     materials that are dependent on purchases from one supplier or
     a small group of dominant suppliers.

     (iv) Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises and Concessions

     Seaboard uses the registered trademark of Seaboard.

     The  Pork Division uses registered trademarks relating to  its
     products,  including  Seaboard Farms, Prairie Fresh,  A  Taste
     Like  No  Other,  Daily's, Daily's  Premium Meats Since  1893,
     High Plains  Bioenergy,  Prairie  Fresh Prime, Seaboard Foods,
     Buffet   Brand,  Seaboard   Farms,   Inc.  and   Del   Pueblo.
     Seaboard  considers the use of these trademarks  important  to
     the marketing and promotion of its pork products.

     The  Marine Division  uses the trade name Seaboard Marine  and
     Seaboard  Solutions   which  are  all  registered  trademarks.
     Seaboard  believes there is significant recognition  of  these
     trademarks in the industry and by many of its customers.

     Part of the sales within the Sugar Division are made under the
     Chango   brand  in  Argentina, where this  division  operates.
     Local  sales  prices are affected by government price  control
     and  sugar  import duties imposed by the Argentine government,
     impacting local volume sold, as well as imported and  exported
     volumes to and from international markets.

     Seaboard's   Power  Division  benefits  from  a   tax   exempt
     concession   granted  by  the  Dominican  Republic  government
     through 2012.

     Patents, trademarks, franchises, licenses and concessions  are
     not material to any of Seaboard's other divisions.

     (v)  Seasonal Business

     Sugar  prices  in  Argentina are generally  lower  during  the
     typical  sugarcane  harvest period between May  and  November.
     Seaboard's other divisions are not seasonally dependent to any
     material extent.

     (vi) Practices Relating to Working Capital Items

     There  are  no  unusual  industry practices  or  practices  of
     Seaboard relating to working capital items.

     (vii)      Depending on a Single Customer or Few Customers

     Seaboard does not have sales to any one customer equal to  ten
     percent  or more of consolidated revenues.  The Pork  Division
     derives  approximately 12 percent of its revenues from  a  few
     customers  in  Japan  through one agent.  The  Power  Division
     sells  power in the Dominican Republic to a limited number  of
     contract  customers and on the spot market accessed  primarily
     by   three  wholly  government-owned  distribution  companies.
     Approximately 34% of its power generation is provided for  one
     government-owned  distribution  company  under  a   short-term
     contract  that expires at the end of March 2010 and for  which
     Seaboard  bears  a concentrated credit risk as this  customer,
     from  time  to  time, has significant past due balances.    No
     other  division has sales to a few customers which,  if  lost,
     would  have a material adverse effect on any such division  or
     on Seaboard taken as a whole.

     (viii) Backlog

     Backlog is not material to Seaboard's businesses.

     (ix) Government Contracts

     No material portion of Seaboard's business involves government
     contracts.

     (x)  Competitive Conditions

     Competition in Seaboard's Pork Division comes from  a  variety
     of   national,   international  and  regional  producers   and
     processors and is based primarily on product quality, customer
     service  and  price.   According  to  recent  publications  by
     Successful  Farming and Informa Economics, trade publications,
     Seaboard  ranks as one of the nation's top five pork producers
     (based  on  sows  in production) and top ten  pork  processors
     (based on daily processing capacity).

     Seaboard's ocean liner service for containerized cargoes faces
     competition  based on price, reliable sailing frequencies  and
     customer service.  Seaboard believes it is among the top  five
     ranking ocean liner services for containerized cargoes in  the
     Caribbean Basin based on cargo volume.

<PAGE> 6

     Seaboard's sugar business owns one of the largest sugar  mills
     in Argentina and faces significant competition for sugar sales
     in  the local Argentine market.  Sugar prices in Argentina can
     fluctuate  compared to world markets due to current  Argentine
     government price control and protection policies.

     Seaboard's   Power  Division  is  located  in  the   Dominican
     Republic.   Power generated by this division is  sold  on  the
     spot market or to contract customers at prices primarily based
     on market conditions rather than cost-based rates.

     (xi) Research and Development Activities

     Seaboard conducts research and development activities  focused
     on  various  aspects of Seaboard's vertically integrated  pork
     processing   system,  including  improving  product   quality,
     production     processes,    animal    genetics,     nutrition
     and health.  Incremental costs incurred to perform these tests
     are  expensed  as incurred and are not material  to  operating
     results.

     (xii)     Environmental Compliance

     Seaboard  is  subject  to numerous Federal,  state  and  local
     provisions  relating  to  the environment  which  require  the
     expenditure  of  funds  in the ordinary  course  of  business.
     Seaboard  does  not anticipate making expenditures  for  these
     purposes,  which, in the aggregate would have  a  material  or
     significant  effect  on  Seaboard's  financial  condition   or
     results of operations.

     (xiii)    Number of Persons Employed by Registrant

     As  of December 31, 2009, Seaboard, excluding non-consolidated
     foreign  affiliates, had 10,957 employees, of whom 5,737  were
     employed  in the United States.  Approximately 2,100 employees
     in   Seaboard's  Pork  Division  were  covered  by  collective
     bargaining  agreements  as  of December  31,  2009.   Seaboard
     considers its employee relations to be satisfactory.

(d)  Financial Information about Geographic Areas

In  addition  to  the  narrative  disclosure  provided  below,  the
financial information relating to export sales required by  Item  1
of  Form  10-K is incorporated herein by reference to  Note  13  of
Seaboard's Consolidated Financial Statements appearing on pages  55
through 59 of Seaboard's Annual Report to Stockholders furnished to
the Commission pursuant to Rule 14a-3(b) and attached as Exhibit 13
to this report.

Seaboard  considers  its  relations with  the  governments  of  the
countries  in  which  its foreign subsidiaries and  affiliates  are
located  to  be  satisfactory,  but these  foreign  operations  are
subject  to  risks of doing business in lesser-developed  countries
which  are  subject  to  potential  civil  unrests  and  government
instabilities,  increasing the exposure to potential expropriation,
confiscation, war, insurrection, civil strife and revolution, sales
price  controls,  currency inconvertibility  and  devaluation,  and
currency  exchange controls.  To minimize certain of  these  risks,
Seaboard  has  insured certain investments in its  affiliate  flour
mills in Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, Lesotho, Republic  of
Congo  and  Zambia, to the extent available and deemed  appropriate
against certain of these risks with the Overseas Private Investment
Corporation,  an  agency of the United States Government.   At  the
date  of this report, Seaboard is not aware of any situations which
could  have a material effect on Seaboard's business, although  the
January  12, 2010 earthquake in Haiti could result in civil  unrest
over  a  period  of  time if local conditions do not  improve  from
current conditions.

(e)  Available Information

Seaboard electronically files with the Commission annual reports on
Form  10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form
8-K  and  amendments to those reports pursuant to Section 13(a)  or

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Seaboard  has  identified important risks  and  uncertainties  that
could  affect  the  results of operations, financial  condition  or
business  and  that  could  cause them to  differ  materially  from
Seaboard's historical results of operations, financial condition or
business, or those contemplated by forward-looking statements  made
herein  or elsewhere, by, or on behalf of, Seaboard.  Factors  that
could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are  not
limited to, those factors described below.

(a) General

  (1)  Seaboard's Operations are Subject to the General Risks of the
       Food Industry.  The divisions of the business that are in the
       food products manufacturing industry are subject to the risks
       posed by:

         -  food spoilage or food contamination;

         -  evolving consumer preferences and nutritional and health-
            related concerns;

         -  federal, state,  national,  provincial  and  local  food
            processing controls;

         -  consumer product liability claims;

         -  product tampering;

         -  the  possible unavailability and/or expense of liability
            insurance.

       If one or more of these risks were to materialize, Seaboard's
       revenues could  decrease,  costs  of  doing  business   could
       increase, and Seaboard's operating results could be adversely
       affected.

  (2)  Foreign  Political and Economic Conditions Have a Significant
       Impact  on  Seaboard's  Business.   Seaboard  is  a   diverse
       agribusiness   and   transportation   company   with   global
       operations in several industries. Most of the sales and costs
       of  Seaboard's  divisions  are  significantly  influenced  by
       worldwide  fluctuations  in  commodity  prices or  changes in
       foreign political and economic conditions. Accordingly, sales,
       operating income and cash flows can fluctuate   significantly
       from  year  to year.  In  addition,  Seaboard's international
       activities  pose  risks  not  faced  by  companies that limit
       themselves to United States markets. These risks include:

         -  changes in foreign currency exchange rates;

         -  foreign currency exchange controls;

         -  changes in a specific country's or region's political or
            economic conditions, particularly in emerging markets;

         -  hyperinflation;

         -  heightened customer credit and execution risk;

         -  tariffs,  other  trade protection measures and import or
            export licensing requirements;

         -  potentially  negative  consequences  from changes in tax
            laws;

         -  different legal and regulatory structures and unexpected
            changes in legal and regulatory requirements; and

         -  negative perception within a foreign country of a United
            States company doing business in that foreign country.

       Seaboard  cannot provide assurance that it will be  successful
       in competing effectively in international markets.

  (3)  Deterioration  of Economic Conditions Could Negatively  Impact
       Seaboard's  Business.  Seaboard's business  may  be  adversely
       affected by changes in national or global economic conditions,
       including  inflation, interest rates, availability of  capital
       markets,  consumer  spending rates,  energy  availability  and
       costs  and  the effects of governmental initiatives to  manage
       economic conditions.  Any such changes could adversely  affect
       the   demand  for  our  pork  products,  grains  and  shipping
       services,  or  the  cost and availability of  our  needed  raw
       materials   and   packaging  materials,   thereby   negatively
       affecting  our  financial results.  The current  national  and
       global economic conditions, could, among other things:

         -  impair  the  financial condition of some of our customers
            and  suppliers  thereby  increasing customer bad debts or
            non-performance by customers and suppliers;

         -  negatively   impact   global   demand   for  protein  and
            grain-based  products,  which could result in a reduction
            of sales, operating income and cash flows;

         -  decrease the value of our investments in equity and debt
            securities, including pension plan assets; and

<PAGE> 8

         -  impair the financial viability of our insurers.

  (4)  Ocean Transportation Has Inherent Risks.  Seaboard's owned and
       chartered vessels along with related cargoes  are  at  risk of
       being damaged or lost because of events such as:

         -  marine disasters;

         -  bad weather;

         -  mechanical failures;

         -  grounding, fire, explosions and collisions;

         -  human error; and

         -  war and terrorism.

       All of these hazards can result in death or injury to persons,
       loss  of property, environmental damages, delays or rerouting.
       If one of Seaboard's vessels were involved in an accident, the
       resulting media coverage could have a material adverse  effect
       on  Seaboard's  business, financial condition and  results  of
       operations.

  (5)  Seaboard's Common Stock is Thinly Traded and Subject to  Daily
       Price  Fluctuations.  The common stock of Seaboard is  closely
       held (72.3% is owned by  Seaboard Flour and SFC Preferred LLC,
       which is  owned  by S. Bresky and  other members of the Bresky
       family) and  thinly traded  on a daily basis on  the NYSE Amex
       Equities  (formerly,  NYSE  Alternext  US).  Accordingly,  the
       price  of  a  share  of  common  stock   can   fluctuate  more
       significantly from day-to-day than a widely held stock that is
       actively traded on a daily basis.

(b) Pork Division

  (1)  Fluctuations   in   Commodity   Pork  Prices  Could  Adversely
       Affect  Seaboard's Results of Operations.   Sales  prices  for
       Seaboard's  pork  products  are  directly  affected  by   both
       domestic  and  world wide supply and demand for pork  products
       and  other proteins, all of which are determined by constantly
       changing  market forces of supply and demand as well as  other
       factors   over  which  Seaboard  has  little  or  no  control.
       Commodity  pork  prices  demonstrate a  cyclical  nature  over
       periods  of years, reflecting changes in the supply  of  fresh
       pork and competing proteins on the market, especially beef and
       chicken.   Seaboard's results of operations could be adversely
       affected by fluctuations in pork commodity prices.

  (2)  Increases  in   Costs of  Seaboard's Feed Components  and  Hog
       Purchases  Could  Adversely   Affect   Seaboard's   Costs  and
       Operating Margins.  Feed costs are the most significant single
       component of the  cost  of  raising hogs and can be materially
       affected by commodity  price fluctuations for corn and soybean
       meal.  The  results  of  Seaboard's  Pork   Division   can  be
       negatively  affected  by  increased  costs  of Seaboard's feed
       components.  The recent increase in construction and operation
       of ethanol  plants  has elevated this risk as it has increased
       the  competing  demand  for  feed ingredients, primarily corn.
       Similarly,  accounting  for  approximately  25%  of Seaboard's
       total hogs slaughtered, the cost of third party hogs purchased
       fluctuates  with  market conditions and can have an impact  on
       Seaboard's total costs. The cost and supply of feed components
       and  the  third party hogs that we purchase are determined  by
       constantly changing market  forces of supply and demand, which
       are driven by matters over which we have no control, including
       weather,  current  and  projected  worldwide  grain stocks and
       prices,  grain  export  prices  and  supports and governmental
       agricultural policies.  Seaboard attempts to manage certain of
       these risks through the use  of financial instruments, however
       this may also limit its ability  to  participate in gains from
       favorable commodity fluctuations. Unless wholesale pork prices
       correspondingly   increase,   increases   in   the  prices  of
       Seaboard's feed components or in the cost of third  party hogs
       purchased would adversely affect Seaboard's operating margins.

  (3)  Seaboard's  Ability  to Obtain Appropriate Personnel at Remote
       Locations  is  Important to Seaboard's Business.   The  remote
       locations of the pork processing plant and live hog operations,
       the  lack  of  immigration  reform could negatively affect the
       availability  and  cost  of  labor.  Seaboard  is dependent on
       having  sufficient  properly  trained  operations   personnel.
       Attracting and retaining  qualified  personnel is important to
       Seaboard's success.   The  inability to acquire and retain the
       services  of  such  personnel  could  have  a material adverse
       effect on Seaboard's operations.

  (4)  The  Loss  of  Seaboard's  Sole Hog Processing Facility  Could
       Adversely   Affect   Seaboard's   Business.   Seaboard's  Pork
       Division is largely  dependent on the continued operation of a
       single hog processing facility.  The loss of or damage to this
       facility   for   any    reason - including    fire,   tornado,
       governmental action or other reason  - could  adversely affect
       Seaboard and Seaboard's  pork business.

  (5)  Environmental Regulation  and  Related Litigation Could Have a
       Material Adverse Effect on Seaboard. Seaboard's operations and
       properties are subject to extensive and increasingly stringent
       laws and regulations pertaining to, among other things, odors,
       the  discharge  of  materials  into  the environment  and  the
       handling  and  disposition  of   wastes

<PAGE> 9


       (including solid and hazardous wastes) or   otherwise relating
       to protection of the environment. Failure to comply with these
       laws and regulations and any future changes to them may result
       in significant consequences to Seaboard, including   civil and
       criminal  penalties,  liability  for   damages   and  negative
       publicity.  Some  requirements applicable to Seaboard may also
       be  enforced  by  citizen  groups.  Seaboard has incurred, and
       will  continue to incur, operating expenditures to comply with
       these laws and regulations.

  (6)  Health  Risk  to  Livestock Could Adversely Affect Production,
       the Supply of Raw Materials and Seaboard's Business.  Seaboard
       is subject to risks relating to its ability to maintain animal
       health  and  control diseases.  The general health of the hogs
       and  the  reproductive  performance  of  the  sows can have an
       adverse impact on  production and production costs, the supply
       of raw material to  Seaboard's  pork processing operations and
       consumer  confidence.  If  Seaboard's  hogs  are  affected  by
       disease,  Seaboard  may  be  required  to   destroy   infected
       livestock, which could adversely  affect Seaboard's production
       or ability to sell or export its products.  Moreover, the herd
       health  of  third  party suppliers could adversely affect  the
       supply and cost of hogs available for purchase  by   Seaboard.
       Adverse publicity concerning any disease or  health    concern
       could also  cause  customers  to lose confidence in the safety
       and quality of Seaboard's food products.

  (7)  If  Seaboard's  Pork  Products Become Contaminated, We May  be
       Subject to Product Liability Claims and Product Recalls.  Pork
       products  may be subject to contamination by disease producing
       organisms.  These  organisms  are  generally  found   in   the
       environment and as  a  result, regardless of the manufacturing
       practices  employed,  there is a risk that they as a result of
       food processing could  be present in Seaboard's processed pork
       products.  Once  contaminated  products  have been shipped for
       distribution, illness  and  death may  result if the organisms
       are not eliminated at the  further  processing, foodservice or
       consumer  level.  Even an inadvertent shipment of contaminated
       products is a violation of law  and may lead to increased risk
       of exposure to product liability  claims,  product recalls and
       increased scrutiny by federal and  state  regulatory  agencies
       and may have a material adverse effect on Seaboard's business,
       reputation,  prospects,  results  of  operations and financial
       condition.

  (8)  Corporate  Farming Legislation Could Result in the Divestiture
       or  Restructuring   of   Seaboard's   Pork   Operations.   The
       development  of  large   corporate   farming   operations  and
       concentration of hog production in larger-scale facilities has
       engendered  opposition  from   residents  of  states  in which
       Seaboard conducts its pork processing and live hog operations.
       From  time-to-time,  corporate  farming  legislation  has been
       introduced   in   the   United  States  Senate  and  House  of
       Representatives,  as  well  as  in several state legislatures.
       These  proposed  anti-corporate  farming  bills have  included
       provisions  to  prohibit  or  restrict  meat  packers, such as
       Seaboard,  from owning or controlling livestock  intended  for
       slaughter, which would require divestiture or restructuring of
       Seaboard's operations.

  (9)  International Trade Barriers Could Adversely Affect Seaboard's
       Pork Operations.  This division realizes a significant portion
       of its revenues from international markets, particularly Japan
       and Mexico.   International sales are subject to risks related
       to general economic conditions, imposition of tariffs, quotas,
       trade barriers and other restrictions, enforcement of remedies
       in  foreign  jurisdictions  and  compliance  with   applicable
       foreign laws, and  other economic and political uncertainties.
       These and other risks could result in border closings or other
       international  trade  barriers  having  an  adverse  effect on
       Seaboard's earnings.

 (10)  Discontinuation   of   Tax   Credits   for   Biodiesel   Could
       Adversely  Affect Seaboard's Results of Operations.   Seaboard
       obtains  Federal  and State tax credits for the  biodiesel  it
       produces  and  sells.   The  Federal  tax  credit  expired  on
       December 31, 2009, and if not renewed by Congress during  2010
       could  adversely affect Seaboard's results of  operations  and
       could result in the potential impairment of the recorded value
       of  property,  plant and equipment related  to  the  biodiesel
       processing facility.

 (11)  Operations     of    Biodiesel   Production   Facility.    The
       profitability of Seaboard's biodiesel plant could be adversely
       affected  by  various factors, including the market  price  of
       pork  and  other  animal  fat which  is  utilized  to  produce
       biodiesel,  and  the market price for biodiesel.   Unfavorable
       changes  in  these prices over extended periods of time  could
       adversely  affect Seaboard's results of operations  and  could
       result  in the potential impairment of the recorded  value  of
       the property, plant and equipment related to this facility.

 (c) Commodity Trading & Milling Division

  (1)  Seaboard's  Commodity  &  Milling Division is Subject to Risks
       Associated with Foreign Operations.  This division principally
       operates  in  Africa, Bermuda, South America and the Caribbean
       and,  in  most  cases, in  what  are generally regarded to  be
       lesser  developed countries.  Many of these foreign operations
       are  subject  to  risks of  doing business in lesser-developed
       countries which  are  subject  to  potential civil unrests and
       government instabilities, increasing the exposure to potential
       expropriation, confiscation, war, insurrection, civil   strife
       and   revolution,    currency

<PAGE> 10

       inconvertibility   and   devaluation,  and  currency  exchange
       controls,  in  addition  to  the  risks of overseas operations
       mentioned  in  clause  (a)(2)  above.  In   addition,  foreign
       government  policies  and  regulations   could   restrict  the
       purchase  of  various grains, reducing or  limiting Seaboard's
       ability to access grains or  to  limit  Seaboard's sales price
       for grains sold in local markets.

  (2)  Fluctuations  in Commodity Grain Prices Could Adversely Affect
       the Business of Seaboard's Commodity & Milling Division.  This
       division's  sales  are significantly affected  by  fluctuating
       worldwide prices for various commodities, such as wheat, corn,
       soybeans  and rice.  These prices are determined by constantly
       changing  market forces of supply and demand as well as  other
       factors  over which Seaboard has little or no control.   North
       American  and  European  subsidized  wheat and  flour exports,
       including  donated  food  aid,  and  world-wide and local crop
       production  can  contribute   to   these   fluctuating  market
       conditions and can have a  significant  impact  on the trading
       and milling businesses' sales,  value  of  commodities held in
       inventory  and  operating   income.   Seaboard's   results  of
       operations  could  be  adversely  affected  by fluctuations in
       commodity prices.

  (3)  Seaboard's Commodity & Milling Division Largely Depends on the
       Availability  of  Chartered  Ships.  Most  of Seaboard's third
       party  trading  is  transported with chartered ships.  Charter
       hire  rates,  influenced  by  available  charter  capacity and
       demand for worldwide  trade  in bulk  cargoes, port access and
       throughput time, and related  fuel  costs can impact  business
       volumes and margins.

  (4)  This Division Uses a Material Amount of Derivative Products to
       Manage Certain Market Risks.  The commodity trading portion of
       the  business  enters  into  various   commodity  derivatives,
       foreign exchange derivatives and freight derivatives to create
       what  management  believes  is an economic hedge for commodity
       trades it  executes or intends  to execute with its customers.
       From time to time, this portion of the business may enter into
       speculative  derivative  transactions  related  to  its market
       risks.  Failure  to  execute  or  improper   execution   of  a
       derivative position or a firmly  committed  sale  or  purchase
       contract, a speculative transaction that  closes  without  the
       desired result or exposure to counter party risk could have an
       adverse impact on the results of operations  and liquidity.

  (5)  This   Division  is  Subject to Higher than Normal  Risks  for
       Attracting  and  Retaining  Key  Personnel.  In  the commodity
       trading  environment,  a  loss  of  a  key  employee such as a
       commodity trader can have a negative impact resulting from the
       loss  of  revenues  as  personal customer relationships can be
       vital to obtaining and retaining business with various foreign
       customers.  In the milling portion of this division, employing
       and retaining  qualified expatriate personnel is a key element
       of  success  given the difficult living conditions, the unique
       operating environments and  the reliance on a relatively small
       number of executives to manage each individual location.

(d) Marine Division

  (1)  The  Demand  for  Seaboard's  Marine Division's  Services  Are
       Affected by International Trade and Fluctuating Freight Rates.
       This  division provides containerized cargo shipping  services
       primarily  from  the  United  States  to twenty-five different
       countries  in  the Caribbean Basin, Central and South America.
       In addition to  the risks  of overseas operations mentioned in
       clause  (a)(2) above,  fluctuations  in  economic  conditions,
       unstable  or  hostile  local  political   situations   in  the
       countries in which Seaboard operates  can affect import/export
       trade volumes and the price of container  freight  rates   and
       adversely affect  Seaboard's  results  of operations.

  (2)  Chartered Ships Are Subject to Fluctuating Rates.  The largest
       expense  for  this  division  is  typically time charter cost.
       Certain  of  the ships are under charters longer than one year
       while  others  are  less than  one year.  These costs can vary
       greatly due to a  number  of  factors  including the worldwide
       supply  and  demand  for  shipping.  It  is  not  possible  to
       determine in advance whether  a  charter  contract for more or
       less than one year will be favorable  to  Seaboard's business.
       Accordingly, entering into long-term  charter  hire  contracts
       during periods of decreasing charter hire costs  or short term
       charter hire contracts  during  periods  of increasing charter
       hire costs could have an adverse effect  on Seaboard's results
       of operation.

  (3)  Fuel  Prices  Can  Adversely Affect Seaboard's Business.  Ship
       fuel  expenses  are  one  of  the division's largest expenses.
       These  costs  can  vary greatly from year-to-year depending on
       world fuel  prices.  Also,  but to a lesser extent, fuel price
       increases can impact the cost of inland transportation costs.

  (4)  Hurricanes   Can  Disrupt  Operations in the Caribbean  Basin.
       Seaboard's port operations throughout  the Caribbean Basin can
       be  subject  to  disruption  due  to hurricanes, especially at
       Seaboard's  major  ports in Miami, Florida and Houston, Texas,
       which  could  have  an  adverse  effect  on  our   results  of
       operations.

<PAGE> 11

  (5)  Seaboard  is  Subject to Complex Laws and Regulations that Can
       Adversely Affect the Revenues, Cost, Manner or  Feasibility of
       Doing  Business.   Federal, state and local laws and  domestic
       and  international  regulations  governing  worker  health and
       safety,  environmental protection, port and terminal security,
       and the  operation  of vessels significantly affect Seaboard's
       operations,  including  rate  discussions  and  other  related
       arrangements.  Many  aspects of the marine industry, including
       rate  agreements,  are  subject  to    extensive  governmental
       regulation by the  Federal Maritime Commission, the U.S. Coast
       Guard,  and  U.S. Customs  and  Border  Protection,   and   to
       regulation   by  private  industry  organizations.  Compliance
       with applicable laws, regulations and  standards  may  require
       installation of costly equipment or operational changes, while
       the failure to comply may result in  administrative  and civil
       penalties, criminal sanctions or the suspension or termination
       of  Seaboard's  operations  or  detention  of its vessels.  In
       addition, future changes in laws, regulations and   standards,
       including allowed freight rate discussions and other   related
       arrangements,  may result  in additional  costs or a reduction
       in revenues.

(e) Sugar Division

  (1)  The Success  of this  Division Depends on the Condition of the
       Argentinean  Economy  and  Political  Climate.  This  division
       operates  a  sugar  mill  and  alcohol  production facility in
       Argentina, locally  growing a substantial portion of the sugar
       cane processed at the mill.   The majority of  the  sales  are
       within  Argentina.  Fluctuations  in  economic  conditions  or
       changes in the Argentine  political climate can have an impact
       on the costs of operations,  the  sales prices of products and
       export opportunities and the  exchange  rate  of the Argentine
       peso to the U.S. dollar.  In this  regard,  local sales prices
       are affected by government  price  control  and  sugar  import
       duties imposed by the Argentine government,    impacting local
       volume sold, as well as imported and  exported  volumes to and
       from  international  markets.  If  import  duties are changed,
       this could have a negative impact on Seaboard's sale price  of
       its  products.  In addition, the Argentine government attempts
       to  control  inflation  through price controls on commodities,
       including  sugar, which could adversely impact the local sales
       price of its  products  and the results of operations for this
       division.  A  devaluation  of  the Argentine peso would have a
       negative impact on Seaboard's financial position.

  (2)  This Division is Subject to the Risks that Are Inherent in any
       Agricultural  Business.  Seaboard's  results of operations for
       this  division  may  be adversely affected by numerous factors
       over which we  have little or no control and that are inherent
       in any  agricultural  business,  including  reductions  in the
       market  prices  for  Seaboard's  products, adverse weather and
       growing  conditions,  pest  and  disease  problems,  and   new
       government regulations regarding agriculture and the marketing
       of agricultural products. Of these risks, weather particularly
       can adversely affect the amount and quality  of the sugar cane
       produced  by  Seaboard  and  Seaboard's competitors located in
       other regions of Argentina.

  (3)  The   Loss   of   Seaboard's  Sole Processing  Facility  Would
       Adversely  Affect  the  Business of This Division.  Seaboard's
       Sugar Division is largely dependant on the continued operation
       of a  single  processing  facility.  The  loss of or damage to
       this  facility  for  any  reason - including  fire,   tornado,
       governmental action,  labor  unrest resulting in labor strikes
       or other reasons - would adversely affect the business of this
       division.

  (4)  Labor   Relations.  This  division  is dependent on  unionized
       labor at  its  single  sugar  mill  in Argentina.  The current
       nature of  the political environment in Argentina makes normal
       labor  relations  very  challenging.   Contributing   to   the
       situation  are  the  policies  of the National Government, the
       failure  of  the  Argentine  courts  to   enforce  contractual
       obligations   with   unions    and   basic   property  rights.
       Interruptions in production as a result of labor unrest    can
       impact  the quantity of sugar cane harvested and the amount of
       sugar  and  alcohol  produced  as  well  as  interrupting  the
       distribution  of  products stored at the facility in the Salta
       Province.

(f) Power Division

  (1)  This  Division  is  Subject to Risks of Doing Business in  the
       Dominican  Republic.  This division operates in the  Dominican
       Republic  (DR).  In    addition    to    significant  currency
       fluctuations  and  the  other  risks  of  overseas  operations
       mentioned in clause (a)(2) above, this division can experience
       difficulty   in   obtaining   timely   collections   of  trade
       receivables from  the  government partially-owned distribution
       companies or other companies that must  also  collect from the
       government  in  order  to  make  payments  on  their accounts.
       Currently,  the  DR  does  not  allow  a free market to enable
       prices to rise with demand which would limit our profitability
       in   this  business.  The   government   has  the  ability  to
       arbitrarily  decide which power units will be able to operate,
       which could have adverse effects on results of operations.

<PAGE> 12

  (2)  Increases  in  Fuel Costs  Could Adversely  Affect  Seaboard's
       Operating Margins.  Fuel is the largest cost component of this
       division's  business and, therefore, margins may be  adversely
       affected by fluctuations in fuel if such increases  can not be
       fully passed to customers.

  (3)  Ability  to  Meet  Obligations  Under  Asset  Sale  Agreement.
       Seaboard's  agreement  to  sell its  Dominican Republic barges
       requires  that  they  meet  certain  performance  standards at
       closing, which if  not  met  will  result in Seaboard being in
       breach  of  the  agreement  which  could  result  in  Seaboard
       incurring significant damages.

Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments

None

Item 2.  Properties

(1)  Pork - Seaboard's Pork Division owns a hog processing plant in
Guymon,  Oklahoma,  which opened in 1995.  It has  a  daily  double
shift  capacity to process approximately 18,500 hogs and  generally
operates  at  capacity with additional weekend shifts depending  on
market conditions. Seaboard's hog production operations consist  of
the breeding and raising of approximately 4.0 million hogs annually
at facilities it primarily owns or at facilities owned and operated
by  third parties with whom it has grower contracts.  This business
owns  and  operates six centrally located feed mills which  have  a
combined  capacity  to  produce  approximately  1,700,000  tons  of
formulated  feed  annually  used primarily  to  support  Seaboard's
existing  hog  production,  and have the capability  of  supporting
additional  hog  production in the future.   These  facilities  are
located in Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Colorado.

Seaboard's  Pork  Division also owns two bacon  further  processing
plants  located  in  Salt  Lake City, Utah and  Missoula,  Montana.
These  plants are utilized near capacity throughout the year, which
is  a  combined  daily  smoking capacity of  approximately  300,000
pounds  of  raw  pork bellies. The Pork Division  also  operates  a
majority-owned ham-boning and processing plant in Mexico  that  has
the  capacity to process 58.0 million pounds of ham annually.  This
plant was completed in the second quarter of 2009.

The  Pork Division owns a processing plant in Guymon, Oklahoma with
the capacity to produce 30.0 million gallons of biodiesel annually,
which  is  currently produced from pork fat from Seaboard's  Guymon
pork  processing plant and from animal fat supplied by non-Seaboard
facilities.  The facility can also produce biodiesel from vegetable
oil.

(2)   Commodity Trading and Milling - Seaboard's Commodity  Trading
and  Milling  Division owns, in whole or in part,  grain-processing
and  related agribusiness operations in 12 countries which have the
capacity to mill approximately 6,700 metric tons of wheat and maize
per day.  In addition, Seaboard has feed mill capacity of in excess
of  129  metric tons per hour to produce formula animal feed.   The
milling  operations  located in Colombia,  Democratic  Republic  of
Congo, Ecuador, Guyana, Haiti, Kenya, Lesotho, Nigeria, Republic of
Congo, Sierra Leone, Uganda and Zambia own their facilities; and in
Kenya,  Lesotho,  Nigeria, Republic of Congo and Sierra  Leone  the
land  on  which the mills are located on is leased under  long-term
agreements.  Certain foreign milling operations may operate at less
than  full  capacity  due to low demand related  to  poor  consumer
purchasing  power,  excess milling capacity  in  their  competitive
environment  and  European-subsidized  wheat  and  flour   exports.
Seaboard  also  owns  seven 9,000 metric-ton  deadweight  dry  bulk
carriers,  one 23,400 metric ton deadweight dry bulk  carrier,  and
"time  charters" (the charter of a vessel, whereby the vessel owner
is responsible to provide the captain and crew necessary to operate
the  vessel)  under short-term agreements, between 13 and  44  bulk
carrier  ocean vessels with deadweights ranging from 500 to  44,000
metric tons.

(3)   Marine  - Seaboard's Marine Division leases a 135,000  square
foot  off-port  warehouse and 81 acres of port  terminal  land  and
facilities  in  Miami, Florida which are used in its  containerized
cargo  operations.  Seaboard also leases an approximately  62  acre
cargo  handling  and  terminal facility in  Houston,  Texas,  which
includes several on-dock warehouses totaling approximately  690,000
square  feet  for  cargo storage.  At December 31,  2009,  Seaboard
owned 12 ocean cargo vessels with deadweights ranging from 2,600 to
19,500  metric  tons and time chartered 22 vessels under  contracts
ranging   from  approximately  five  months   to  two  years   with
deadweights ranging from 3,400 to 21,500 metric tons.  In addition,
Seaboard has contracted to charter two vessels on a four-year  time
charter.  Delivery of these two time chartered ships, each  with  a
deadweight of 26,500 metric tons, is expected in the first half  of
2010.    Seaboard  also  owns  or  leases  dry,  refrigerated   and
specialized containers and other related equipment.

<PAGE> 13

(4)   Sugar  - Seaboard's Argentine Sugar Division owns  more  than
60,000  acres  of  planted sugarcane.  Depending  on  local  market
conditions,  this  business also purchases third  party  sugar  for
resale.   In  addition, this division owns  a  sugar  mill  with  a
current  capacity to process approximately 250,000 metric  tons  of
sugar  and  an  alcohol  distillery  with  a  current  capacity  of
approximately  14  million  gallons  of  alcohol  per  year.   This
capacity is sufficient to process all of the cane harvested by this
division  and  certain additional quantities purchased  from  third
party  farmers in the region.  The sugarcane fields and  processing
mill are located in northern Argentina in the Salta Province, which
experiences  seasonal rainfalls that may limit the harvest  season,
which  then  affects the duration of mill operations and quantities
of  sugar  produced.   During the third  quarter  of  2010,  it  is
anticipated  that construction will be completed on a  40  megawatt
cogeneration power plant.

(5)   Power - Seaboard's Power Division owns two floating  electric
power  generating  facilities, consisting of  a  system  of  diesel
engines  mounted  onto barge-type vessels, with  a  combined  rated
capacity of approximately 112 megawatts, both located on the  Ozama
River  in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.  Seaboard operates  as
an  independent power producer.  Seaboard is not directly  involved
in  the  transmission and distribution facilities that deliver  the
power to the end users but does have contracts to sell directly  to
third party users.  See "Status of Product or Segment" under Item 1
of  this  report  for discussion of the pending  sale  of  the  two
barges.

(6)   Other - Seaboard owns a jalapeno pepper processing plant  and
warehouse in Honduras.

                              PART II

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder
Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Seaboard's  Board of Directors intends that Seaboard will  continue
to pay quarterly dividends, with the actual amount of any dividends
being   dependant   upon  such  factors  as  Seaboard's   financial
condition,  results of operations and current and anticipated  cash
needs, including capital requirements.  As discussed in Note  8  of
the consolidated financial statements appearing on pages 44 and  45
of the Seaboard Corporation Annual Report to Stockholders furnished
to the Commission pursuant to Rule 14a-3(b) and attached as Exhibit
13  to  this  Report  (which discussion is incorporated  herein  by
reference),  Seaboard's ability to declare  and  pay  dividends  is
subject  to limitations imposed by the note agreements referred  to
there.

Seaboard  has  not  established  any equity  compensation  plans  or

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation  of Disclosure Controls and Procedures - As of  December
31,  2009, Seaboard's management has evaluated, under the direction
of   our   chief  executive  and  chief  financial  officers,   the
effectiveness of Seaboard's disclosure controls and procedures,  as
defined in Exchange Act rule 13a - 15(e).  Based upon and as of the
date  of  that  evaluation, Seaboard's chief  executive  and  chief
financial  officers  concluded that Seaboard's disclosure  controls
and  procedures were effective to ensure that information  required
to  be  disclosed  in the reports it files and  submits  under  the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized
and  reported  as and when required.  It should be noted  that  any
system of disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed
and  operated,  can  provide  only reasonable,  and  not  absolute,
assurance  that the objectives of the system are met.  In addition,
the  design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures  is
based  in  part  upon  assumptions about the likelihood  of  future
events.   Due to these and other inherent limitations of  any  such
system,  there  can  be no assurance that any  design  will  always
succeed  in  achieving its stated goals under all potential  future
conditions.

The foregoing is incorporated herein by reference.


The   individual  financial  statements  of  the  nonconsolidated

foreign affiliates do not exceed 20% of the total assets as shown
by  the most recent consolidated balance sheet and (b) Seaboard's
and  its other subsidiaries' equity in the earnings before income
taxes and extraordinary items of the foreign affiliates does  not
exceed   20%   of  such  income  of  Seaboard  and   consolidated
subsidiaries  compared to the average income for  the  last  five
fiscal years.

Combined   condensed   financial  information   as   to   assets,
liabilities  and  results of operations have been  presented  for
nonconsolidated  foreign affiliates in Note 5 of  "Notes  to  the

     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Seaboard Corporation:

Under  date  of  March 5, 2010, we reported on  the  consolidated
balance  sheets  of  Seaboard Corporation and  subsidiaries  (the
Company)  as  of  December 31, 2009 and  2008,  and  the  related
consolidated statements of earnings, changes in equity  and  cash
flows  for  each  of  the  years in the three-year  period  ended
December  31, 2009, as contained in the December 31, 2009  annual
report  to stockholders.  These consolidated financial statements
and  our  report  thereon are incorporated by  reference  in  the
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,  2009.
In  connection with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated
financial  statements, we also audited the  related  consolidated
financial  statement  schedule, as  listed  in  the  accompanying
index.   This  financial statement schedule is the responsibility
of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on this financial statement schedule based on our audits.

In   our   opinion,  such  financial  statement  schedule,   when
considered  in  relation  to  the  basic  consolidated  financial
statements  taken as a whole, presents fairly,  in  all  material
respects, the information set forth therein.

                      SEABOARD CORPORATION
             CASH BALANCE EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN


                           ARTICLE I.
                       HISTORY AND PURPOSE

     Seaboard  Corporation  (the  "Company")  adopts  this   Cash
Balance  Executive Retirement Plan (the "Plan") effective  as  of
January  1,  2009.  The Company previously adopted  the  Seaboard
Corporation  409A  Executive Retirement Plan (the  "SERP  Plan"),
amended and restated effective January 1, 2009.  Section 457A  of
the  Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the  "Code")  was
recently adopted and provides for adverse tax consequences to the
employees   of   certain  foreign  affiliates  of   the   Company
participating in the SERP Plan.  Accordingly, the Participants in
the  SERP Plan listed on the Addendum A attached hereto shall  be
removed  as  Participants  from  the  SERP  Plan,  and  shall  be
Participants  under this Plan.  The purpose of this  Plan  is  to
provide  a  supplemental retirement benefit to  the  Participants
which  is  substantially similar to the benefits that would  have
been provided to said Participants under the SERP Plan.  The Plan
is  intended  to satisfy the requirements of Code  Section  457A.
The  Plan  shall  be  interpreted and administered  in  a  manner
consistent with this intent.

                           ARTICLE II.
                           DEFINITIONS

     For  the  purpose  of  this Plan, the  following  words  and
phrases  shall  have  the meaning indicated, unless  the  context
clearly indicates otherwise:

determined as of a particular time  under  the provisions of this
Plan.

     2.2. Board  means  the  Board  of  Directors  of    Seaboard
Corporation.

     2.3. Change   of   Control means  an  event  or  transaction
described  below;  provided,  however,  an  event  or transaction
described below will not  be  a Change of Control for purposes of
a payment event under the  Plan unless  it  constitutes  a change
in the ownership  or  effective control  of  the  Company,  or in
the  ownership  of  a substantial  portion  of  the assets of the
Company, within the meaning of  Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v):

     (a)  The acquisition by any  unrelated  person  or entity of
          more than fifty percent (50%) of either the outstanding
          shares of  common stock or the combined voting power of
          the  Company's  then  outstanding   voting   securities
          entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;

     (b)  The  sale  to  an unrelated person or entity of Company
          assets  that  have  a  total gross fair market value of
          more than  eighty-five percent (85%) of the total gross
          fair market value of  all  of the assets of the Company
          immediately prior to such sale;

     (c)  The  acquisition,  whether  by  reorganization, merger,
          consolidation,  purchase or similar transaction, by any
          person or  entity  or  more than  one person  or entity

<PAGE>

          acting as a group of  more than fifty  percent (50%) of
          the outstanding shares of stock  of  the Company or the
          combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the
          election of directors of the Company or  the  entity in
          which   the   Company   was   reorganized,  merged   or
          consolidated into;

     (d)  The acquisition by any person or entity  (other than by
          any  descendant  of  Otto Bresky,  Senior  or any trust
          established primarily for the benefit of any descendant
          of Otto Bresky,  Senior  or any other related person or

For  purposes of determining whether there has been a  Change  of
Control  under  this  Section 2.3, the attribution  of  ownership

                       RETIREMENT BENEFITS

     4.1. Determination  of  Accrued  Benefit.   A  Participant's
Accrued Benefit is a benefit payable in  the form of a  lump  sum
payment made on  the  date  described in Section 5.3 below, in an
amount equal to the balance in the  Cash Balance  Account  as  of
the Event Payment Date (as defined in Section  4.3  below).   The
Cash  Balance  Account for each Participant shall equal:  (a) the
SERP Lump Sum Actuarial  Value, as shown on  Addendum  B attached
hereto;  plus/minus  (b)  the  cumulative  amount   of all Annual
Cash Balance  Allocations  made  pursuant  to  Section 4.2 below;
plus/minus (c)  the  Final  Cash Balance  Account Allocation made
pursuant to Section 4.3  below; plus (d)  the Interest Allocation
made pursuant to  Section  4.4 below; less (e) the sum of all Tax
Distributions made pursuant to Section 4.5 below.

     4.2. Annual Allocation to Cash Balance Account.
Approximately  thirty  (30) days  prior  to the end of each Year,
the  Company  shall  cause  its actuary  to  calculate  the  SERP
Actuarial  Value as of the end of the Year.  To  the  extent  the
SERP  Actuarial Value is more than the then Cash Balance  Account
(taking  into  account  the  Interest  Allocation  and  the   Tax
Distribution to be made pursuant to Sections 4.4 and  4.5  below)
(the  "Deficiency"),  there shall be added to  the  Cash  Balance
Account  an  amount equal to the Deficiency.  To the  extent  the
SERP  Actuarial Value is less than the then Cash Balance  Account
(taking  into  account  the  Interest  Allocation  and  the   Tax
Distribution, if any, to be made pursuant to Sections 4.4 and 4.5
below)  (the  "Surplus"), there shall be deducted from  the  Cash
Balance Account an amount equal to the Surplus (the amount  added
to  or  deducted from the Cash Balance Account pursuant  to  this
Section  4.2  being hereinafter referred to as the  "Annual  Cash
Balance Allocation").

     4.3. Final  Cash  Balance Account Allocation.    As  soon as
practicable   after   the    earliest    to   occur   of: ( a)  a
Participant's   Separation  of  Service;  (b)   a   Participant's
Disability; (c) a Participant's death; or (d) a Change of Control
(each,  an  "Event Payment Date"), the Company  shall  cause  its
actuary  to  calculate the SERP Actuarial Value as of  the  Event
Payment  Date.   To the extent the SERP Actuarial Value  is  more
than  the  then  Cash Balance Account (taking  into  account  the
Interest  Allocation to be made pursuant to  Section  4.4  below)
(the  "Final  Deficiency"), there shall  be  added  to  the  Cash
Balance Account an amount equal to the Final Deficiency.  To  the
extent  the  SERP  Actuarial Value is less  than  the  then  Cash
Balance  Account (taking into account the Interest Allocation  to
be  made  pursuant  to Section 4.4 below) (the "Final  Surplus"),
there  shall be deducted from the Cash Balance Account an  amount
equal to the Final Surplus (the amount being added to or deducted
from  the Cash Balance Account pursuant to this Section 4.3 being
hereinafter referred to as the "Final Cash Balance Allocation").

     4.4. Interest Allocation to Cash  Balance  Account.   Simple
interest   shall   accrue   on   the   amount of the Cash Balance
Account  at  the  Market Interest Rate.  Such interest  shall  be
allocated to the account as of the end of each Year and as of the
Event  Payment  Date  in connection with the Final  Cash  Balance
Allocation (the "Interest Allocation").


<PAGE> 5

     4.5. Tax Distributions.  Prior  to  the end of each Year, to
the extent  there  is  an amount  includible  in income by reason
of Section  457A  of  the  Code,  the  Company  shall pay to each
Participant before the end of each Year  an  amount  equal to the
product  of:  (a)  the  Tax  Distribution  Percentage (as defined
below); and (b)  the  sum of the  Annual  Cash Balance Allocation
and the Interest  Allocation  for  such  Year included  in income
under Section 457A of the Code,  provided  such  sum is positive,
representing  the  estimated  federal  and    state   taxes   the
Participant  will  incur  as a result  of  said  allocations (the
"Annual Tax Distribution").

          In  connection with any reporting of the SERP Lump  Sum
Actuarial Value as income on the W-2 of a Participant pursuant to
Section  7.1  below, the Company shall pay to such Participant  a
payment of the Tax Distribution Percentage of the amount  of  the
SERP Lump Sum Actuarial Value, representing the estimated federal
and state income taxes the Participant will incur as a result  of
said  reporting  (the "SERP Tax Distribution") (the  sum  of  the
Annual  Tax  Distributions  and the  SERP  Tax  Distribution  are
collectively referred to as the "Tax Distributions").

          Notwithstanding  the  foregoing, no  Tax  Distributions
shall be made unless and until a Participant becomes fully vested
in  the Plan pursuant to Section 5.1 below.  Prior to the end  of
the Year in which a Participant becomes fully vested in the Plan,
the  Company  shall  pay such Participant the  Tax  Distributions
which  Participant would have been paid had the Participant  been
vested.

          For  purposes  of this Agreement, the Tax  Distribution
Percentage for each Participant shall initially be as  set  forth
on  Addendum  B.   The Company may increase or decrease  the  Tax
Distribution Amount for any Year and Participant by a  notice  to
each Participant.

          Company on the Participant's Normal Retirement Date; or

     (b)  The  Participant's  Disability  as  determined  by  the

<PAGE> 6

     5.2. Forfeitures.  If the Participant does not have a vested
Accrued  Benefit under the provisions  of  Section 5.1  upon  the
Participant's  Separation  Date,  then  the Participant's Accrued
Benefit  will  be forfeited.

     5.3. Payment of Lump Sum.  The  Participant's vested Accrued
Benefit  shall  be  paid  in  a  lump  sum  payment  as  soon  as
administratively feasible in  accordance   with   then applicable
provisions   of  the   Code  after: (a)  the   Participant  has a
Separation from Service; (b) there has been a  Change  of Control
which occurs prior to  the  date the Participant has a Separation
from Service; or (c) the Participant incurs  a  Disability  prior
to the date  the  Participant  has  a  Separation  from  Service.
Payment of all or a  portion  of  the  Accrued  Benefit  may   be
delayed by up  to  six  (6)  months  in  accordance with the then
applicable provisions of the Code.

     5.4. Death Benefit.   If  the  Participant dies prior to the
lump  sum  payment  of Participant's  Accrued  Benefit, then  the
Participant's   vested  Accrued  Benefit  will  be  paid  to  the
Participant's beneficiary  as  determined   under  Section 5.5 as
soon  as  practical  after the Participant's death in the form of
a lump sum payment.

     5.5. Determination of  Beneficiary.   Each Participant  from
time to time may designate any person or persons,  trust,  estate
or charitable institution  (who  may  be designated  concurrently
or   contingently)   to   whom   the Participant's vested Accrued
Benefit under the Plan will be paid if the Participant dies prior
to the lump sum  payment  of  the  Participant's Accrued Benefit.
A beneficiary designation will be  effective  only  if  filed  in
writing with the Plan  Administrator  while  the   Participant is
alive.  The Participant's  beneficiary will  be  the  beneficiary
designated on the  last  such  written  designation  filed by the
Participant prior to the  Participant's death.

          If   a   Participant  fails  to  validly  designate   a
beneficiary,  then  the  Participant's beneficiary  will  be  the
Participant's  Eligible  Spouse, but if the  Participant  is  not
survived by an Eligible Spouse then the Participant's beneficiary
will  be the personal representative of the Participant's estate;
provided, however, if the Participant does not otherwise  have  a
probate  estate, the Plan Administrator may pay the Participant's
vested  Accrued Benefit to such person or persons whom  the  Plan
Administrator  determines, in the Plan Administrator's  sole  and
absolute  discretion,  would be the beneficiaries  in  a  probate
proceeding, and the Plan Administrator shall have no liability to
any person for any such determination.

established by the  Company  that  is  subject  to  the creditors
of the Company but which  assets  must otherwise be used  for the
purpose of paying  Accrued  Benefits hereunder.   In  the   event
of a Change of Control,  the  Company will, as soon  as practical
following such Change  of  Control,  deposit  or  cause   to   be
deposited in  such  trust  an  amount sufficient  (as  determined
by the  Company's  actuary  for  its Pension  Plan)  to  pay  all
vested  Accrued  Benefits  of   the  Participants  as  determined
as of the first day  following  such  Change  of  Control, to the
extent such amounts are  not  payable  within ninety (90) days of

Participants for each Year  (and   after  the Event Payment Date)
shall report the Annual  Cash  Balance   Allocation  (Final  Cash
Balance  Allocation)  and  the  Interest  Allocation  pursuant to
Section 4.4 above, provided  the net  amount  of said allocations
is positive, to the extent  such inclusion  in income is required
by Section 457A of the  Code  or otherwise.   Notwithstanding the

becomes vested.

Plan,  pursuant  to  written  resolution  adopted  by  the Board;
provided, however, no amendment  shall  be  effective to decrease

fully vested  in  their  Accrued Benefits.  Any payment hereunder
will  be  made  as  provided  herein  regardless  of   the   Plan
termination except to  the extent  not allowed under Code Section
457A.  In addition to  the preceding  amendment authority of  the
Board,  the  appropriate officers  of  the Company are authorized
to amend the  Plan  from time to time  as they deem advisable for
purposes of complying with any provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code  and  Treasury  Regulations and any other guidance issued by

                     Letter to Stockholders

This  was  a  challenging year for us financially as we  suffered
through   both  the  general  worldwide  recession  plus  certain
industry and country specific disruptions. With operations in  39
countries  in  a  broad  mix  of industries,  it  is  practically
impossible  to  hit  on all cylinders; on the  other  hand,  this
diversification  fuels our growth and reduces volatility  in  our
financial  results. Globally, we can always count on  supply  and
demand   imbalances,  political  and  economic  disruptions   and
extraordinary  natural  and man-made  disasters  to  create  both
challenges and opportunities. Controlling those areas  which  are
within our control namely, quality of product, service and costs,
and  maintaining an effective operating environment and  a  well-
defined culture, remain our goal at Seaboard. In this regard,  we
have not wavered in 2009.

Although  net  income for 2009 was down 37% from 2008,  operating
income, a more indicative reflection of performance, was down 80%
year to year, from $121.8 million to $23.7 million. Gross margins
have  narrowed  overall and we are mindful of the  trend  of  our
increased general and administrative expenses.  Our balance sheet
remains extremely strong with plenty of liquidity to fund working
capital increases, weather unexpected losses and make substantial
investments should opportunities arise. Over the last four years,
we  have  spent  almost $440 million in capital  improvements  to
drive  growth  and  to keep us operationally efficient  and  cost
effective.  We continue to monitor the marketplace in  search  of
investments which are strategic and long-term in nature in  hopes
of  finding  complementary and synergistic businesses to  augment
our existing portfolio.

It's  hard  to  imagine a more chaotic year than  2008  but  2009
proved  to  be  even more extraordinary for us. Specifically,  we
suffered  through  the  havoc created by the  H1N1  virus  as  it
impacted  the  entire protein sector, including  Seaboard  Foods.
This  resulted  in a sharp reduction in prices  and  volumes  for
several months. In addition, political forces took their toll  in
certain countries: in Argentina, with domestic price controls; in
Venezuela, with nationalization of certain ports of call  and  in
the  U.S.,  with  the increased role and impact  of  the  federal
government in the economy and commercial markets.  Although  each
of  these  events affected us negatively, our diversification  in
business segments and geographic locations allowed us to  cushion
the  blow  and no single event caused irreparable or irreversible
damage.  As  we  expand  our  reach  worldwide  and  broaden  our
interests,  the  probability of adverse incidents  increases  but
with a lesser impact on the company overall.

While pork processing and further processing margins continued to
produce good results, losses from hog production more than offset
those  positive  results. The H1N1 flu and  recessionary  factors
contributed  to lower product prices by reducing overall  demand.
While 2009 was a difficult year for everyone in the industry,  we
remain  extremely  confident  that  the  attributes  of  vertical
integration   such   as   food  safety,   product   quality   and
consistency will provide us a competitive advantage over the long-
term.  Hog producers cannot sustain continued losses and although
processors know this, competing meats, uncertainty in the  export
markets  and  permanent changes in feed grain  usage/demand  have
resulted  in an environment which has created volatility  in  our
earnings.  Ultimately,  we believe the US  will  adapt  to  these
changes  by  continuing to enlarge the supply  of  grain  and  by
satisfying protein demand through efficient animal production and
processing.

Including  our  marketing agreement with Triumph Foods,  Seaboard
Foods markets about 9% market share of all pork processed in  the
U.S.,  making us the fourth largest pork processor. We  are  also
the  second largest hog producer in the U.S. It is our  intention
to  leverage this position to capture additional margins  with  a
broader mix of value-added products, retail alliances and further
processing activities.

Aside from these macro issues, we continue to launch new products
for  foodservice and retail markets in both the U.S. and  abroad.
With   consistent  quality,  food  safety  and  farm  to   market
identification,  we  expect  our  vertically  integrated   system
to  continue  to  provide us significant opportunities  as  these
issues  become more and more important to end consumers  in  both
domestic  and  export markets.  We are hopeful that the  toughest
times are behind us.

Ocean transportation is one of the best indicators in gauging the
health  of the global economy and multi-lateral trade. Consistent
with  the  worldwide recession and contracted global trade,  both
Seaboard  Marine volumes and overall freight rates  decreased  in
2009.  The strength of our many trade lanes depends on the health
of  tourism,  textiles, mining and GNP growth  in  the  Caribbean
Basin  and Latin America. This year marked the first decrease  in
year-over-year unit volumes for Seaboard Marine in over a decade.
Many of our global competitors have suffered enormous losses over
the  last  year  due to shrinking trade volumes and overcapacity.
Price wars ensued early in the year seemingly without regard  for
financial  consequences. As trade patterns  began  to  stabilize,
shipping  companies  throughout the world began  the  process  of
reducing  capacity in a variety of ways to match  trade  volumes.
Due to reduced demand, ship charter rates decreased significantly
and  we  were able to take advantage of these cost savings.  Over
the  last several years, we have upgraded our container fleet and
cargo handling equipment and with the decline in ship values,  we
continue  to  reconfigure  our fleet  through  a  combination  of
chartered  and  owned  tonnage. This is a  great  opportunity  to
utilize more modern, efficient and versatile vessels.

Sadly,   our  weekly  service  into  Port-au-Prince,  Haiti   was
interrupted by the devastating earthquake on January 12, 2010. We
are  currently maintaining our service via a twice weekly  feeder
vessel  from  Kingston, Jamaica through the

<PAGE> 2

temporary use  of  a sister  company's  grain berth in Laffiteau,
Haiti.  Despite  the tragedy,  it  has  been  gratifying  to  see
Seaboard  Marine  and Commodity Trading and Milling  (CT&M)  work
together to quickly and creatively provide the transportation and
discharge  facilities needed for  critical  relief and commercial
cargoes.

Although  many  shipping  lines  drastically   scaled   back  and
suffered tremendous  financial losses  in 2009,  Seaboard  Marine
stayed  the course.  All routes were maintained at a high service
level.  The philosophy  of  creative   and  responsive   customer
service  will continue.  Having   created   a network  of  strong
port to port connections throughout the Caribbean Basin and Latin
America   over   the   years,  Seaboard   Marine   remains   well
positioned to take advantage  of growing trade volumes within the
Western Hemisphere as the world economy recovers.

2009  proved  to  be  another  outstanding  year  for  CT&M,   an
impressive  result given the panic at the beginning of  the  year
with commodity prices in a freefall. Maintaining normal inventory
and  forward positions for our grain processing facilities had  a
negative impact on earnings. However, our access to liquidity and
lower  replacement cost inputs allowed our operations  to  retain
solid  margins.  The  quick rebound in the freight  markets  also
supported   CT&M's  earnings  as  our  ocean  freight   ownership
contributed to bottom line results.

CT&M   continues  to  expand  its  trading  business  to  satisfy
affiliate and third party raw material requirements by opening up
new  origins  of  supply,  improving  logistics  through  greater
control   of   vessel   transportation   and   modernizing   port
infrastructures.  In lesser developed countries,  controlling  as
many  components of the supply chain as possible becomes critical
to  quality of service. Toward this end, we have opened commodity
and freight trading offices in Europe, Latin America and the U.S.
and we continue to pursue potential investments in selected grain
origination  markets. In addition, we are expanding our  presence
in specialty commodities through investments in infrastructure in
Canada,  rice  milling  assets in Guyana and  a  trading  company
acquisition  which  we expect to close in the near  future.  This
year  we  have been successful in further integrating our milling
and  trading  businesses  by  moving more  products  through  our
destination markets. This affords us a greater degree of security
and  product  integrity. In 2010, we plan to further expand  this
model  to  move more cargo through our sister division,  Seaboard
Marine,  and  thus  exercise more transactional  control  of  our
commodity trade.

CT&M  plans  to pursue the expansion of its industrial operations
through  the acquisition or green-field development of additional
grain  based businesses, down-stream industries such as  poultry,
baking and pasta and the expansion and renovation of our existing
mill capacity in several markets. Our grain processing facilities
remain a critical piece of our integrated supply chain model.

Tragically, the massive earthquake in Haiti took the lives of  15
employees  of Les Moulins d' Haiti, our non-consolidated  milling
operation  near  Port-au-Prince. Fortunately, the  warehouse  and
storage  facilities  remain operational  and  adequate  insurance
coverage  was  in  place allowing Les Moulins d' Haiti to rebuild
and  expand  capacity. We expect  to resume milling operations in
early 2011.  Many  of our employees  and their families have lost
their homes  and suffered terribly  as a result of this disaster.
It  is our  intention  to   continue  to  support  our  employees
in  part through  continued  employment to support general  cargo
handling and flour merchandising through our private port
facilities.

Tabacal has made significant progress toward maximizing the long-
term value of its land and assets through the conversion of sugar
cane into sugar, alcohol and energy. Despite some minor setbacks,
this  business should be well positioned to take advantage of  an
improved world sugar and alcohol outlook. In the latter  half  of
2009,  world  sugar prices rose sharply. This  was  triggered  by
India's short crop and continued competition for sugar cane  from
ethanol.  In particular, Brazilian sugar production continues  to
compete  directly  with ethanol demand for  domestic  and  export
consumption and sugar prices have risen in tandem with  those  of
virtually  all  fossil  fuel sources.  Similarly,  Argentina  has
recently implemented a program requiring the blending of  ethanol
into  gasoline.  This  government  program  should  help  develop
alcohol  as  a  much  needed source of energy  as  well  as  help
stabilize the financial returns for land use.

Although  we  have  seen a troubling decline in operating  income
over  the  last five years, we are not demoralized.  In fact,  in
the face of these uncertain times, our diversified and integrated
structure  has  proven  to be a durable  and  sustainable  model.
Moreover,  our  success stems from the people  who  have  devoted
their  careers  to  Seaboard, who, I believe, display  a  genuine
sense  of  ownership  and  pride.  Our  people  have  helped   to
successfully carry us through good times and bad. In consistently
adhering  to the goal of producing quality products and  services
to our customers, maintaining a competitive spirit and conducting
ourselves with professionalism, integrity and respect, we  should
continue to enjoy a good measure of success.

Pork Division

Seaboard's  Pork  Division  is  one  of  the  largest  vertically
integrated  pork  processors in the United States.   Seaboard  is
able  to  control animal production and processing from  research
and  development in nutrition and genetics, to the production  of
high quality meat products at our processing facility.

Seaboard's  processing facility is located in  Guymon,  Oklahoma.
The  facility  has  a  daily  double shift  capacity  to  process
approximately 18,500 hogs and generally operates at capacity with
additional   weekend  shifts  depending  on  market   conditions.
Seaboard  produces and sells fresh and frozen  pork  products  to
further   processors,  foodservice  operators,  grocery   stores,
distributors  and  retail outlets throughout the  United  States.
Seaboard  also  sells to distributors and further  processors  in
Japan,  Mexico and other foreign markets.  Hogs processed at  the
plant  principally include Seaboard raised hogs as well  as  hogs
raised by third parties purchased under contract and in the  spot
market.

Seaboard's  hog  production facilities  consist  of  genetic  and
commercial  breeding, farrowing, nursery and finishing  buildings
located   in   Oklahoma,  Kansas,  Texas  and  Colorado.    These
facilities  have a capacity to produce approximately 4.0  million
hogs  annually.  Seaboard owns and operates six centrally located
feed mills to provide formulated feed to these facilities.

Seaboard's  Pork  Division also owns two bacon processing  plants
located  in  Salt  Lake  City, Utah and Missoula,  Montana.   The
processing  plants produce sliced and pre-cooked bacon  primarily
for  food  service.  These operations enabled Seaboard to  expand
its  integrated  pork  model  into value-added  products  and  to
enhance its ability to extend production to include other further
processed pork products.

In  the second quarter of 2008, Seaboard commenced production  of
biodiesel  at  a facility constructed in Guymon,  Oklahoma.   The
biodiesel  is produced from pork fat from Seaboard's Guymon  pork
processing  plant  and from animal fat supplied  by  non-Seaboard
facilities.   The  biodiesel  is  sold  to  third  parties.   The
facility  can also produce biodiesel from vegetable  oil.   Also,
during   2009  Seaboard  completed  construction  of  and   began
operations at a majority-owned ham-boning and processing plant in
Mexico.

Seaboard's  Pork Division has an agreement with  a  similar  size
pork processor, Triumph Foods LLC (Triumph), to market all of the
pork   products  produced  at  Triumph's  plant  in  St.  Joseph,
Missouri.   Pursuant  to  this agreement,  Seaboard  is  able  to
provide  the  same  quality products to its  customers  that  are
produced  in  its  own  facilities.  Seaboard  markets  the  pork
products  for  a  fee  primarily based  on  the  number  of  head
processed  by Triumph Foods and is entitled to be reimbursed  for
certain expenses.

Commodity Trading & Milling Division

Seaboard's  Commodity Trading & Milling Division  markets  wheat,
corn,  soybean meal, rice and other similar commodities  in  bulk
overseas  to  third  party  customers and  affiliated  companies.
These   commodities   are   purchased  worldwide   with   primary
destinations in Africa, South America, and the Caribbean.

The  division  annually sources, transports  and  markets  up  to
approximately  4.5  million metric tons of wheat,  corn,  soybean
meal,  rice and other related commodities to the food and  animal
feed  industries.   The  division  efficiently  provides  quality
products  and  reliable  services  to  industrial  customers   in
selected   markets.    Seaboard  integrates   the   delivery   of
commodities to its customers primarily through the use of company
owned and chartered bulk carriers.

Seaboard's  Commodity Trading and Milling Division has facilities
in  17 countries. The commodity trading business operates through
eight   offices  in  seven  countries  and  one  non-consolidated
affiliate  location  in  South  America.   The  grain  processing
businesses operate facilities at 24 locations in 12 countries and
include four consolidated and nine non-consolidated affiliates in
Africa,  South  America,  and  the Caribbean.   These  businesses
produce approximately 2.5 million metric tons of finished product
per year.

Marine Division

Seaboard's   Marine  Division  provides  containerized   shipping
service  between  the  United States, the  Caribbean  Basin,  and
Central   and  South  America.   Seaboard's  primary  operations,
located   in  Miami,  include  a  135,000  square-foot   off-port
warehouse  for cargo consolidation and temporary storage  and  an
81  acre  terminal at the Port of Miami.  At the Port of Houston,
Seaboard operates a 62 acre cargo terminal facility that includes
approximately 690,000 square feet of on-dock warehouse space  for
temporary  storage  of bagged grains, resins and  other  cargoes.
Seaboard also makes scheduled vessel calls to Brooklyn, New York,
Fernandina Beach, Florida, New Orleans, Louisiana and 40  foreign
ports.

Seaboard's marine fleet consists of 12 owned and approximately 22
chartered  vessels, as well as dry, refrigerated and  specialized
containers and other related equipment.  Seaboard is the  largest
shipper  in terms of cargo volume to and from the Port of  Miami.
Seaboard   Marine  provides  direct  service  to  25   countries.
Seaboard  also provides extended service from our domestic  ports
of  call  to  and  from multiple foreign destinations  through  a
network of connecting carrier agreements with major regional  and
global carriers.

To maximize fleet utilization, Seaboard uses a network of offices
and  agents throughout the United States, Canada, Latin  America,
and  the  Caribbean Basin to book both northbound and  southbound
cargo to and from the United States and between the countries  it
serves.    Seaboard's   full   service  capabilities,   including
agreements with a network of connecting carriers, allow transport
by  truck or rail of import and export cargo to and from  various
U.S. ports.  Seaboard's frequent sailings and fixed-day schedules
make  it  convenient  for  customers to coordinate  manufacturing
schedules  and  maintain  inventories at  cost-efficient  levels.
Seaboard's approach is to work in partnership with its  customers
to  provide  the  most reliable and effective  level  of  service
throughout  the  United States, Latin America and  the  Caribbean
Basin and between the countries it serves.

Other Divisions

In Argentina, Seaboard is involved in the production and refining
of  sugar.   The  sugar is primarily marketed locally  with  some
exports to the United States, other South American countries  and
Europe.  Seaboard's mill, one of the largest in Argentina, has  a
processing capacity of approximately 250,000 metric tons of sugar
and  approximately  14 million gallons of alcohol  (hydrated  and
dehydrated) per year.  The mill is located in the Salta  Province
of  northern  Argentina  with administrative  offices  in  Buenos
Aires.   Approximately 60,000 acres of land owned by Seaboard  in
Argentina is planted with sugar cane, which supplies the majority
of  the  raw product processed by the mill.  Depending  on  local
market conditions, sugar may also be purchased from third parties
for resale.  During 2008 this division began construction of a 40
megawatt  cogeneration  power plant,  which  is  expected  to  be
completed  in  the  third quarter of 2010.  In addition,  in  the
first  quarter  of  2010, the Company began sales  of  dehydrated
alcohol  to  certain local oil companies under the national  bio-
ethanol  program  which  requires  alcohol  to  be  blended  with
gasoline.

Seaboard  owns two floating electric power generating  facilities
in  the  Dominican  Republic, consisting of a  system  of  diesel
engines  mounted  on  barges with a combined  rated  capacity  of
approximately 112 megawatts.  Seaboard operates as an independent
power  producer generating electricity for the local power  grid.
Seaboard  is  not  directly  involved  in  the  transmission   or
distribution  of  electricity but does  have  contracts  to  sell
directly  to  third  party  users.   Electricity  is  sold  under
contract  to  certain large commercial users, under a  short-term
contract that expires at the end of March 2010 with a government-
owned  distribution  company  and on  the  spot  market  that  is
accessed  by three wholly government-owned distribution companies
and  limited  others.   On  March 2, 2009,  an  agreement  became
effective  under  which Seaboard will sell the two  barges.   The
agreement  calls  for the sale to occur on or around  January  1,
2011.   Completion of the sale is dependent upon the satisfaction
of   several  conditions,  including  meeting  certain   baseline
performance and emission tests.  Failure to satisfy or  cure  any
deficiencies  could  result  in the agreement  being  terminated.
Seaboard is considering options to continue its power business in
the  Dominican  Republic  after  the  sale  of  these  assets  is
completed.

Seaboard  processes  jalapeno peppers at its plant  in  Honduras.
These  products  are  shipped to the United  States  on  Seaboard
Marine vessels and distributed from Seaboard's port facilities.

Seaboard  Corporation, and affiliated companies in its  Commodity
Trading  and  Milling segment, resolved a dispute  with  a  third
party  related  to  a  2005 transaction.  As a  result,  Seaboard
Overseas Limited received $16,787,000, net of expenses, or $13.57
per  common share in the third quarter of 2009 included in  other
income.   There was no tax expense on this transaction. See  Note
11   to   the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  for   further
discussion.

As  of December 31, 2006, Seaboard adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standard  No. 158 (SFAS 158), "Employers'  Accounting
for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans."  The
adoption  of  SFAS 158 reduced stockholders equity by $25,014,000
as  an  adjustment to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.   See
Note  10  to  the Consolidated Financial Statements  for  further
discussion.

In  the fourth quarter of 2005, Seaboard made a one-time election
to  repatriate  previously permanently invested foreign  earnings
resulting  in  a total tax expense of approximately  $11,586,000,
recognized  a tax benefit of $21,428,000 for the finalization  of
certain  tax years as a result of a settlement with the  Internal
Revenue Service and recognized a tax benefit of $4,977,000  as  a
result  of an agreement with the Puerto Rican Treasury department
that favorably resolved certain prior years' tax issues.  The net
effect  of  these  events  was an increase  in  net  earnings  of
$14,819,000,  or  $11.78 per common share on a  diluted  earnings
basis  for  the  year.  See Note 7 of the Consolidated  Financial
Statements for further discussion.

In  January 2005, Seaboard agreed to a tax settlement related  to
prior year tax returns resulting in a tax benefit of $14,356,000,
or  $11.44  per common share, which was recognized in the  fourth
quarter of 2004.

                  Company Performance Graph

The  Securities  and  Exchange Commission  requires  a  five-year
comparison  of  stock performance for Seaboard with  that  of  an
appropriate broad equity market index and similar industry index.
Seaboard's  common  stock is traded on  the  NYSE  Amex  Equities
(formerly  the  NYSE  Alternext US) and provides  an  appropriate
comparison for Seaboard's stock performance.  Because there is no
single industry index to compare stock performance, the companies
comprising the Dow Jones Food and Marine Transportation  Industry
indices (the "Peer Group") were chosen as the second comparison.

The  following  graph shows a five-year comparison of  cumulative
total  return for Seaboard, the NYSE Amex Equities Index and  the
companies comprising the Dow Jones Food and Marine Transportation
Industry  indices weighted by market capitalization for the  five
fiscal   years   commencing  December  31,   2004,   and   ending
December  31, 2009.  The information presented in the performance

               Management's Discussion & Anaylsis


MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Seaboard  is  a  diverse agribusiness and transportation  company
with  global operations in several industries.  Most of the sales
and costs of Seaboard's segments are significantly influenced  by
worldwide fluctuations in commodity prices or changes in  foreign
political and economic conditions.  Accordingly, sales, operating
income  and cash flows can fluctuate significantly from  year  to
year.  As  each  segment  operates in  unrelated  industries  and
different  geographical  locations,  management  evaluates  their
operations separately.  Seaboard's reporting segments  are  based
on  information used by Seaboard's Chief Executive Officer in his
capacity   as   chief  operating  decision  maker  to   determine
allocation of resources and assess performance.

Pork Segment

The  Pork  segment  is primarily a domestic  business  with  some
export  sales  to  Japan,  Mexico,  and  other  foreign  markets.
Revenues  from the sale of pork products are primarily  generated
from  a  single  hog processing plant in Guymon, Oklahoma,  which
operates  at  daily  double shift processing capacity  of  18,500
hogs,  two  bacon further processing plants located in Salt  Lake
City, Utah and Missoula, Montana, and a ham-boning and processing
plant  in Mexico.  In 2009, Seaboard raised approximately 75%  of
the  hogs  processed at the Guymon plant with the  remaining  hog
requirements purchased primarily under contracts from independent
producers.   This  segment is Seaboard's most  capital  intensive
segment  with  approximately 62% of Seaboard's fixed  assets  and
material dollar amounts for live hog inventories.

Of  Seaboard's businesses, management believes the  Pork  segment
also  has  the greatest exposure to commodity price fluctuations.
As  a result, this segment's operating income and cash flows  can
materially  fluctuate from year to year, significantly  affecting
Seaboard's  consolidated operating income and cash flows.   Sales
prices  are  directly  affected by both  domestic  and  worldwide
supply  and  demand for pork products and other  proteins.   Feed
costs  are the most significant single component of the  cost  of
raising  hogs and can be materially affected by prices  for  corn
and  soybean meal.  In addition, costs can be materially affected
by  market  prices  for  hogs purchased from  third  parties  for
processing  at  the  plant.   As the  Guymon  plant  operates  at
capacity,  to  improve  operating income Seaboard  is  constantly
working towards improving the efficiencies of the Pork operations
as  well  as  considering ways to increase margins  by  expanding
product offerings.

The  Pork  segment also produces biodiesel to be  sold  to  third
parties.   Biodiesel  is produced from pork fat  from  Seaboard's
Guymon  pork  processing plant and from animal  fat  provided  by
other  parties.  The processing plant also can produce  biodiesel
from  vegetable  oil.   This plant was completed  in  the  second
quarter  of  2008.   See  Note  6 to the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements for discussion on the expired federal tax credits  for
the operation.  Also, during 2009 Seaboard completed construction
of  and  began  operations  at  a majority-owned  ham-boning  and
processing plant in Mexico.

The  Pork  segment  has an agreement with  a  similar  size  pork
processor, Triumph Foods LLC (Triumph), to market all of the pork
products  produced  at Triumph's plant in St.  Joseph,  Missouri.
The  Pork  segment markets the related pork products  for  a  fee
primarily based on the number of head processed by Triumph Foods.
This  plant  has a capacity similar to that of Seaboard's  Guymon
plant  and operates upon an integrated model similar to  that  of
Seaboard's.    Seaboard's sales prices for its pork products  are
primarily  based on a margin sharing arrangement  that  considers
the  average  sales  price  and mix of products  sold  from  both
Seaboard's and Triumph Food's hog processing plants.

Commodity Trading and Milling Segment

The  Commodity  Trading  and Milling segment  primarily  operates
overseas  with locations in Africa, Bermuda, South  America,  the
Caribbean   and   Europe.   These  foreign  operations   can   be
significantly  impacted  by  local  crop  production,   political
instability,  local  government policies, economic  and  industry
conditions, and currency fluctuations.  This segment's sales  are
also  significantly  affected by fluctuating  prices  of  various
commodities,  such  as  wheat,  corn,  soybean  meal  and   rice.
Although  this segment owns eight ships, most of the third  party
trading  business  is transacted with chartered  ships.   Charter
hire   rates,  influenced  by  available  charter  capacity   for
worldwide  trade  in bulk cargoes, and related  fuel  costs  also
affect business volumes and margins as they did during the recent
period of extreme price volatility.  The milling businesses, both
consolidated and non-consolidated affiliates, operate in  foreign
and, in most cases, lesser developed countries.  Subsidized wheat
and  flour exports can create fluctuating market conditions  that
can  have  a  significant impact on both the trading and  milling
businesses' sales and operating income.

<PAGE> 10

             Management's Discussion & Anaylsis

The majority of the Commodity Trading and Milling segment's sales
pertain to the commodity trading business.  Grain is sourced from
domestic  and international locations and delivery of  grains  to
third  party  and  affiliate customers in  various  international
locations.    The  execution  of  these  purchase  and   delivery
transactions have long cycles of completion which may extend  for
several  months  with a high degree of price  volatility.   As  a
result,  these  factors can significantly affect  sales  volumes,
operating  income, working capital and related  cash  flows  from
quarter-to-quarter.

Seaboard concentrates on the supply of raw materials to its  core
milling operations and to third party commodity trades in support
of   these  milling  operations.   Seaboard  continues  to   seek
opportunities  in  trading and milling  businesses  in  order  to
achieve greater scale, volumes and profitability.

Marine Segment

The Marine segment provides containerized cargo shipping services
primarily from the United States to 25 countries in the Caribbean
Basin,  Central and South America.  As a result, fluctuations  in
economic  conditions  or  unstable political  situations  in  the
regions  or  countries  in  which Seaboard  operates  can  affect
import/export trade volumes.  When certain regions  or  countries
experienced  such  conditions, Seaboard's volumes  and  operating
profits  were significantly affected.  In addition, containerized
cargo  rates can fluctuate depending on local supply  and  demand
for  shipping services.  This segment time-charters or leases the
majority  of  its  ocean cargo vessels and is  thus  affected  by
fluctuations in charter hire rates as well as fuel costs.

As a result of the recent global downturn in containerized trade,
there  soon  could  be  distressed assets  such  as  vessels  and
handling equipment available at attractive prices.  Seaboard will
carefully  evaluate such opportunities.  Seaboard also  continues
to  explore  ways  to increase volumes on existing  routes  while
seeking  opportunities  to broaden its  route  structure  in  the
region.

Sugar Segment

Seaboard's  Sugar segment operates a vertically integrated  sugar
complex in Argentina.  This segment's sales and operating  income
are  significantly affected by local and worldwide sugar  prices.
Yields from the Argentine sugar harvest can have an impact on the
local  price  of  sugar.   Also, but to a  lesser  degree,  price
fluctuations  in the world market can affect local  sugar  prices
and  export sales volumes and prices.  Depending on local  market
conditions, this business purchases from third parties sugar  for
resale.   Over  the  past  several years, Seaboard  made  various
modifications to this business to improve the efficiency  of  its
operations  and expand its sugar and alcohol operations.  In  the
first  quarter  of  2010, the Company began sales  of  dehydrated
alcohol  to  certain local oil companies under the national  bio-
ethanol  program  which  requires  alcohol  to  be  blended  with
gasoline.

Prior  to the first quarter of 2009, the Sugar segment was  named
Sugar   and  Citrus  reflecting  the  citrus  and  related  juice
operations of this business.  During the first quarter  of  2009,
management reviewed its strategic options for the citrus business
in  light  of a continually difficult operating environment.   In
the  first  quarter of 2009, management decided not  to  process,
package  or  market the 2009 harvest for the citrus  and  related
juice  operations.   In the second quarter  of  2009,  management
decided  to  integrate and transform some of the land  previously
used for citrus production into sugar cane production.

The  functional  currency of the Sugar segment is  the  Argentine
peso.   The currency exchange rate can have an impact on reported
U.S.  dollar  sales, operating income and cash flows.   Financing
needs  for  the  foreseeable future will  remain  high  for  this
operation  as  a result of ongoing expansion of sugar  production
and  construction  of  a  40  megawatt cogeneration  power  plant
expected  to be completed in the third quarter of 2010.  Seaboard
continues  to  explore ways to improve and  expand  its  existing
operations  while considering other alternatives to  expand  this
segment.

Power Segment

Seaboard's  Power segment operates as an unregulated  independent
power  producer  in the Dominican Republic (DR) generating  power
from  diesel  engines  mounted on  two  barges.   This  segment's
financing  needs  have been minimal for the existing  operations.
During  the  past few years, operating cash flows have fluctuated
from  inconsistent customer collections.  Seaboard has  contracts
to  sell  approximately 20% of the power it generates to  certain
government-approved  commercial  large  users   under   long-term
contracts.  Seaboard also has a short-term contract that  expires
at  the end of March 2010 for approximately 34% of its power with
a   government-owned  distribution  company.    This   short-term
contract  exposes Seaboard to a concentrated credit risk  as  the
customer,  from time to

<PAGE> 11

              Management's Discussion & Anaylsis

time,  has  significant  past due  balances.  Energy  produced in
excess of contracted amounts is sold on the spot market primarily
to three wholly government-owned distribution companies or  other
power producers who lack  sufficient  power production to service
their customers.

The  DR  regulatory body schedules power production based on  the
amount  of funds available to pay for the power produced and  the
relative  costs of the power produced.  Fuel is the largest  cost
component,  but  increases  in fuel prices  generally  have  been
passed  on  to  customers.   See  Note  13  to  the  Consolidated
Financial Statements for discussion on a pending sale of the  two
barges  in  the near future.  Seaboard is considering options  to
continue  its power business in the Dominican Republic after  the
sale  is  completed.   In addition, from time  to  time  Seaboard
pursues   additional  investment  opportunities  in   the   power
industry.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Summary of Sources and Uses of Cash

Cash and short-term investments as of December 31, 2009 increased
$95.9  million  from  December 31, 2008.  The  increase  was  the
result  of  cash  generated  by operating  activities  of  $246.4
million, $16.8 million received from a gain on a disputed sale as
discussed in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and
$15.0 million received for the potential sale of power barges, as
discussed  in  Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial  Statements.
During  2009,  cash  was used to reduce notes  payable  by  $95.1
million,  to  reduce  long-term debt by  $46.9  million  and  for
capital  expenditures  of  $54.3 million.   Cash  from  operating
activities  for 2009 increased $135.1 million compared  to  2008,
primarily  as a result of decreases in working capital  items  of
accounts  receivable and inventory in 2009 compared to  increases
in  2008, partially offset by lower net earnings in 2009 compared
to 2008.

Cash and short-term investments as of December 31, 2008 increased
$39.3  million from December 31, 2007, while cash from  operating
activities  was  $111.3  million  for  2008.   The  increase  was
primarily  the  result of the combination of cash from  operating
activities,  an  increase in notes payable of  $79.4  million  in
excess  of cash used for capital expenditures of $134.6  million,
scheduled  principal payments of long-term debt of $11.7  million
and $5.0 million used to repurchase common stock as discussed  in
Note  12  to  the Consolidated Financial Statements.   Cash  from
operating activities for 2008 decreased $34.6 million compared to
2007, primarily reflecting lower net earnings for the year.

Capital Expenditures, Acquisitions and Other Investing Activities

During  2009  Seaboard invested $54.3 million in property,  plant
and  equipment, of which $15.2 million was expended in  the  Pork
segment,  $14.7 million in the Marine segment, $21.6  million  in
the  Sugar  segment and $2.8 million in the remaining businesses.
For  the  Pork  segment,  the  expenditures  were  primarily  for
improvements to existing hog facilities, upgrades to  the  Guymon
pork  processing  plant and construction of  the  ham-boning  and
processing plant in Mexico.  The ham-boning and processing  plant
was  completed  in the second quarter of 2009.   For  the  Marine
segment,  $10.3 million was spent to purchase cargo carrying  and
handling equipment.  In the Sugar segment, $13.8 million was used
for   development  of  the  cogeneration  power  plant  with  the
remaining capital expenditures primarily being used for expansion
of  cane growing operations. All other capital expenditures  were
primarily  of  a  normal recurring nature and primarily  included
replacement  of  machinery and equipment,  and  general  facility
modernizations and upgrades.

The total 2010 capital expenditures budget is $90.3 million.  The
Pork   segment  plans  to  spend  $16.9  million  primarily   for
improvements  to existing facilities and related equipment.   The
Marine segment has budgeted to spend $34.1 million primarily  for
additional  cargo  carrying  and  handling  equipment  and   port
development projects.  In addition, management will be evaluating
whether  to  purchase additional containerized cargo vessels  for
the Marine segment and dry bulk vessels for the Commodity Trading
and  Milling  segment during 2010.  The Sugar  segment  plans  to
spend  $25.7  million, including $12.2 million for the  continued
development of a 40 megawatt cogeneration power plant,  with  the
remaining amount for normal upgrades to existing operations.  The
cogeneration  power  plant is expected to be operational  by  the
third  quarter  of  2010 for a total constructed  cost  of  $37.2
million.  The balance of $13.6 million is planned to be spent  in
all  other  businesses.  Management anticipates paying for  these
capital  expenditures from available cash, the use  of  available
short-term   investments   or  Seaboard's   available   borrowing
capacity.   As  of December 31, 2009 Seaboard had commitments  of
$18.7   million  to  spend  on  construction  projects,  purchase
equipment, and make facility improvements.

<PAGE> 12

              Management's Discussion & Analysis

During  2008 Seaboard invested $134.6 million in property,  plant
and  equipment, of which $52.6 million was expended in  the  Pork
segment,  $46.3 million in the Marine segment, $31.0  million  in
the  Sugar  segment and $4.7 million in the remaining businesses.
For  the  Pork  segment,  $12.8 million  was  spent  constructing
additional  hog finishing space, $9.3 million was  spent  on  the
construction of a biodiesel plant and $8.2 million was  spent  on
the  ham-boning  and processing plant.  For the  Marine  segment,
$36.5  million was spent to purchase cargo carrying and  handling
equipment.   In  the Sugar segment, $10.4 million  was  used  for
development  of the cogeneration power plant with  the  remaining
capital  expenditures  being  used  primarily  for  expansion  of
alcohol  distillery  operations and  expansion  of  cane  growing
operations.  All other capital expenditures were primarily  of  a
normal  recurring  nature and primarily included  replacement  of
machinery and equipment, and general facility modernizations  and
upgrades.

During  2007 Seaboard invested $164.2 million in property,  plant
and  equipment, of which $78.1 million was expended in  the  Pork
segment,  $3.0  million  in  the Commodity  Trading  and  Milling
segment,  $61.0 million in the Marine segment, $21.4  million  in
the  Sugar  segment and $0.7 million in the remaining businesses.
For the Pork segment, $31.7 million was spent on the construction
of  a  biodiesel  plant and $22.9 million was spent  constructing
additional  hog  finishing space.  For the Marine segment,  $21.8
million was spent to purchase two containerized cargo vessels and
$21.4  million was spent to purchase cargo carrying and  handling
equipment.   In the Sugar segment, the capital expenditures  were
primarily used for expansion of cane growing operations,  various
improvements  to  the  sugar  mill  and  expansion   of   alcohol
distillery  operations.  All  other  capital  expenditures   were
primarily  of  a  normal recurring nature and primarily  included
replacements  of  machinery and equipment, and  general  facility
modernizations and upgrades.

On  March  2,  2009,  an agreement became effective  under  which
Seaboard will sell its two power barges in the Dominican Republic
on  or  around  January 1, 2011 for $70.0 million.  During  March
2009,  $15.0  million was paid to Seaboard and the $55.0  million
balance  of the purchase price was paid into escrow and  will  be
paid to Seaboard at the closing of the sale.   See Note 13 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

In  late September 2007, Seaboard acquired for $8.5 million a 40%
non-controlling  interest, including cash  contributed  into  the
business,  in  a  flour  milling business  located  in  Colombia.
During  the  fourth quarter of 2007, Seaboard acquired  for  $6.6
million  a  50%  non-controlling  interest  in  a  grain  trading
business  in Peru.  Both investments are accounted for using  the
equity method.

In  January 2007, Seaboard repurchased the 4.74% equity  interest
in  its subsidiary, Seaboard Foods LLC, from the former owners of
Daily's.  As part of the Purchase Agreement, on January  2,  2007
Seaboard  paid $30.0 million of the purchase price for the  4.74%
equity interest to the former owners of Daily's. During the third
quarter of 2007, Seaboard paid approximately $31.2 million to the
former owners of Daily's as the final payment to repurchase their
minority  interest in Seaboard Foods, LLC.  See  Note  2  to  the

In the fourth quarter of 2009, Seaboard obtained letter of credit
financing  that replaced existing letters of credit resulting  in
an increase to borrowing capacity by approximately $16.3 million.

The  following table represents a summary of Seaboard's available
borrowing  capacity  as of December 31, 2009.   At  December  31,
2009,  there  were no borrowings outstanding under the  committed
lines  of  credit and borrowings under the uncommitted  lines  of
credit   totaled   $33.8   million,  all   related   to   foreign
subsidiaries.   Letters  of credit reduced  Seaboard's  borrowing
capacity  under  its committed and uncommitted  credit  lines  by
$41.7   million   and   $3.8  million,  respectively,   primarily
representing $26.4 million for Seaboard's outstanding  Industrial
Development Revenue Bonds and $16.8 million related to  insurance
coverage.   Also included in notes payable at December  31,  2009
was a term note of $47.5 million denominated in U.S. dollars.

Seaboard  has  capacity  under existing  covenants  to  undertake
additional  debt financings of approximately $844.8 million.   As
of  December  31,  2009,  Seaboard  is  in  compliance  with  all
restrictive covenants relating to these arrangements.  See Note 8
to  the  Consolidated Financial Statements for a summary  of  the
material   terms  of  Seaboard's  credit  facilities,   including
financial ratios and covenants.

Scheduled  long-term debt maturities range from $1.5  million  to
$32.5  million  per year, for a total of $36.4 million  over  the
next three years.  As of December 31, 2009, Seaboard has cash and
short-term  investments of $469.2 million, total working  capital
of $907.3 million and a $300.0 million line of credit maturing on
July  10,  2013.   Accordingly,  management  believes  Seaboard's
combination  of  internally generated  cash,  liquidity,  capital
resources  and  borrowing capabilities will be adequate  for  its
existing  operations and any currently known potential plans  for
expansion  of existing operations or business segments for  2010.
Management    does,   however,   periodically   review    various
alternatives for future financing to provide additional liquidity
for  future operating plans.  Despite the current global business
climate, management intends to continue seeking opportunities for
expansion in the industries in which Seaboard operates, utilizing
existing   liquidity  and  available  borrowing   capacity,   and
currently does not plan to pursue other financing alternatives.

On November 6, 2009, the Board of Directors authorized up to $100
million  for a new share repurchase program.  The previous  share
repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors  on  August
7,  2007,  ended  on  August 31, 2009.   Seaboard  used  cash  to
repurchase 3,668 shares of common stock at a total price of  $3.4
million in 2009, 3,852 shares of common stock at a total price of
$5.0 million in 2008 and 17,089 shares of common stock at a total
price  of  $30.5  million  in 2007.   See  Note  12  for  further
discussion.

            Management's Discussion & Analysis

The  Marine segment enters into contracts to time-charter vessels
for use in its operations.  To support the operations of the Pork
segment,  Seaboard  has contract grower finishing  agreements  in
place  with  farmers  to  raise  a portion  of  Seaboard's  hogs.
Seaboard  has  entered  into grain and feed  ingredient  purchase
contracts to support the live hog operations of the Pork  segment
and has contracted for the purchase of additional hogs from third
parties.   The Commodity Trading and Milling segment enters  into
commodity   purchase  contracts  and  ocean  freight   contracts,
primarily  to  support sales commitments.  Seaboard  also  leases
various  facilities  and equipment under noncancelable  operating
lease  agreements.   See  Note 11 to the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements  for  a  further discussion and for  a  more  detailed
listing of other purchase commitments.

Seaboard  has also issued $1.4 million of guarantees  to  support
certain  activities  of  non-consolidated  affiliates  and  third
parties  who provide services for Seaboard.  See Note 11  to  the
Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net  sales  for  the year ended December 31, 2009  were  $3,601.3
million,  $4,267.8 million in 2008 and $3,213.3 million in  2007.
The  decrease  in net sales in 2009 was primarily the  result  of
price  decreases  for commodities sold by the  commodity  trading
business,  lower cargo volumes for the Marine segment and,  to  a
lesser  extent,  a  decrease in sales prices for  pork  products.
Partially  offsetting  the decreases were  increased  commodities
trading  volumes  to  non-consolidated foreign  affiliates.   The
increase  in  net  sales  in 2008 was  primarily  the  result  of
significant price increases for commodities sold by the commodity
trading  business  and, to a lesser extent,  increased  commodity
trading  volumes. Also increasing sales were higher  cargo  rates
and,  to  a  lesser extent, higher cargo volumes for  the  Marine
segment.

Operating  income  was $23.7 million in 2009, $121.8  million  in
2008  and $169.9 million in 2007.  The 2009 decrease compared  to
2008  primarily  reflected  lower commodity  trading  and  Marine
segment  margins and a $32.6 million fluctuation  of  marking  to
market   Commodity  Trading  and  Milling  derivative  contracts,
respectively,  as  discussed below.  The decrease  was  partially
offset  by  higher margins on pork products sold  primarily  from
lower  feed costs.  The 2008 decrease compared to 2007  primarily
reflected  the higher feed costs for hogs as a result  of  higher
corn  prices and, to a lesser extent, higher soybean meal prices.
Also  decreasing  operating income were lower margins  on  marine
cargo  services  as  a  result of higher fuel  prices  and  other
related operating costs.  The decreases were partially offset  by
the  result  of  higher commodity trading margins  that  are  not
expected  to  repeat  and  the effect of  the  mark-to-market  of
derivatives  in the Commodity Trading and Milling  segment  along
with the higher cargo rates for the Marine segment.

On January 12, 2010, Haiti was struck by an earthquake.  Seaboard
has  a  non-controlling interest in a foreign  affiliate  with  a
flour  mill operation in Lafiteau, Haiti.  Part of this  facility
was  severely  damaged  as  a result  of  the  earthquake.   This
affiliate  business intends to rebuild the damaged  part  of  the
facility and will continue to operate the portion of the facility
that was not damaged.  This facility was fully insured, including
business  interruption  and inventory coverage.    Seaboard  also
sells  wheat  and  flour  to  this  business  through  Seaboard's
commodity trading operations.  In addition, the primary  port  in
Haiti,  located  in  Port-au-Prince from which Seaboard  Marine's
vessels normally dock, was severely damaged.  Seaboard is not the
owner  operator  of this port location but does operate  a  small
terminal  facility nearby that sustained minor  damage  from  the
earthquake,  which is covered by insurance.  Currently,  Seaboard
has  no  indication how long it will take before regular  service
can  be  resumed to Haiti's primary port but is currently routing
cargoes  through  secondary  ports in  Haiti  and  the  Dominican
Republic.   Based  on  management's current  expectations,  which
includes assessment of anticipated insurance proceeds, this event
will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Pork Segment

(Dollars in millions)                  2009      2008      2007

Net sales                            $1,065.3  $1,126.0  $1,003.8
Operating income (loss)              $  (15.0) $  (45.9) $   39.5

Net  sales  of the Pork segment decreased $60.7 million  for  the
year ended December 31, 2009 compared to 2008.  The decrease  was
primarily  the result of a decrease in overall sales  prices  for
pork  products,  partially  offset  by  higher  volumes  of  pork
products  sold for export.  Increased volumes were made  possible
by the expansion in daily capacity

<PAGE> 15

              Management's Discussion & Analysis

at the Guymon processing plant during the  first quarter of 2008.
The lower sales  prices for pork products appear to be the result
of an excess supply of pork  products in the domestic market, the
world  economic  challenges  as well  as the impacts  of H1N1 flu
related concerns.  In April 2009, reports  of  a  new  flu strain
believed to  originate  in  Mexico  rapidly  received wide-spread
public attention.  In  response  to initial  reports referring to
this strain as "swine flu", certain countries  banned   U.S. pork
exports and  this  segment  noted  a  decrease  in overall market
prices  for  its  pork  products.  By  year-end,  several foreign
markets lifted their bans on imports of U.S.  pork  products  and
prices began to improve slightly.

Operating  loss  decreased  $30.9  million  for  the  year  ended
December  31,  2009  compared with  2008.   The  improvement  was
primarily  a  result of cost decreases more than  offsetting  the
sales  price  decreases  discussed  above.   The  cost  decreases
primarily  were  related  to lower feed costs  (principally  from
lower  corn  prices),  the impact of using the  LIFO  method  for
determining  certain inventory costs, and lower  costs  of  third
party hogs.  LIFO increased operating results by $17.9 million in
2009 compared to a decrease of $17.2 million in 2008 primarily as
a  result of lower costs to purchase corn and soybean meal during
2009.   Also, in 2008 Seaboard incurred an impairment  charge  of
$7.0 million as discussed below.

Management  is  unable to predict future market prices  for  pork
products  or  the  cost  of feed and hogs  purchased  from  third
parties.   Management  anticipates  this  segment's  results   to
improve  to  profitable levels in 2010 as sales prices  for  pork
products begin to increase as long as costs, such as the price of
corn  used for feed, do not increase significantly.  As discussed
in  Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, there  is  a
possibility  that  some amount of the biodiesel  plant  could  be
deemed impaired during some future period including fiscal  2010,
which  may  result in a charge to earnings if current projections
are not met.

Net  sales of the Pork segment increased $122.2 million  for  the
year ended December 31, 2008 compared to 2007.  The increase  was
primarily  the  result  of  higher  pork  sales  volumes,   which
reflected  increases  in  both domestic  and  export  sales.  The
increased  volumes were made possible by the expansion  in  daily
capacity at the Guymon processing plant during the first  quarter
of  2008.  Sales of biodiesel related to the start-up of the  new
biodiesel processing plant during the second quarter of 2008 also
contributed  to  the increase in net sales.  To a lesser  extent,
the  results  of  the Pork segment were affected by  higher  pork
product prices.

Operating  income  decreased $85.4 million  for  the  year  ended
December 31, 2008 compared with 2007.  The decrease was primarily
a  result of higher feed costs from higher corn prices and  to  a
lesser   extent,  soybean  meal  prices.   To  a  lesser  extent,
operating  losses related to the start-up of the biodiesel  plant
affected operating income.  In addition, as further discussed  in
Note  2  to  the  Consolidated Financial Statements,  during  the
fourth quarter of 2008 Seaboard incurred an impairment charge  of
$7.0 million related to Daily's trade name.  Partially offsetting
these  decreases  was  the  increase in  sales  prices  for  pork
products noted above.

Commodity Trading and Milling Segment

(Dollars in millions)                                2009      2008      2007

Net sales                                          $1,531.6  $1,897.4  $1,152.0

Operating income as reported                       $   24.8  $   96.5  $   20.9
 Less mark-to-market adjustments                       14.5     (18.1)     13.2
  Operating income excluding mark-to-market
  adjustments                                      $   39.3  $   78.4  $   34.1

Income from foreign affiliates                     $   19.1  $   12.6  $    5.2

Net  sales of the Commodity Trading and Milling segment decreased
$365.8  million for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared  to
2008.   The  decrease was primarily the result of price decreases
for   commodities   sold  by  the  commodity  trading   business,
especially  for  wheat, partially offset by  increased  commodity
trading  volumes  to  non-consolidated  foreign  affiliates.   As
worldwide  commodity  price  fluctuations  cannot  be  predicted,
management is unable to predict the level of future sales.

Operating  income  decreased $71.7 million for 2009  compared  to
2008.   The  decrease primarily reflected certain long  inventory
positions,  especially  wheat, taken by Seaboard  which  provided
higher  than average commodity trading margins during  the  first
six   months   of   2008  as  the  price  of  these   commodities
significantly increased to historic highs at the time of sale  in
2008.   In  addition,  the  decrease  includes  a  $32.6  million
fluctuation  of  marking  to market the

<PAGE> 16

              Management's Discussion & Analysis

derivative  contracts  as discussed  below.  Operating income was
also impacted by  certain  grain inventory related write-downs in
2009  and  2008  as  discussed  in  Note  4  to  the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Due  to  the uncertain political and economic conditions  in  the
countries  in which Seaboard operates and the current  volatility
in  the  commodity markets management is unable to predict future
sales  and  operating  results.  However, management  anticipates
positive  operating  income  for 2010,  excluding  the  potential
effects of marking to market derivative contracts.

If  Seaboard  had  not applied mark-to-market accounting  to  its
derivative instruments, operating income for 2009 and 2007  would
have   been   higher   by  $14.5  million  and   $13.2   million,
respectively,  and 2008 would have been lower by  $18.1  million.
While  management  believes its commodity  futures  and  options,
foreign  exchange  contracts and forward freight  agreements  are
primarily  economic  hedges  of  its  firm  purchase  and   sales
contracts  or  anticipated  sales contracts,  Seaboard  does  not
perform  the  extensive record-keeping required  to  account  for
these  types  of transactions as hedges for accounting  purposes.
Accordingly,  while  the  changes  in  value  of  the  derivative
instruments  were marked to market, the changes in value  of  the
firm  purchase or sales contracts were not marked to  market.  As
products   are   delivered  to  customers,  these  mark-to-market
adjustments  should  be primarily offset by realized  margins  or
losses  as  revenue is recognized and thus, these  mark-to-market
adjustments  could  reverse in fiscal 2009.  Management  believes
eliminating  these  adjustments, as noted  in  the  table  above,
provides  a more reasonable presentation to compare and  evaluate
year-to-year financial results for this segment.

Income  from  foreign affiliates for the year ended December  31,
2009  increased $6.5 million from 2008 primarily as a  result  of
favorable market conditions for certain foreign affiliates.   The
increase was also the result of one of the entities discontinuing
its operations by selling its trade name and certain assets to an
entity in exchange for a minority ownership in such entity and  a
separate  sale of land and building to a third party.  Seaboard's
proportionate   share   of  these  two  transactions   represents
approximately $2.3 million of the income from foreign  affiliates
for  2009.   See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial  Statements
for  further  discussion.   Based on  the  uncertainty  of  local
political  and economic situations in the countries in which  the
flour  and  feed mills operate, management cannot predict  future
results  although  management anticipates that 2010  income  from
foreign affiliates will be lower than 2009.

Net  sales of the Commodity Trading and Milling segment increased
$745.4  million for the year ended December 31, 2008 compared  to
2007.   The  increase was primarily the result  of  significantly
higher  prices  of  commodities sold  by  the  commodity  trading
business,  especially wheat, and, to a lesser  extent,  increased
commodity  trading volumes.  The increased trading  volumes  were
primarily a result of Seaboard expanding its business in new  and
existing markets, including trading rice.

Operating  income  increased $75.6 million for 2008  compared  to
2007.   The  increase  primarily  reflected  increased  commodity
trading  margins and, to a lesser extent, the increased commodity
trading  volumes  discussed  above.  The  increase  in  commodity
trading   margins  primarily  reflected  certain  long  inventory
positions, principally wheat, previously taken by Seaboard, which
provided higher than average commodity trading margins during the
first   half   of  2008,  as  the  price  of  these   commodities
significantly  increased to historic highs at the time  of  sale.
The  increase  also  reflected the $31.3 million  fluctuation  of
marking to market the derivative contracts as discussed above.

Income  from  foreign affiliates for the year ended December  31,
2008  increased $7.4 million from 2007 as a result  of  favorable
market conditions.

Marine Segment

(Dollars in millions)                     2009     2008     2007

Net sales                                $737.6   $958.0   $822.2
Operating income                         $ 24.1   $ 62.4   $104.2

Net  sales of the Marine segment decreased $220.4 million for the
year  ended  December 31, 2009, compared to 2008 primarily  as  a
result  of  economic declines in most markets served by  Seaboard
resulting  in lower cargo volumes and, to a lesser extent,  lower
cargo rates especially during the last half of 2009.

Operating  income  decreased by $38.3 million compared  to  2008.
The  decrease  was  primarily  the  result  of  lower  rates,  as
discussed  above,  not  being offset by comparable  decreases  in
certain  costs,  such  as port costs and

<PAGE> 17

              Management's Discussion & Analysis

stevedoring.  However, significant decreases  did  occur  related
to  fuel  costs for vessels, charterhire and trucking expenses on
a per unit  shipped  basis.  Management cannot predict changes in
future cargo volumes and cargo rates or to what extent changes in
economic conditions in markets served will continue to affect net
sales  or  operating  income  during  2010.  However,  management
anticipates this segment  will  be  profitable  in  2010 although
somewhat lower  during the first half than  2009 given the recent
fluctuations  in  global trade volume and cargo rates.

Net  sales of the Marine segment increased $135.8 million for the
year  ended  December 31, 2008, compared to 2007 primarily  as  a
result  of  higher  cargo rates and, to a lesser  extent,  higher
cargo  volumes.   Cargo  rates were  higher  in  certain  markets
primarily  as  a  result of higher cost-recovery  surcharges  for
fuel.  Cargo volumes were higher as a result of the expansion  of
services  provided  in  certain markets  and  favorable  economic
conditions during 2008 in several Latin American markets served.

Operating  income  decreased by $41.8 million compared  to  2007.
The  decrease  was  primarily the result of significantly  higher
fuel  costs  for vessels on a per unit shipped basis.   Operating
income also decreased as a result of higher operating costs on  a
per  unit  shipped basis including charter hire and  owned-vessel
operating costs, trucking, terminal costs and stevedoring.

Sugar Segment

(Dollars in millions)                     2009     2008     2007

Net sales                                $143.0   $142.1   $125.9
Operating income (loss)                  $ (0.9)  $  3.7   $ 15.5
Income from foreign affiliates           $  1.0   $  0.5   $  0.4

Net  sales  of the Sugar segment increased $0.9 million  for  the
year  ended December 31, 2009 compared to 2008.  The increase  is
primarily  the result of increased volumes produced and  sold  in
the  export  markets  partially offset by  lower  domestic  sugar
prices  and the elimination of the citrus operations.   Argentine
governmental authorities continue to attempt to control inflation
by  limiting  the  price of basic commodities,  including  sugar.
Accordingly, management cannot predict sugar prices for 2010.

Operating  income decreased $4.6 million during 2009 compared  to
2008 primarily as a result of lower margins on alcohol sales from
lower  sales prices and lower margins from the citrus operations.
Although  the  citrus operations had negative margins  for  2008,
during  2009  the negative margins were slightly higher  as  this
segment  recorded  a $5.3 million charge to earnings  during  the
first  and  second quarters of 2009 related to the write-down  of
citrus  inventories, the integration and transformation  of  land
previously  used for citrus production into sugar cane production
and  related  costs  as  discussed in Note  9  to  the  Condensed
Consolidated  Financial Statements.  The decrease  also  reflects
higher  selling  and  administrative  personnel  costs  in  2009.
Management  anticipates higher operating income in  this  segment
for  2010  compared to 2009.  In the first quarter of 2010,  this
segment  began sales of dehydrated alcohol to certain  local  oil
companies  under the national bio-ethanol program which  requires
alcohol   to   be  blended  with  gasoline.   In  addition,   the
construction  of  a  40  megawatt  cogeneration  power  plant  is
expected to be completed during the third quarter of 2010.

Net sales of the Sugar and Citrus segment increased $16.2 million
for  the  year  ended December 31, 2008 compared  to  2007.   The
increase  primarily  reflected  higher  domestic  sugar   prices.
Operating income decreased $11.8 million during 2008 compared  to
2007  primarily as a result of losses incurred by the citrus  and
juice  businesses,  principally from citrus  quality  issues  and
increased  production costs for the juice business.  In addition,
operating  income  decreased as a result of  higher  selling  and
administrative  personnel costs.  Total gross margin  from  sugar
sales  did  not increase in 2008 compared to 2007 as  the  higher
sugar  prices discussed above were primarily offset by  a  higher
percentage  of sales from sugar purchased from third parties  for
resale.  This sugar had a significantly lower margin compared  to
sugar  produced  by  Seaboard.  Increased production  costs  also
affected gross margin from sugar sales.

Power Segment

(Dollars in millions)                     2009     2008     2007

Net sales                                $107.1   $129.4   $ 94.0
Operating income                         $  8.2   $  7.8   $  5.4

Net  sales for the Power segment decreased $22.3 million for 2009
compared  to  2008 primarily reflecting lower rates.   The  lower
rates  were  attributable  primarily  to  lower  fuel  costs,   a
component  of  pricing.  Operating income increased $0.4  million
during  2009  compared to 2008 primarily as  a  result  of  lower
production   costs  partially  offset  by  higher  administrative
personnel costs.  Management cannot predict future fuel costs  or
the  extent to which rates will fluctuate compared to fuel costs,
although management anticipates this segment to remain profitable
in  2010.   See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial  Statements
for  the  pending sale of certain assets of this business  on  or
around January 1, 2011.   Accordingly, such assets are classified
as  held for sale as of December 31, 2009 and depreciation ceased
on these assets as of January 1, 2010.

Net  sales for the Power segment increased $35.4 million for 2008
compared  to  2007  primarily as a result of higher  rates.   The
higher rates were attributable primarily to higher fuel costs,  a
component  of  pricing.  Operating income increased $2.4  million
during  2008  compared to 2007 primarily as a  result  of  higher
rates being in excess of higher fuel costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the  year
ended  December 31, 2009 increased by $18.0 million over 2008  to
$193.9  million.   This increase was primarily due  to  increased
personnel  costs,  including increased costs  of  $13.9  million,
included  in  Corporate expenses, related to Seaboard's  deferred
compensation programs (which are offset by the effect of the mark-
to-market   investments  recorded  in  other  investment   income
discussed  below).   As a percentage of revenues, SG&A  increased
to  5.4% for 2009 compared to 4.1% for 2008 primarily as a result
of  decreased  sales  in the Commodity Trading  and  Milling  and
Marine segments.

SG&A  expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased  by
$3.8  million  over  2007 to $175.9 million.  This  increase  was
primarily due to increased personnel costs.  Partially offsetting
the  increase were decreased costs related to Seaboard's deferred
compensation programs (which are offset by the effect of the mark-
to-market   investments  recorded  in  other  investment   income
discussed below).  Also, partially offsetting the increase was  a
$3.7  million  pension settlement loss recognized  in  the  first
quarter of 2007 related to the late Mr. H. H. Bresky's retirement
payment  in  February  2007  as  discussed  in  Note  10  to  the
Consolidated Financial Statements.  As a percentage of  revenues,
SG&A  decreased  to  4.1%  for 2008 compared  to  5.4%  for  2007
primarily as a result of increased sales in the Commodity Trading
and Milling segment.

Interest Expense

Interest  expense totaled $13.2 million, $15.4 million and  $12.6
million  for  the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008  and  2007,
respectively.   Interest expense decreased for 2009  compared  to
2008,  primarily  as a result of a lower average  level  of  both
short-term  and  long-term  borrowings  outstanding  during  2009
partially  offset by higher average interest rates on  short-term
borrowings  outstanding.   Interest expense  increased  for  2008
compared to 2007, primarily as a result of a higher average level
of short-term borrowings outstanding during 2008 partially offset
by a lower average level of long-term borrowings outstanding.

Interest Income

Interest  income totaled $17.3 million, $14.9 million  and  $18.9
million  for  the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008  and  2007,
respectively.   The  increase  for 2009  primarily  reflected  an
increase  in  average  funds invested.   The  decrease  for  2008
primarily reflected a decrease in average funds invested.

Foreign Currency Gains (Losses)

Foreign  currency  gains (losses) totaled $2.4  million,  $(19.7)
million  and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31,  2009,
2008  and  2007, respectively.  The fluctuation for 2009 compared
to  2008 primarily related to the unusually high currency  losses
incurred during the fourth quarter of 2008, as noted below,  from
the  global liquidity crisis occurring at that time which did not
occur  during  2009.  The fluctuation for 2008 compared  to  2007
primarily related to currency translation and realized losses  in
the   commodity   trading   business  related   to   transactions
denominated  in South African rand and, to a lesser  extent,  the
Euro  Zone  euro principally during the fourth quarter  of

<PAGE> 19

            Management's Discussion & Analysis


2008. Although Seaboard does not utilize  hedge  accounting,  the
commodity trading business does utilize foreign currency exchange
contracts  to  manage its risks and exposure to foreign  currency
fluctuations caused primarily by the South African rand  and  the
Euro  Zone  euro.   Management believes  the  gains  and  losses,
including  the mark-to-market effects, of these foreign  currency
contracts  relate  to the underlying commodity  transactions  and
classifies such gains and losses in cost of sales.   In addition,
the  2008 loss includes currency losses related to the yen  based
borrowing  by  the Sugar segment, principally during  the  fourth
quarter of 2008.  A significant portion of this currency loss was
offset  by  a  currency gain on the underlying  debt,  which  was
recorded in a cumulative translation adjustment account in equity
as  of  December 31, 2008.  Seaboard operates in many  developing
countries.   The  political  and  economic  conditions  of  these
markets, along with fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar,
cause   volatility  in  currency  exchange  rates  which  exposes
Seaboard  to fluctuating foreign currency gains and losses  which
cannot be predicted by Seaboard.

Other Investment Income, Net

Other  investment income, net totaled $15.5 million, $7.5 million
and  $6.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and
2007,  respectively.  Other investment income for 2009  primarily
reflected income of $6.0 million in the Power segment related  to
the  settlement  of  a receivable, not directly  related  to  its
business  and purchased at a discount, gains of $4.3  million  in
the mark-to-market value of Seaboard's investments related to the
deferred compensation programs and gains of $2.8 million on  debt
trading  securities.  Other investment income for 2008  primarily
reflected $8.9 million on equity securities transactions,  income
of $7.6 million in the Power segment related to the settlement of
a  receivable, not directly related to its business and purchased
at  a  discount,  and  income  of $1.1  million  related  to  the
assignment  of  rights related to an investment as  discussed  in
Note  13  to  the  Consolidated Financial Statements.   Partially
offsetting the above income items was a $9.6 million loss in  the
mark-to-market  value of Seaboard's investments  related  to  the
deferred compensation programs in 2008.

Gain on Disputed Sale, Net

In  July 2009, Seaboard Corporation, and affiliated companies  in
its  Commodity  Trading and Milling segment, resolved  a  dispute
with  a  third  party related to a 2005 transaction  in  which  a
portion  of  its  trading operations was sold to a  firm  located
abroad.  As  a  result of this action, Seaboard Overseas  Limited
received $16.8 million, net of expenses, in the third quarter  of
2009.  There was no tax expense on this transaction.

Miscellaneous, Net

Miscellaneous,  net totaled $6.5 million, $2.5 million  and  $5.2
million and for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.   For  2009, miscellaneous,  net  included  a  $5.3
million gain on interest exchange agreements.  During the  second
quarter of 2007, Seaboard recognized a gain of $4.1 million  from
a  favorable settlement received in June 2007 related to  a  land
expropriation in Argentina.  This land settlement was recorded as
miscellaneous  income  since the land was expropriated  prior  to
Seaboard's purchase of the sugar and citrus business, thus  never
a part of the sugar and citrus operations recorded by Seaboard.

Income Tax Expense

The  effective  tax benefit rate decreased for 2009  compared  to
2008  primarily from lower permanently deferred foreign  earnings
and lower domestic taxable loss. The effective tax rate decreased
for  2008 compared to 2007 primarily from lower domestic  taxable
income resulting in a tax benefit based on domestic taxable  loss
compared to permanently deferred foreign earnings.

OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Seaboard  is  subject  to various federal and  state  regulations
regarding environmental protection and land and water use.  Among
other  things, these regulations affect the disposal of livestock
waste  and  corporate  farming matters  in  general.   Management
believes it is in compliance, in all material respects, with  all
such  regulations.   Laws and regulations  in  the  states  where
Seaboard  conducts  its pork operations are restrictive.   Future
changes   in  environmental  or  corporate  farming  laws   could
adversely  affect  the  manner  in which  Seaboard  operates  its
business and its cost structure.

In  June  2009,  the  FASB  issued  ASC  Topic  810-10  (formerly
Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 167 "Amendments  to  FASB
Interpretation  No.  46(R)").  This Topic  amends  Interpretation
46(R)  and  requires  an  enterprise to perform  an  analysis  to
determine whether the enterprise's variable interest or interests
give  it  a controlling financial interest in a variable interest
entity  (VIE).  This analysis identifies the primary  beneficiary
of  a VIE as the enterprise

<PAGE> 20

                Management's Discussion & Analysis

that has both the power to direct the most significant activities
of a VIE and the obligation to absorb  losses  or  the  right  to
receive benefits from the VIE.

This   Topic  eliminates  the  quantitative  approach  previously
required  for  determining the primary beneficiary  of  the  VIE,
which  was  based  on  determining which enterprise  absorbs  the
majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority  of
the  entity's expected residual returns, or both. This Topic also
amends  Interpretation 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments  of
whether  an  enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a  variable
interest entity and requires certain additional disclosures about
the  VIE.   Seaboard will be required to adopt this Topic  as  of
January 1, 2010.  Management believes the adoption of this  Topic
will  not have a material impact on Seaboard's financial position
or net earnings.

Management  does not believe its businesses have been  materially
adversely affected by general inflation.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The  preparation  of  the  consolidated financial  statements  in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted  in  the
United   States   requires  management  to  make  estimates   and
assumptions  that  affect  the reported  amounts  of  assets  and
liabilities   and  the  disclosure  of  contingent   assets   and
liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial  statements
and  the  reported  amounts of revenue and  expenses  during  the
reporting  period.   Actual  results  could  differ  from   those
estimates.   Management has identified the  accounting  estimates
believed  to be the most important to the portrayal of Seaboard's
financial  condition and results, and which require  management's
most  difficult,  subjective or complex  judgments,  often  as  a
result  of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters
that  are  inherently uncertain.  Management has  reviewed  these
critical  accounting estimates with the Audit  Committee  of  the
Board of Directors.  These critical accounting policies include:

Allowance  for  Doubtful  Accounts - Seaboard  primarily  uses  a
specific  identification approach, in management's best judgment,
to   evaluate   the  adequacy  of  this  reserve  for   estimated
uncollectible  receivables as of the consolidated  balance  sheet
date.   Changes  in estimates, developing trends  and  other  new
information  can  have a material effect on  future  evaluations.
Furthermore,  Seaboard's total current and long-term  receivables
are  heavily weighted toward foreign receivables ($181.6  million
or  59.7%  at December 31, 2009), including receivables due  from
foreign  affiliates  ($47.4 million at  December  31,  2009)  and
receivables in the Power segment, which generally represent  more
of  a collection risk than its domestic receivables.  Receivables
due   from  foreign  affiliates  are  generally  associated  with
entities  located in foreign countries considered underdeveloped,
as  discussed  below,  which  can experience  conditions  causing
sudden  changes to their ability to repay such receivables  on  a
timely  basis or in full.  For the Power segment, which  operates
in  the  Dominican Republic (DR), collection patterns  have  been
sporadic and are sometimes based upon negotiated settlements  for
past  due  receivables  resulting in material  revisions  to  the
allowance for doubtful accounts from year to year.  For  example,
currently the Power segment sells approximately 34% of its  power
generation  to  a government-owned distribution company  under  a
short-term contract that expires at the end of March 2010 and for
which  Seaboard bears a concentrated credit risk as this customer
is usually behind in its payments on account.  As of December 31,
2009,  this  customer account had billings outstanding  of  $12.8
million.    Future  collections of receivables  or  lack  thereof
could result in a material charge or credit to earnings depending
on  the ultimate resolution of each individual customer past  due
receivable.   Bad debt expense for the years ended  December  31,
2009,  2008  and  2007 was $2.1 million, $0.8  million  and  $1.4
million, respectively.

Valuation  of Inventories - Inventories are generally  valued  at
the  lower  of cost or market.  In determining market, management
makes  assumptions regarding replacement costs,  estimated  sales
prices,  estimated costs to complete, estimated  disposal  costs,
and  normal  profit margins.  For commodity trading  inventories,
when  contract  performance  by a  customer  becomes  a  concern,
management must also evaluate available options to dispose of the
inventory,   including  assumptions  about  potential  negotiated
changes  to sales contracts, sales prices in alternative  markets
in   various   foreign   countries  and  potentially   additional
transportation  costs.   At  times,  management   must   consider
probability   weighting  various  viable  alternatives   in   its
determination  of  the net realizable value of  the  inventories.
These assumptions and probabilities are subjective in nature  and
are  based on management's best estimates and judgments  existing
at  the time of preparation.  Changes in future market prices  of
grains  or  facts and circumstances could result  in  a  material
write-down  in value of inventory or increased future margins  on
the sale of inventory.

Impairment  of  Long-lived Assets - At each balance  sheet  date,
long-lived  assets, primarily property, plant and equipment,  are
reviewed  for  impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate  that  the  carrying  amount

<PAGE> 21

              Management's Discussion & Analysis

may not be recoverable.  Recoverability  of assets to be held and
used  is  measured  by a comparison of the carrying amount of the
asset to future net cash flows  expected  to  be generated by the
asset  group.   If  such assets  are  considered  to be impaired,
the  impairment  to  be  recognized  is measured by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of
the assets.  Some of the key assumptions  utilized in determining
future  projected  cash flows  include   estimated  growth rates,
expected future sales prices and estimated  costs. In some cases,
judgment  is  also required in assigning probability weighting to
the various future cash flow scenarios. The probability weighting
percentages  used  and  the  various  future  projected cash flow
models  prepared  by   management   are   based   on   facts  and
circumstances  existing   at   the   time   of   preparation  and
management's best estimates and  judgment  of   future  operating
results.   Seaboard  cannot  predict  the  occurrence  of certain
future events that might adversely  affect the  reported value of
long-lived assets, which include  but  are  not  limited  to,   a
change in the business climate, government incentives, a negative
change in relationships with  significant  customers, and changes
to  strategic  decisions  made  in  response  to  economic    and
competitive conditions.  Changes in  these  facts,  circumstances
and  management's  estimates  and  judgment  could  result  in an
impairment of fixed assets resulting  in  a  material  charge  to
earnings.   See Note 6 to the Consolidated  Financial  Statements
for  further discussion on the  Pork  Segment  and  its  recorded
value  for  the  biodiesel processing  plant  of $43.2 million at
December 31, 2009.

Goodwill  and  Other  Intangible  Assets  -  Goodwill  and  other
indefinite-life  intangible assets, not subject to  amortization,
are  evaluated annually for impairment at the quarter-end closest
to the anniversary date of the acquisition, or more frequently if
circumstances indicate that impairment is likely.  The impairment
tests  require  management to make judgments in determining  what
assumptions to use in estimating fair value.  One of the  methods
used  by  Seaboard to determine fair value is the income approach
using  discounted future projected cash flows.  Some of  the  key
assumptions utilized in determining future projected  cash  flows
include estimated growth rates, expected future sales prices  and
costs,  and  future capital expenditures requirements.   In  some
cases,   judgment  is  also  required  in  assigning  probability
weighting  to  the  various  future  cash  flow  scenarios.   The
probability  weighting percentages used and  the  various  future
projected  cash flow models prepared by management are  based  on
facts  and circumstances existing at the time of preparation  and
management's  best  estimates and judgment  of  future  operating
results.   Seaboard  cannot  predict the  occurrence  of  certain
future  events that might adversely affect the reported value  of
goodwill  and indefinite-life intangible assets that may include,
but  are  not  limited  to, a change in the business  climate,  a
negative change in relationships with significant customers,  and
changes  to  strategic decisions, including decisions to  expand,
made in response to economic and competitive conditions.  Changes
in  these  facts,  circumstances and management's  estimates  and
judgment  could result in an impairment of goodwill and/or  other
intangible  assets  resulting in a material charge  to  earnings.
See  Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for  further
discussion regarding the Pork segment and its recorded intangible
asset  values related to Daily's, including an impairment  charge
of $7.0 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to
Daily's  trade name.  At December 31, 2009, Seaboard had goodwill
of  $40.6  million  and other intangible assets  not  subject  to
amortization of $17.0 million.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are determined by management based on
current   tax   regulations  in  the  various  worldwide   taxing
jurisdictions  in  which  Seaboard  conducts  its  business.   In
various situations, accruals have been made for estimates of  the
tax  effects  for certain transactions, business structures,  the
estimated  reversal  of timing differences and  future  projected
profitability  of  Seaboard's various  business  units  based  on
management's interpretation of existing facts, circumstances  and
tax  regulations.   Should  new  evidence  come  to  management's
attention  which could alter previous conclusions  or  if  taxing
authorities  disagree with the positions taken by  Seaboard,  the
change  in  estimate  could  result  in  a  material  adverse  or
favorable   impact   on   the  financial   statements.    As   of
December  31,  2009, Seaboard has deferred tax  assets  of  $65.3
million,  net  of the valuation allowance of $28.6  million,  and
deferred tax liabilities of $114.4 million.  For the years  ended
December  31,  2009, 2008 and 2007, income tax  expense  included
$(11.5)    million,   $(6.3)   million   and   $(22.5)   million,
respectively, for deferred taxes to federal, foreign,  state  and
local taxing jurisdictions.

Accrued Pension Liability - The measurement of Seaboard's pension
liability  and  related  expense is dependent  on  a  variety  of
assumptions   and  estimates  regarding  future  events.    These
assumptions  include discount rates, assumed rate  of  return  on
plan  assets,  compensation increases, turnover rates,  mortality
rates and retirement rates.  The discount rate and return on plan
assets   are   important  elements  of  liability   and   expense
measurement and are reviewed on an annual basis.  The  effect  of
decreasing both the discount rate and assumed rate of  return  on
plan

<PAGE> 22

              Management's Discussion & Analysis

assets  by  50  basis  points  would  be an increase  in  pension
expense  of approximately $1.6 million per year.  The effects  of
actual  results  differing from the assumptions  (i.e.  gains  or
losses)  are  primarily accumulated in accrued pension  liability
and  amortized over future periods if it exceeds the 10% corridor
and,   therefore,  could  affect  Seaboard's  recognized  pension
expense in such future periods, as permitted under ASC Topic  715
(formerly  FAS  No.  87, "Employers' Accounting  for  Pensions").
Accordingly,  accumulated gains or losses in excess  of  the  10%
corridor are amortized over the average future service of  active
participants.   The unrecognized losses as of December  31,  2008
exceeded  this  10%  threshold as a  result  of  the  significant
investment  losses incurred during 2008.  As a result, Seaboard's
pension  expense  for its defined benefit pension  plan  for  its
salaried  and clerical employees increased by approximately  $3.1
million  for  2009 as compared to 2008 due to loss  amortization.
See  Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further
discussion   of  management's  assumptions  and  projected   2010
expense.

DERIVATIVE INFORMATION

Seaboard is exposed to various types of market risks in its  day-
to-day  operations.   Primary market risk exposures  result  from
changing   commodity  prices,  freight  rates,  foreign  currency
exchange  rates  and  interest rates.  Although  used  to  manage
overall  market  risks, Seaboard does not perform  the  extensive
record-keeping required to account for derivative transactions as
hedges.   Management  believes it uses derivatives  primarily  as
economic  hedges  although  they do not  qualify  as  hedges  for
accounting  purposes.  Since these derivatives are not  accounted
for  as  hedges, fluctuations in the related prices could have  a
material  impact  on earnings in any given year.   From  time  to
time, Seaboard may enter into speculative derivative transactions
related to its market risks.

Changes  in  commodity prices affect the cost  of  necessary  raw
materials and other inventories, finished product sales and  firm
sales  commitments.   Seaboard uses  various  grain  and  oilseed
futures and options purchase contracts to manage certain risks of
increasing prices of raw materials and firm sales commitments  or
anticipated sales contracts.  Short sales contracts are then used
to   offset  the  open  purchase  derivatives  when  the  related
commodity  inventory is purchased in advance  of  the  derivative
maturity,  effectively offsetting the initial futures  or  option
purchase  contract.  From time to time, hog futures are  used  to
manage  risks  of  increasing prices of live  hogs  acquired  for
processing, and pork bellies and hog futures are used  to  manage
risks  of  fluctuating  prices of pork  product  inventories  and
related future sales.  From time to time, Seaboard may enter into
short  positions in energy related resources (i.e.  heating  oil,
crude oil, etc.) to manage certain exposures related to bioenergy
margins.   Inventories that are sensitive to changes in commodity
prices, including carrying amounts at December 31, 2009 and 2008,
are presented in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Raw material requirements, finished product sales, and firm sales
commitments are also sensitive to changes in commodity prices.

From  time-to-time,  the Commodity Trading  and  Milling  segment
enters  into certain forward freight agreements, viewed as taking
long  positions  in the freight market as well as covering  short
freight sales, which may or may not result in actual losses  when
future trades are executed.  These forward freight agreements are
viewed  by  management as an economic hedge against the potential
of  future  rising  charter hire rates to  be  incurred  by  this
segment for bulk cargo shipping while conducting its business  of
delivering  grains to customers in many international  locations.
Forward  freight agreements had virtually no net  exposure  to  a
change in market price as the two open forward freight agreements
offset each other at December 31, 2008.  As of December 31, 2009,
there were no such agreements outstanding.

Because  changes  in foreign currency exchange rates  affect  the
cash paid or received on foreign currency denominated receivables
and payables, Seaboard manages certain of these risks through the
use of foreign currency forward exchange agreements.  Changes  in
interest rates affect the cash required to service variable  rate
debt.  From  time to time, Seaboard uses interest rate  swaps  to
manage risks of increasing interest rates.

In  December 2008 and again in March 2009, Seaboard entered  into
ten-year  interest  rate exchange agreements which  involves  the
exchange  of fixed-rate and variable-rate interest payments  over
the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying
notional  amounts  to  mitigate the effects  of  fluctuations  in
interest rates on variable rate debt.  Seaboard agreed to  pay  a
fixed  rate  and  receive  a variable rate  of  interest  on  two
notional  amounts of $25.0 million each.  In June 2009,  Seaboard
terminated  both interest rate exchange agreements with  a  total
notional value of $50.0 million.  As of December 31, 2009,  there
were no interest rate exchange agreements outstanding.

                Management's Discussion & Analysis


The following table presents the sensitivity of the fair value of
Seaboard's  open  net  commodity  future  and  option  contracts,
forward  freight  agreements,  foreign  currency  contracts   and
interest  rate exchange agreements to a hypothetical 10%  adverse
change in market prices or in foreign exchange rates and interest
rates  as  of December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.   For  all
open derivatives, the fair value of such positions is a summation
of  the fair values calculated for each item by valuing each  net
position at quoted market prices as of the applicable date.

Management's Responsibility for Consolidated Financial Statements

The  management  of  Seaboard Corporation  and  its  consolidated
subsidiaries (Seaboard) is responsible for the preparation of its
consolidated   financial  statements  and   related   information
appearing   in  this  report.   Management  believes   that   the
consolidated  financial  statements  fairly  present   Seaboard's
financial  position and results of operations in conformity  with
U.S.  generally  accepted accounting principles  and  necessarily
includes amounts that are based on estimates and judgments  which
it  believes  are reasonable based on current circumstances  with
due consideration given to materiality.

Management relies on a system of internal controls over financial
reporting  that is designed to provide reasonable assurance  that
assets  are  safeguarded, transactions are executed in accordance
with  company  policy  and  U.S.  generally  accepted  accounting
principles, and are properly recorded, and accounting records are
adequate  for  preparation  of  financial  statements  and  other
information and disclosures. The concept of reasonable  assurance
is  based on recognition that the cost of a control system should
not   exceed  the  benefits  expected  to  be  derived  and  such
evaluations  require  estimates and judgments.   The  design  and
effectiveness of the system are monitored by a professional staff
of internal auditors.

All  internal control systems, no matter how well designed,  have
inherent  limitations.  Internal control over financial reporting
is  a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is
subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human
failures.   Therefore,  even  those  systems  determined  to   be
effective  can provide only reasonable assurance with respect  to
financial statement preparation and presentation.

The  Board of Directors pursues its review of auditing,  internal
controls  and  financial statements through its audit  committee,
composed  entirely of independent directors.  In the exercise  of
its responsibilities, the audit committee meets periodically with
management,  with the internal auditors and with the  independent
registered public accounting firm to review the scope and results
of  audits.  Both the internal auditors and the registered public
accounting  firm have unrestricted access to the audit  committee
with or without the presence of management.

The  consolidated financial statements have been audited  by  the
independent registered public accounting firm of KPMG LLP.  Their
responsibility is to examine records and transactions related  to
the  consolidated financial statements to the extent required  by
the  standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight  Board.
KPMG  has  rendered their opinion that the consolidated financial
statements  are  fairly presented, in all material  respects,  in
conformity  with  U.S. generally accepted accounting  principles.
Their report is included herein.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The  management  of  Seaboard Corporation  and  its  consolidated
subsidiaries  (Seaboard)  is  responsible  for  establishing  and
maintaining  adequate internal control over financial  reporting,
as  such  term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).   Under
the  supervision and with the participation of management and its
Internal  Audit Department, Seaboard conducted an  evaluation  of
the   effectiveness  of  its  internal  control  over   financial
reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations  of
the  Treadway  Commission (COSO).  Based on its evaluation  under
the   framework  in  Internal  Control  -  Integrated  Framework,
management  concluded  that  Seaboard's  internal  control   over
financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009.

Seaboard's  registered independent public accounting  firm,  that
audited  the  consolidated financial statements included  in  the
annual report, has issued an audit report on the effectiveness of
Seaboard's  internal  control over  financial  reporting.   Their
report is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Seaboard Corporation:

We  have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets  of
Seaboard  Corporation  and  subsidiaries  (the  Company)  as   of
December   31,  2009  and  2008,  and  the  related  consolidated
statements  of  earnings, changes in equity, and cash  flows  for
each    of   the   years   in   the   three-year   period   ended
December  31,  2009. These consolidated financial statements  are
the    responsibility   of   the   Company's   management.    Our
responsibility  is  to express an opinion on  these  consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of  the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those
standards  require that we plan and perform the audit  to  obtain
reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statements  are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on  a
test  basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures  in
the  financial  statements. An audit also includes assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates  made  by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We  believe that our audits provide  a  reasonable
basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above  present  fairly, in all material respects,  the  financial
position   of  Seaboard  Corporation  and  subsidiaries   as   of
December  31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their  operations
and  their  cash  flows for each of the years in  the  three-year
period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

We  also  have audited, in accordance with the standards  of  the
Public   Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States),
Seaboard  Corporation's internal control over financial reporting
as  of  December  31,  2009,  based on  criteria  established  in
Internal  Control - Integrated Framework issued by the  Committee
of  Sponsoring  Organizations of the Treadway Commission  (COSO),
and  our  report  dated  March 5, 2010 expressed  an  unqualified
opinion  on  the effectiveness of the Company's internal  control
over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Seaboard Corporation:

We  have  audited  Seaboard Corporation's internal  control  over
financial  reporting as of December 31, 2009, based  on  criteria
established  in Internal Control-Integrated Framework  issued  by
the   Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway
Commission   (COSO).   Seaboard   Corporation's   management   is
responsible  for  maintaining  effective  internal  control  over
financial  reporting and for its assessment of the  effectiveness
of  internal  control over financial reporting, included  in  the
accompanying  "Management's  Report  on  Internal  Control   over
Financial Reporting". Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on  the Company's internal control over financial reporting based
on our audit.

We  conducted our audit in accordance with the standards  of  the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those
standards  require that we plan and perform the audit  to  obtain
reasonable  assurance  about whether effective  internal  control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over  financial  reporting, assessing the risk  that  a  material
weakness  exists,  and  testing and  evaluating  the  design  and
operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed
risk.   Our  audit also included performing such other procedures
as  we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A  company's  internal  control over  financial  reporting  is  a
process  designed to provide reasonable assurance  regarding  the
reliability  of  financial  reporting  and  the  preparation   of
financial  statements for external purposes  in  accordance  with
generally  accepted accounting principles.  A company's  internal
control  over  financial reporting includes  those  policies  and
procedures  that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records  that,
in   reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly   reflect   the
transactions  and dispositions of the assets of the company;  (2)
provide  reasonable assurance that transactions are  recorded  as
necessary  to  permit  preparation  of  financial  statements  in
accordance  with  generally accepted accounting  principles,  and
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only
in  accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the  company;  and  (3)  provide reasonable  assurance  regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition,  use,
or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.

Because  of  its  inherent  limitations,  internal  control  over
financial  reporting  may  not prevent or  detect  misstatements.
Also,  projections of any evaluation of effectiveness  to  future
periods  are  subject  to  the  risk  that  controls  may  become
inadequate  because of changes in conditions, or that the  degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In  our opinion, Seaboard Corporation maintained, in all material
respects,  effective internal control over financial reporting as
of  December 31, 2009, based on criteria established in  Internal
Control-Integrated   Framework  issued  by   the   Committee   of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We  also  have audited, in accordance with the standards  of  the
Public  Company Accounting Oversight Board (United  States),  the
consolidated   balance   sheets  of  Seaboard   Corporation   and
subsidiaries  as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and  the  related
consolidated statements of earnings, changes in equity  and  cash
flows  for  each  of  the  years in the three-year  period  ended
December  31, 2009, and our report dated March 5, 2010  expressed
an   unqualified   opinion   on  those   consolidated   financial
statements.

          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Operations of Seaboard Corporation and its Subsidiaries

Seaboard  Corporation  and  its  subsidiaries  (Seaboard)  is   a
diversified   international   agribusiness   and   transportation
company.  In the United States, Seaboard is primarily engaged  in
pork   production   and  processing,  and  ocean  transportation.
Overseas,    Seaboard   is   primarily   engaged   in   commodity
merchandising, grain processing, sugar production,  and  electric
power  generation.   Seaboard Flour LLC  and  SFC  Preferred  LLC
(Parent   Companies)  are  the  owners  of  72.3%  of  Seaboard's
outstanding common stock.

Principles of Consolidation and Investments in Affiliates

The  consolidated financial statements include  the  accounts  of
Seaboard  Corporation and its domestic and foreign  subsidiaries.
All  significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated   in  consolidation.   Investments  in  non-controlled
foreign  affiliates  are  accounted for  by  the  equity  method.
Financial  information  from  certain  foreign  subsidiaries  and
affiliates is reported on a one- to three-month lag depending  on
the specific entity.

Short-term Investments

Short-term  investments  are  retained  for  future  use  in  the
business  and  may include money market accounts, municipal  debt
securities, corporate bonds and U.S. government obligations  and,
on  a  limited basis, foreign government bonds, high yield bonds,
currency  futures  and  domestic equity securities.   Investments
held  by Seaboard that are categorized as available-for-sale  are
reported   at  their  estimated  fair  value  with  any   related
unrealized  gains and losses reported net of tax, as a  component
of  accumulated other comprehensive income.  Investments held  by
Seaboard  that are categorized as trading securities are reported
at  their  estimated  fair value with any  unrealized  gains  and
losses  included  in other investment income on the  Consolidated
Statement  of Earnings.  Debt securities that are categorized  as
held  to  maturity,  are  recorded at amortized  cost,  which  is
adjusted  for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts
to  maturity.  Such amortization is included in interest  income.
Gains  and losses on sale of investments are generally  based  on
the specific identification method.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts  receivable  are  recorded at the  invoiced  amount  and
generally  do  not  bear interest.  The Power  segment,  however,
collects  interest on certain past due accounts and the Commodity
Trading  and Milling segment provides extended payment terms  for
certain   customers   and/or  markets  due  to   local   business
conditions.   The allowance for doubtful accounts  is  Seaboard's
best  estimate of the amount of probable credit losses.  For most
operating  segments,  Seaboard  uses  a  specific  identification
approach  to determine, in management's judgment, the  collection
value  of  certain past due accounts based on contractual  terms.
For  the  Marine segment, the allowance for doubtful accounts  is
based  on  an  aging  percentage methodology primarily  based  on
historical write-off experience.  Seaboard reviews its  allowance
for  doubtful accounts monthly.  Account balances are charged off
against  the  allowance after all means of collection  have  been
exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Inventories

Seaboard  uses  the lower of last-in, first-out  (LIFO)  cost  or
market  for  determining inventory cost of live hogs, fresh  pork
product and related materials.  Grain, flour and feed inventories
at foreign milling operations are valued at the lower of weighted
average cost or market.  All other inventories, including further
processed  pork  products, are valued at the lower  of  first-in,
first-out (FIFO) cost or market.

Deferred Costs

Deferred  costs  represent inventory delivered to  customers  and
related shipping costs incurred for certain commodity trades that
Seaboard  has  received the majority of payments for  the  trades
(which  are  recorded  as  deferred revenues)  but  has  not  yet
recognized  as revenue as the final sale price is not  yet  fixed
and  determinable.   The corresponding deferred  margin  on  such
trades is not deemed material.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property,  plant and equipment are carried at cost and are  being
depreciated  generally on the straight-line  method  over  useful
lives  ranging from 3 to 30 years.  Property, plant and equipment
leases  which  are deemed to be installment purchase  obligations
have  been  capitalized and included in the property,  plant  and
equipment  accounts.   Routine  and  planned  major  maintenance,
repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred while  major
renewals and improvements are capitalized.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived  assets, primarily property, plant and equipment,  are
reviewed  for  impairment when events or changes in circumstances
indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be  recoverable.
Recoverability  of assets to be held and used is  measured  by  a
comparison  of  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  to  future
undiscounted  net  cash flows expected to  be  generated  by  the
asset.   If  such  assets  are determined  to  be  impaired,  the
impairment  to be recognized is measured by the amount  by  which
the  carrying  amount of the assets exceeds  the  estimated  fair
value  of  the assets.  Assets to be disposed of are reported  at
the  lower  of  the carrying amount or fair value less  costs  to
sell.  See Note 6 for further discussion on the Pork Segment  and
its recorded value of the biodiesel processing plant.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill   and  other  indefinite-life  intangible   assets   are
evaluated  annually for impairment at the quarter-end closest  to
the  anniversary date of the acquisition, or more  frequently  if
circumstances  indicate  that impairment  is  likely.   Separable
intangible  assets  with finite lives are  amortized  over  their
estimated useful lives.  Any one event or a combination of events
such  as  change  in the business climate, a negative  change  in
relationships   with  significant  customers,  and   changes   to
strategic  decisions,  including decisions  to  expand,  made  in
response  to economic or competitive conditions could require  an
interim  assessment prior to the next required annual assessment.
The  most  recent impairment tests performed and  current  market
conditions indicated goodwill and other intangible assets are not
impaired as of December 31, 2009.  However, future conditions and
marketplace   changes  could  significantly  impact   prospective
determinations of estimated cash flows as of December 31, 2009.

Accrued Self-Insurance

Seaboard  is  self-insured  for certain  levels  of  general  and
vehicle   liability,  property,  workers'  compensation,  product
recall  and  health  care  coverage.  The  cost  of  these  self-
insurance  programs  is accrued based upon estimated  settlements
for  known  and  anticipated claims.   Changes  in  estimates  to
previously  recorded reserves are reflected in current  operating
results.

Deferred Grants

Included  in other liabilities at December 31, 2009 and 2008  was
$6,469,000 and $6,894,000, respectively, of deferred grants.  The
deferred  grants represent economic development funds contributed
by  government  entities that were limited to construction  of  a
pork  processing  facility in Guymon, Oklahoma.  Deferred  grants
are  being amortized as a reduction of depreciation expense  over
the life of the assets acquired with the funds.

Asset Retirement Obligation

Seaboard  has recorded long-lived assets and a related  liability
for  the  asset retirement obligation costs associated  with  the
closure  of the hog lagoons it is legally obligated to  close  in
the future should Seaboard cease operations or plan to close such
lagoons voluntarily in accordance with a changed operating  plan.
Based on detailed assessments and appraisals obtained to estimate
the future retirement costs, Seaboard has determined and recorded
the  present  value  of the projected costs in non-current  other
liabilities   on  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet,   with   the
retirement  asset  depreciated over  the  economic  life  of  the
related  asset.   For  2009, the adjustment to  existing  lagoons
relates  to  changes  in  certain state  regulations  for  lagoon
closures.   The following table shows the changes  in  the  asset
retirement obligation during 2009 and 2008.

          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences  of
temporary  differences by applying enacted  statutory  tax  rates
applicable  to future years to differences between the  financial
statement  carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing  assets
and   liabilities.   However,  in  the  future  as  these  timing
differences  reverse,  a  lower  statutory  tax  rate  may  apply
pursuant  to  the  provisions for domestic manufacturers  of  the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.  In accordance with Financial
Accounting   Standards   Board   (FASB)   Accounting    Standards
Codification (ASC) Topic 740-10-55 (formerly FASB Staff  Position
No. 109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for
Income  Taxes,  to  the  Tax Deduction  on  Qualified  Production
Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of  2004"),
Seaboard will recognize the benefit or cost of this change in the
future.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue  of the containerized cargo service is recognized ratably
over  the  transit time for each voyage with expenses  associated
with  containerized cargo service being recognized  as  incurred.
Revenue of the commodity trading business is recognized when  the
commodity  is delivered to the customer, collection is reasonably
assured,  and the sales price is fixed or determinable.  Revenues
from  all  other commercial exchanges are recognized at the  time
products  are  shipped or delivered in accordance  with  shipping
terms  or  services  rendered, the customer takes  ownership  and
assumes  risk of loss, collection is reasonably assured  and  the
sales price is fixed or determinable.  As a result of a marketing
agreement with Triumph Foods, beginning in 2006, Seaboard's sales
prices  for  its pork products included in product  revenues  are
primarily  based on a margin sharing arrangement  that  considers
the  average  sales  price  and mix of products  sold  from  both
Seaboard's  and  Triumph Foods' hog processing plants.   Seaboard
earns a fee for marketing the pork products of Triumph Foods  and
recognizes  this fee as service revenue primarily  based  on  the
number of head processed by Triumph Foods.

Use of Estimates

The  preparation  of  the  consolidated financial  statements  in
conformity  with  U.S.  generally accepted accounting  principles
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated
financial  statements and the reported amounts  of  revenues  and
expenses  during  the  reporting period.   Actual  results  could
differ from those estimates.

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings  per  common share are based upon the  weighted  average
shares outstanding during the period.  Basic and diluted earnings
per share are the same for all periods presented.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For  purposes  of  the  consolidated statements  of  cash  flows,
management   considers   all  demand   deposits   and   overnight
investments  as  cash  equivalents.   Net  cash  from   operating
activities  was increased and net cash from investing  activities
was  decreased  from prior year presentation  by  $1,333,000  and
$1,954,000  for  2008 and 2007, respectively, to conform  to  the
2009  presentation of dividends received from foreign affiliates.
The  following  table  shows the amounts paid  for  interest  and
income taxes.

Supplemental Noncash Transactions

As more fully described in Note 13, in May 2009 Seaboard received
sovereign government bonds of the Dominican Republic with  a  par
value  of $20,000,000 denominated in U.S. dollars to satisfy  the
same  amount  of  outstanding billings owed by  a  customer  that
Seaboard had classified as long-term.  During the fourth  quarter
of 2009, Seaboard sold a portion of these bonds with par value of
$9,700,000.  At December 31, 2009, the remaining $10,300,000  par
value  of  bonds are classified as available-for-sale short  term
investments  on  the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  During  January
and February 2010, Seaboard sold the remaining bonds resulting in
an immaterial loss.

          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As more fully described in Note 2, Seaboard repurchased the 4.74%
equity  interest in Seaboard Foods LLC from the former owners  of
Daily's   effective  January  1,  2007.   The   following   table
summarizes   the  non-cash  transactions  resulting   from   this
repurchase.

In  the  fourth  quarter  of  2007, the  Power  segment  received
$4,500,000  of  fixed assets for the settlement of a  receivable,
not  related  to  its business and purchased at a  discount,  and
recognized  a  gain  of $3,596,000 included in  other  investment
income.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

Seaboard has operations in and transactions with customers  in  a
number  of  foreign countries.  The currencies of  the  countries
fluctuate  in relation to the U.S. dollar.  Certain of the  major
contracts  and  transactions, however, are  denominated  in  U.S.
dollars.  In addition, the value of the U.S. dollar fluctuates in
relation  to  the  currencies  of  countries  where  certain   of
Seaboard's foreign subsidiaries and affiliates primarily  conduct
business.   These  fluctuations  result  in  exchange  gains  and
losses.   The  activities  of  these  foreign  subsidiaries   and
affiliates  are  primarily conducted with  U.S.  subsidiaries  or
operate  in  hyper-inflationary environments.  As a  result,  the
financial   statements  of  certain  foreign   subsidiaries   and
affiliates  are  re-measured  using  the  U.S.  dollar   as   the
functional  currency.  Included in foreign currency gain  (loss),
net  for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007  was  a
foreign  currency gain of $4,794,000, a foreign currency loss  of
$(4,575,000)   and  a  foreign  currency  gain   of   $1,000,000,
respectively.     These  losses  and  gains   reflect   the   re-
measurements  as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 of a note  payable
denominated in Japanese Yen, as discussed in Note 8, of a foreign
consolidated subsidiary accounted for on a one-month  lag  except
for this re-measurement of this note payable.  The currency gains
for 2009 and 2007 and losses for 2008 were primarily offset by  a
mark-to-market currency loss for December in 2009 and 2007 and  a
gain  in  December  for 2008 from a foreign  currency  derivative
contract  discussed  in  Note 9.  The note  payable  and  related
foreign currency derivative were terminated in December 2009.

Seaboard's   Sugar   segment  and  three   non-controlled,   non-
consolidated foreign affiliates (milling businesses in  Colombia,
Kenya  and  Lesotho),  use  local currency  as  their  functional
currency.   Assets  and  liabilities of  these  subsidiaries  are
translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates, and income
and  expense  items are translated at average rates.  Translation
gains   and   losses   are  recorded  as  components   of   other
comprehensive  loss.   U.S.  dollar  denominated  net  asset   or
liability conversions to the local currency are recorded  through
income.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Seaboard   recognizes  all  derivatives  as  either   assets   or
liabilities at their fair values.  Accounting for changes in  the
fair  value  of  a  derivative depends  on  its  designation  and
effectiveness.  Derivatives qualify for treatment as  hedges  for
accounting purposes when there is a high correlation between  the
change in fair value of the instrument and the related change  in
value  of  the  underlying commitment.  In order to  designate  a
derivative   financial  instrument  as  a  hedge  for  accounting
purposes,  extensive record keeping is required.  For derivatives
that  qualify  as hedges for accounting purposes, the  change  in
fair  value  has  no net impact on earnings, to  the  extent  the
derivative  is considered effective, until the hedged transaction
affects  earnings.   For derivatives that are not  designated  as
hedging   instruments  for  accounting  purposes,  or   for   the
ineffective portion of a hedging instrument, the change  in  fair
value does affect current period net earnings.

Seaboard  holds  and  issues  certain derivative  instruments  to
manage   various  types  of  market  risks  from  its  day-to-day
operations  primarily  including  commodity  futures  and  option
contracts and foreign currency exchange agreements, and from time-
to-time,  forward freight agreements and interest  rate  exchange
agreements.   While management believes each of these instruments
primarily are entered into in order to effectively manage various
market  risks,  as

<PAGE> 35

          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

of December 31, 2009, none of the  derivatives are designated and
accounted  for  as  hedges primarily as a result of the extensive
record-keeping requirements.  From time  to  time,  Seaboard  may
enter  into  speculative  derivative  transactions related to its
market risks.

New Accounting Standards

In  June  2009,  the  FASB  issued  ASC  Topic  810-10  (formerly
Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) No. 167 "Amendments  to  FASB
Interpretation  No.  46(R)").  This Topic  amends  Interpretation
46(R)  and  requires  an  enterprise to perform  an  analysis  to
determine whether the enterprise's variable interest or interests
give  it  a controlling financial interest in a variable interest
entity  (VIE).  This analysis identifies the primary  beneficiary
of  a VIE as the enterprise that has both the power to direct the
most significant activities of a VIE and the obligation to absorb
losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE.

This   Topic  eliminates  the  quantitative  approach  previously
required  for  determining the primary beneficiary  of  the  VIE,
which  was  based  on  determining which enterprise  absorbs  the
majority of the entity's expected losses, receives a majority  of
the  entity's expected residual returns, or both. This Topic also
amends  Interpretation 46(R) to require ongoing reassessments  of
whether  an  enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a  variable
interest entity and requires certain additional disclosures about
the  VIE.   Seaboard will be required to adopt this Topic  as  of
January 1, 2010.  Management believes the adoption of this  Topic
will  not have a material impact on Seaboard's financial position
or net earnings.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Seaboard adopted FASB ASC Topic 810-10-65 (formerly FAS No.  160,
"Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  -
an  amendment of ARB No. 51") as of January 1, 2009.  This  Topic
changed  the  accounting  and reporting for  minority  interests,
which  are now recharacterized as noncontrolling interests.   The
noncontrolling  interests are now classified as  a  component  of
equity.    Noncontrolling  interests  are   included   in   total
stockholder's  equity  for  all  years  stockholder's  equity  is
presented.   This  Topic  did  not  have  a  material  impact  on
Seaboard's financial position or net earnings.

Note 2

Acquisitions and Repurchase of Noncontrolling Interest

On  July  5,  2005, Seaboard acquired Daily's, a bacon  processor
located   in  the  western  United  States.   As  part  of   this
acquisition,  a 4.74% equity interest in Seaboard Foods  LLC  was
issued  to  the sellers.  On December 27, 2006, Seaboard  entered
into a Purchase Agreement to repurchase the 4.74% equity interest
in  Foods from the former owners of Daily's effective January  1,
2007.   As  part  of the Purchase Agreement, on January  2,  2007
Seaboard  paid  $30,000,000 of the purchase price for  the  4.74%
equity  interest to the former owners of Daily's.  Based  on  the
formula  of operating results and certain net cash flows  through
June  30,  2007,  the final purchase price was determined  to  be
$61,260,000,  including transaction costs of  $53,000.   Seaboard
paid  the balance of the purchase price owed to the former owners
of  Daily's  of  $31,207,000 in August 2007.  The total  purchase
price  for  the 4.74% equity interest in Seaboard  Foods  LLC  of
$61,260,000  represents  $23,327,000 in  excess  of  book  value.
Seaboard applied the purchase method of accounting for this  step
acquisition by allocating the purchase price to the fair value of
the  net  assets  acquired to the extent of the 4.74%  change  in
ownership.

As  a  result of the Daily's acquisition and repurchase, the Pork
segment  is the only segment with goodwill or intangible  assets.
The  following  table  is  a summary of goodwill  and  intangible
assets  acquired  from  the  Daily's acquisition  and  Seaboard's
repurchase of Daily's 4.74% equity interest in Foods, at December
31, 2009 and 2008.

The amortization expense of amortizable intangible assets for the

$1,610,000,  and $1,610,000, respectively.  Amortization  expense
for  the five succeeding years is $930,000 for the next year  and
$250,000 each for the second, third, fourth and fifth year.

As  of  December  31, 2009, the Pork segment had  $28,372,000  of
goodwill  and $17,000,000 of other intangible assets not  subject
to  amortization in connection with its acquisition of Daily's in
2005.   In  2008,  revised projected future sales  prices  as  of
December  31,  2008 indicated the potential for  impairment.   In
addition,  the overall downturn of the United States economy  and
Seaboard's stock price trading below book value during the fourth
quarter  of  2008  provided additional indicators  that  Seaboard
should  reassess its annual evaluation for impairment related  to
Daily's  intangible assets.  This reassessment included  downward
revisions  in previously used future projected sales volumes  and
royalty rate assumptions used in the measurement of Daily's trade
name  as  a  result  of  the current economic  conditions.   This
analysis resulted in a $7,000,000 impairment charge recorded   in
cost  of sales on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings  during
the  fourth quarter of 2008 to write down the recorded  value  of
Daily's trade name to its estimated fair value of $17,000,000  as
of December 31, 2008.  After this impairment charge, there was no
indication of potential impairment of goodwill related to Daily's
as  the  revised  estimated  enterprise  fair  value  of  Daily's
exceeded its book value as of December 31, 2008.  As of  July  4,
2009, Seaboard conducted its annual evaluation for impairment  of
this goodwill and other intangible assets related to Daily's and,
based  on current market conditions indicating future sale  price
increases,  additional processed meats sales volumes and  related
levels  of  estimated operating margins determined there  was  no
impairment as of December 31, 2009.

Note 3

Short Term Investments

In  April  2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 320-10-65  (previously
Staff   Position  FAS  115-2  and  FAS  124-2  "Recognition   and
Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments").   This  Topic
amends  the other-than-temporary guidance for debt securities  to
make the guidance more operational.  This Topic also expands  the
disclosures required in Topic 320-10 to interim periods. Seaboard
adopted  this Topic in the second quarter of 2009.  The  adoption
of  this  Topic  did  not have an impact on Seaboard's  financial
position or net earnings.

Seaboard's short-term investments are treated as either available-
for-sale  securities or trading securities.   All  of  Seaboard's
available-for-sale  and  trading  securities  are  classified  as
current   assets  as  they  are  readily  available  to   support
Seaboard's current operating needs.  All of Seaboard's short term
investments are recorded at their estimated fair market values.

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


As   of  December  31,  2009  and  2008,  the  available-for-sale
investments primarily consisted of money market funds, fixed rate
municipal  notes  and bonds, corporate bonds and U.S.  Government
agency  securities.  At December 31, 2009  and  2008,  short-term
investments  included $14,710,000 and $14,553,000,  respectively,
held  by  a  wholly-owned consolidated insurance captive  to  pay
Seaboard's retention of accrued outstanding workers' compensation
claims.   At  December  31,  2009 and 2008,  amortized  cost  and
estimated  fair  market value were not materially  different  for
these   investments.   As  of  December  31,  2009,  the  trading
securities primarily consisted of high yield debt securities.  As
of  December  31,  2009  and 2008, unrealized  gains  related  to
trading securities were $2,206,000 and $2,763,000, respectively.

The  following  is a summary of the amortized cost and  estimated
fair  value of short-term investments for both available for sale
and trading securities at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

           Total inventories                                $498,587  $508,995

The use of the LIFO method increased 2009 earnings by $10,898,000
($8.81 per common share) and decreased 2008 and 2007 net earnings
by  $10,469,000 ($8.42 per common share) and $15,230,000  ($12.11
per  common  share), respectively.  If the FIFO method  had  been
used  for  certain  inventories of the Pork segment,  inventories
would  have  been  higher by $22,807,000 and  $40,672,000  as  of
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

As  of  December 31, 2009, Seaboard had $10,784,000  recorded  in
grain inventories related to its commodity trading business  that
are committed to various customers in foreign countries for which
customer  contract  performance  is  a  heightened  concern.   If
Seaboard  is  unable to collect amounts from these  customers  as
currently estimated or Seaboard is forced to find other customers
for  a  portion  of this inventory, it is possible that  Seaboard
could  incur a material write-down in value of this inventory  if
Seaboard  is  not  successful in selling at the current  carrying
value.   For  similar inventories that existed prior to  December
31, 2009, Seaboard incurred a write-down in the first quarter  of
2009   in   the  amount  of  $8,801,000  (with  no  tax   benefit
recognized), or $7.10 per share and a write-down of $7,010,000 in
2008, including $5,653,000 ($4,940,000 net of tax), or $3.98  per
share, recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Note 5

Investments in and Advances to Foreign Affiliates

Seaboard's  investments in and advances to  non-controlled,  non-
consolidated  foreign  affiliates are primarily  with  businesses
conducting  flour, maize and feed milling.  As  of  December  31,
2009,  the  location and percentage ownership  of  these  foreign
affiliates  are as follows: Democratic Republic of  Congo  (50%),
Lesotho  (50%),  Kenya  (35%), and Nigeria  (25-48%)  in  Africa;
Colombia  (40%) and Ecuador (25-50%) in South America; and  Haiti
(23%)  in the Caribbean.  Also, Seaboard has an investment  in  a
grain trading business in Peru (50%).  Seaboard generally is  the
primary  provider of choice for grains and supplies purchased  by
these  non-controlled foreign affiliates.  As  Seaboard  conducts
its  commodity trading business with third parties,  consolidated
subsidiaries  and  foreign affiliates on an  interrelated  basis,
gross   margin   on   foreign  affiliates   cannot   be   clearly
distinguished without making numerous assumptions primarily  with
respect  to  mark-to-market accounting for commodity derivatives.
In  addition,  Seaboard has investments in and  advances  to  two
sugar-related  businesses in Argentina (46% - 50%).   The  equity
method is used to account for all of the above investments.

<PAGE> 39

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

In  September 2007, Seaboard acquired for $8,500,000 a  40%  non-
controlling  interest,  including  cash  contributed   into   the
business,  in a flour milling business in Colombia.   During  the
fourth  quarter of 2007, Seaboard acquired for $6,620,000  a  50%
non-controlling  interest in a grain trading  business  in  Peru.
Both  of  these  investments are accounted for using  the  equity
method.   At December 31, 2009, Seaboard's investment in  foreign
affiliates  included $3,778,000 related to the excess  difference
between  the  amount at which these investments were carried  and
the  amount  of underlying equity in net assets.  The amortizable
assets  are  being amortized to earnings from foreign  affiliates
over the remaining life of the assets.

Seaboard also had an investment in a Bulgarian wine business (the
Business).  Beginning in March 2007, this business was unable  to
make its scheduled loan payments and was in technical default  on
its  bank  debt.   During the fourth quarter  of  2007,  Seaboard
signed an agreement to allow a bank to take majority ownership of
the  Business  resulting  in a loss of significant  influence  by
Seaboard.   Accordingly, after recording its share  of  operating
losses  for the fourth quarter, Seaboard discontinued  using  the
equity method of accounting.  In accordance with ASC Topic 323-10-
35  (formerly  FASB  Staff Position APB 18-1), Seaboard  reversed
$2,801,000  of  previously recorded foreign currency  translation
gains  out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in the  equity
section  of the balance sheet related to this investment,  wrote-
off   the   remaining  investment  balance  of  $1,472,000,   and
recognized as income the remaining net amount of foreign currency
gains  of  $1,329,000 as of December 31, 2007. In 2007,  Seaboard
recorded 50% of the losses from the Business.  In February  2009,
Seaboard  received approximately $64,000 for all of its remaining
shares outstanding in this Business.

In prior years, Seaboard's equity investments in its Nigerian non-
consolidated  foreign affiliates were written down  to  zero  and
Seaboard  suspended  using the equity method  of  accounting  for
these non-consolidated foreign affiliates as losses allocated  to
Seaboard  exceeded the investment.  During the fourth quarter  of
2009,  the  application of the equity method  of  accounting  was
resumed   for   these   entities  as  a  result   of   Seaboard's
proportionate share of income exceeding the share of  losses  not
recognized  during  the prior periods.  A significant  factor  to
this   occurring   was  the  result  of  one  of   the   entities
discontinuing its feed mill operations by selling its trade  name
and  certain  assets  to  an entity in exchange  for  a  minority
ownership  in  such  entity,  and a separate  sale  of  land  and
building  to  a  third party for cash.  Seaboard's  proportionate
share   of   these  two  asset  sales  represents   approximately
$2,323,000 of the income from foreign affiliates for 2009.

Combined  condensed financial information of the  non-controlled,
non-consolidated  foreign  affiliates for  their  fiscal  periods
ended  within  each  of  Seaboard's years  ended,  excluding  the
Bulgarian wine operation's financial position as of December  31,
2007  and  net  sales and net loss for 2008  and  2009  of  Other
Businesses, were as follows:

During the first half of 2008, Seaboard started operations at its
newly constructed biodiesel plant.  The ongoing profitability  of
this  plant is primarily based on future sales prices, the  price
of  alternative inputs, enforcement of government usage  mandates
and  reinstituting federal tax credits, which expired at the  end
of  2009.   Management believes the federal tax credits  will  be
renewed  retroactive  to January 1, 2010, sometime  during  2010.
Several tax credits were allowed to expire at the end of 2009 and
the  U.S.  Congress  has  indicated these  will  be  specifically
reviewed  again  in  2010.   As of December  31,  2009,  Seaboard
performed  an impairment evaluation of this plant and  determined
there was no impairment based on management's current assumptions
of  future production volumes, sales prices, cost inputs and  the
probabilities  of the combination of federal usage  mandates  and
tax  credits being renewed.  However, if the federal tax  credits
are  not renewed as discussed above, and future market conditions
do  not produce projected sales prices or expected cost inputs or
there is a material change in the enforcement of government usage
mandates  or  other available tax credits, there is a possibility
that  some amount of the recorded value of this processing  plant
could  be  deemed  impaired during some future  period  including
2010,  which  may result in a charge to earnings.  The  net  book
value of these assets as of December 31, 2009 was $43,162,000.

As  of  December 31, 2009, the net book value of $20,090,000  for
two  barges previously classified as machinery and equipment  was
reclassified as held for sale in non-current other  assets.   See
Note  13  to  the Consolidated Financial Statements  for  further
discussion.

Seaboard recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized  tax
benefits  and  penalties in income tax expense.   For  the  years
ended  December  31,  2009,  2008 and  2007,  such  interest  and
penalties  were  not  material.  The  Company  had  approximately
$1,153,000  and $726,000 accrued for the payment of interest  and
penalties  on uncertain tax positions at December 31,  2009,  and
2008, respectively.

As  of  December  31, 2009 and 2008, Seaboard had $3,395,000  and
$3,464,000, respectively, in total unrecognized tax benefits  all
of  which,  if recognized, would affect the effective  tax  rate.
Seaboard  does not have any material uncertain tax  positions  in
which  it  is reasonably possible that the total amounts  of  the
unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease
within 12 months of the reporting date.  The following table is a
reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized
tax benefits.

Seaboard's  tax  returns are regularly audited by federal,  state
and  foreign  tax  authorities, which may result in  adjustments.
Seaboard's  U.S.  federal income tax returns have  been  reviewed
through the 2004 tax year.

As  of  December  31  2009, Seaboard had not  provided  for  U.S.
Federal  Income and foreign withholding taxes on $655,964,000  of
undistributed  earnings  from  foreign  operations  as   Seaboard
intends  to  reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside  of  the
United  States.  Determination of the tax that might be  paid  on
these  undistributed  earnings  if  eventually  remitted  is  not
practicable.

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Seaboard has tax holidays in one foreign country in 2009 and 2008
and  had  tax  holidays in two foreign countries  in  2007  which
resulted  in tax savings of approximately $3,259,000, $1,961,000,
and  $2,646,000  or $2.63, $1.58, and $2.10 per diluted  earnings
per  common share for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and
2007, respectively.  One of these expired at the end of 2007  and
the other expires in 2012.

Management  believes  Seaboard's future taxable  income  will  be
sufficient  for full realization of the net deferred tax  assets.
The  valuation allowance relates to the tax benefits from foreign
net  operating losses, U.S. charitable contribution carryforwards
and  capital losses.  Management does not believe these  benefits
are  more  likely  than  not to be realized  due  to  limitations
imposed  on  the  deduction of these  losses.   The  increase  of
$7,546,000 in the valuations allowance for 2009 was primarily the
result of foreign minimum income tax credits which are subject to
a  limited  carryforward period and taxable  income  limitations,
partially   offset   by   the   realization   of   capital   loss
carryforwards.   At December 31, 2009, Seaboard had  foreign  net
operating  loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately $36,110,000
a  portion  of which expire in varying amounts between  2010  and
2016, while others have indefinite expiration periods.

At December 31, 2009, Seaboard had state tax credit carryforwards
of  approximately $12,368,000 net of valuation allowance, all  of
which carryforward indefinitely.

Note 8

Notes Payable and Long-term Debt

Notes  payable  amounting  to  $81,262,000  and  $177,205,000  at
December   31,   2009  and  2008,  respectively,   consisted   of
obligations  due  banks on demand or based on Seaboard's  ability
and  intent  to repay within one year.  In the fourth quarter  of
2009,  Seaboard obtained letter of credit financing that replaced
existing  letters of credit resulting in an increase to borrowing
capacity  by  approximately $16,303,000.  At December  31,  2009,
Seaboard  had  a  committed line totaling $300,000,000,  maturing
July  10,  2013,  and  uncommitted lines  totaling  approximately
$135,588,000 of which $98,588,000 of the uncommitted lines relate
to  foreign  subsidiaries.  At December 31, 2009, there  were  no
borrowings  outstanding under the committed line  and  borrowings
outstanding under the uncommitted lines totaled $33,762,000,  all
related  to  foreign  subsidiaries.  The  uncommitted  borrowings
outstanding   at   December   31,  2009   primarily   represented
$24,899,000 denominated in South African rand.  Also included  in
Notes Payable at December 31, 2008 was a term note of $56,638,000
denominated in Japanese Yen which was converted during the fourth
quarter of 2008 from a previous uncommitted line.  The term  note
denominated  in  Japanese Yen was paid off in December  2009  and
replaced  with  a term note denominated in U.S.  dollars  with  a
balance  of  $47,500,000  at December  31,  2009.   The  weighted
average  interest rates for outstanding notes payable were  6.07%
and 6.04% at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

At  December  31, 2009, Seaboard's borrowing capacity  under  its
committed and uncommitted lines were reduced by letters of credit
(LCs)   totaling   $41,720,000,  and  $3,780,000,   respectively,
primarily including $26,385,000 of LCs for Seaboard's outstanding
Industrial  Development  Revenue Bonds  (IDRBs)  and  $16,802,000
related to insurance coverages.

The  notes payable to banks under the credit lines are unsecured.
The  lines  of  credit  do  not  require  compensating  balances.
Facility fees on these agreements are not material.

subsidiary obligations, $1,074,000 was denominated in CFA francs,
$262,000  was  payable  in  Argentine pesos,  and  the  remaining
$143,000 was denominated in Mozambique metical.

The  terms  of the note agreements pursuant to which  the  senior
notes,  IDRBs,  bank debt and credit lines were  issued  require,
among  other terms, the maintenance of certain ratios and minimum
net  worth,  the most restrictive of which requires  consolidated
funded   debt   not   to   exceed  50%  of   consolidated   total
capitalization; an adjusted leverage ratio of less  than  3.5  to
1.0; requires the maintenance of consolidated tangible net worth,
as   defined,  of  not  less  than  $1,150,000,000  plus  25%  of
cumulative  consolidated  net income beginning  March  29,  2008;
limits  aggregate dividend payments to $10,000,000  plus  50%  of
consolidated  net  income  less 100% of consolidated  net  losses
beginning  January  1,  2002 plus the  aggregate  amount  of  Net
Proceeds  of  Capital Stock for such period ($535,883,000  as  of
December  31,  2009)  or  $15,000,000  per  year  under   certain
circumstances;  limits  the  sum of subsidiary  indebtedness  and
priority indebtedness to 10% of consolidated tangible net  worth;
and  limits  Seaboard's ability to acquire investments  and  sell
assets  under  certain circumstances.  Seaboard is in  compliance
with  all restrictive debt covenants relating to these agreements
as of December 31, 2009.

Annual  maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 2009 are  as
follows:  $2,337,000 in 2010, $1,477,000 in 2011, $32,546,000  in
2012,  $556,000  in  2013,  $7,953,000 in  2014  and  $34,000,000
thereafter.

Note 9

Derivatives and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Seaboard adopted ASC Topic 820 (formerly FAS No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements")  on  January  1,  2008  with  the   exception   of
nonfinancial  assets  and  nonfinancial  liabilities  that   were
deferred  by ASC Topic 820-10 (formerly the Financial  Accounting
Standards Board Staff Position FAS 157-2).  Seaboard adopted  ASC
Topic   820   for  these  nonfinancial  assets  and  nonfinancial
liabilities as of January 1, 2009.  The adoption of ASC Topic 820
for  nonfinancial assets and liabilities did not have a  material
impact on Seaboard's financial position or net earnings.

ASC  Topic 820 discusses valuation techniques, such as the market
approach  (prices  and  other relevant information  generated  by
market  conditions  involving identical or comparable  assets  or
liabilities),  the income approach (techniques to convert  future
amounts  to  single present amounts based on market  expectations
including present value techniques and option-pricing),  and  the
cost  approach  (amount  that would be required  to  replace  the
service  capacity  of  an asset which is  often  referred  to  as
replacement cost).  ASC Topic 820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy

<PAGE> 45

          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

that  prioritizes  the  inputs to valuation  techniques  used  to
measure fair value into three broad levels.  The following  is  a
brief description of those three levels:

Level 1:  Quoted Prices In Active Markets for Identical Assets  -
Observable  inputs  such as unadjusted quoted  prices  in  active
markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company  has
the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant Other Observable Inputs - Inputs other  than
quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These include
quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
and  quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities
in markets that are not active.

Level  3:  Significant Unobservable Inputs - Unobservable  inputs
that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions.

The following table shows assets and liabilities measured at fair
value  (derivatives exclude margin accounts) on a recurring basis
as  of December 31, 2009 and also the level within the fair value
hierarchy used to measure each category of assets.

In  April  2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 820-10-65-4  (formerly
FASB  Staff Position FAS 157-4 "Determining Fair Value  When  the
Volume  and  Level  of Activity for the Asset or  Liability  Have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly").    This   Topic  provides  additional   guidance   for
estimating  fair value when the volume and level of activity  for
the  asset  or liability have significantly decreased.   Seaboard
adopted  this Topic in the second quarter of 2009.  The  adoption
of  this  Topic  did  not have an impact on Seaboard's  financial
position or net earnings.

         Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Financial  instruments consisting of cash and  cash  equivalents,
net  receivables, notes payable, and accounts payable are carried
at cost, which approximates fair value, as a result of the short-
term nature of the instruments.

The  fair  value  of  long-term debt is  estimated  by  comparing
interest  rates  for debt with similar terms and maturities.  The
amortized cost and estimated fair values of investments and long-
term debt at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are presented below.

In March 2008, the FASB issued ASC Topic 815-10 (formerly FAS No.
161,   "Disclosures  about  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging
Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133").  This  Topic
changed  the  disclosure requirements for derivative  instruments
and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced
disclosures   about  how  and  why  an  entity  uses   derivative
instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged  items
are  accounted  for  under  ASC Topic  815,  and  how  derivative
instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial
position,  net earnings, and cash flows.  Seaboard  adopted  this
Topic  as of January 1, 2009.  This Topic did not have an  impact
on   Seaboard's  financial  position  or  net  earnings.    While
management believes its derivatives are primarily economic hedges
of  its  firm  purchase and sales contracts or anticipated  sales
contracts, Seaboard does not perform the extensive record-keeping
required to account for these types of transactions as hedges for
accounting purposes.

Commodity Instruments

Seaboard  uses various grain, meal, hog, pork bellies and  energy
resource related futures and options to manage its risk to  price
fluctuations  for  raw materials and other inventories,  finished
product  sales and firm sales commitments.   From time  to  time,
Seaboard  may enter into speculative derivative transactions  not
directly related to its raw material requirements.  The nature of
Seaboard's market risk exposure has not changed materially  since
December  31, 2008.  Commodity derivatives are recorded  at  fair
value with any changes in fair value being marked to market as  a
component  of  cost  of sales on the Consolidated  Statements  of
Earnings.   Since  these derivatives are  not  accounted  for  as
hedges, fluctuations in the related commodity prices could have a
material impact on earnings in any given year.

At  December 31, 2009, Seaboard had open net derivative contracts
to sell 13,955,000 bushels of grain, 1,344,000 gallons of heating
oil  and  87,900  tons of soybean meal and to purchase  2,720,000
pounds  of  hogs.  At December 31, 2008, Seaboard  had  open  net
contracts  to  purchase and (sell) (8,305,000) bushels  of  grain
with  a  fair  value of $(3,272,000) 61,000 tons of soybean  meal
with  a  fair value of $(589,000) and 13,200,000 pounds  of  hogs
with  a  fair  value  of $(23,000), included with  other  accrued
liabilities  or other current assets on the Consolidated  Balance
Sheets.   At  December 31, 2008, Seaboard had contracts  to  sell
1,722,000 tons of heating oil with a fair value of $59,000.   For
the  years  ended  December  31, 2009,  2008  and  2007  Seaboard
recognized  net  realized  and unrealized  gains  of  $7,047,000,
$36,156,000, and $18,469,000, respectively, related to  commodity
contracts,   primarily  included  in  cost  of   sales   on   the
Consolidated Statements of Earnings.

Seaboard  enters  into  foreign currency exchange  agreements  to
manage  the  foreign currency exchange rate risk with respect  to
certain  transactions denominated in foreign  currencies.   These
foreign  exchange  agreements are recorded  at  fair  value  with
changes in value marked to market as a component of cost of sales
on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings as management believes
they   are   primarily   related  to  the  underlying   commodity
transaction,  with  the  exception of the  Japanese  Yen  foreign
exchange  agreement.   The change in value of  the  Japanese  Yen
foreign exchange agreement was marked to market as a component of
foreign  currency gain (loss) on the Consolidated  Statements  of
Earnings.   Since  these  agreements are  not  accounted  for  as
hedges, fluctuations in the related currency exchange rates could
have a material impact on earnings in any given year.

          Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

At  December  31,  2009,  Seaboard had trading  foreign  exchange
contracts  to  cover its firm sales and purchase commitments  and
related  trade receivables and payables with notional amounts  of
$193,379,000 primarily related to the South African Rand and  the
Euro.   At  December 31, 2009, Seaboard did not have any  trading
foreign  exchange  contracts to cover  various  foreign  currency
working capital needs related to the South African Rand.

At  December  31,  2008,  Seaboard had trading  foreign  exchange
contracts (receive $U.S./pay South African Rand (ZAR))  to  cover
its  firm  sales commitments and trade receivables with  notional
amounts of $77,343,000 with a fair value of $1,817,000,  included
in  other accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance  Sheet.
At  December  31,  2008,  Seaboard had trading  foreign  exchange
contracts  (receive  $U.S./pay  ZAR)  to  cover  various  foreign
currency   working   capital  needs  for  notional   amounts   of
$28,490,000, with fair values of $(114,000).

At  December  31,  2008,  Seaboard had trading  foreign  exchange
contracts  (receive  $U.S./pay Euro)  to  cover  its  firm  sales
commitments  and  trade receivables with  a  notional  amount  of
$43,076,000, with fair values of $(2,367,000),  included in other
accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

At  December  31,  2008,  Seaboard had trading  foreign  exchange
contracts  (pay  $U.S./receive Canadian  Dollars)  to  cover  its
purchase commitments and trade payables with a notional amount of
$105,000 with fair values of $6,000.

At  December  31,  2008,  Seaboard had trading  foreign  exchange
contracts (receive Japanese Yen/pay $U.S.) to cover note  payable
borrowings  for  a  term note denominated  in  Japanese  Yen  for
notional amounts of $58,781,000, with  fair values of $1,017,000.

Forward Freight Agreements

The  Commodity  Trading and Milling segment enters  into  certain
forward  freight agreements, viewed as taking long  positions  in
the freight market as well as covering short freight sales, which
may  or  may  not result in actual losses when future trades  are
executed.  These forward freight agreements, which expired in the
fourth  quarter of 2009, are not accounted for as hedges but  are
viewed  by  management as an economic hedge against the potential
of  future  rising  charter hire rates to  be  incurred  by  this
segment for bulk cargo shipping while conducting its business  of
delivering  grains to customers in many international  locations.
At  December 31, 2009, there were no outstanding forward  freight
agreements.  At December 31, 2008, Seaboard had agreements to pay
$41,500 and receive $47,750 per day during 2009 with fair  values
of  $(11,636,000)  and $13,917,000, respectively,  included  with
other  accrued  liabilities  and  other  current  assets  on  the
Consolidated  Balance  Sheet.  Since  these  agreements  are  not
accounted  for  as hedges, the change in value related  to  these
agreements  is  recorded  in  cost  of  sales-products   on   the
Consolidated  Statement of Earnings.  Forward freight  agreements
had  no net exposure to a change in market price as the two  open
forward  freight  agreements offset each other  at  December  31,
2008.   As  of  December 31, 2009, there were no such  agreements
outstanding.

Interest Rate Exchange Agreements

In  December 2008 and again in March 2009, Seaboard entered  into
ten-year  interest  rate exchange agreements which  involves  the
exchange  of fixed-rate and variable-rate interest payments  over
the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying
notional  amounts  to  mitigate the effects  of  fluctuations  in
interest rates on variable rate debt.  Seaboard agreed to  pay  a
fixed  rate  and  receive  a variable rate  of  interest  on  two
notional  amounts  of $25,000,000 each.  In June  2009,  Seaboard
terminated  both interest rate exchange agreements with  a  total
notional value of $50,000,000.  Seaboard received payments in the
amount  of  $3,981,000  to unwind these agreements.  Since  these
interest  rate  exchange agreements were  not  accounted  for  as
hedges,  the  change  in value related to these  agreements  were
recorded  in  Miscellaneous,  net in the  Condensed  Consolidated
Statements of Earnings.  As of December 31, 2009, there  were  no
such agreements outstanding.

Counterparty Credit Risk

Seaboard  is subject to counterparty credit risk related  to  its
foreign   currency  exchange  agreements  and   forward   freight
agreements.  The maximum amount of loss due to the credit risk of
the    counterparties   for   these   agreements,   should    the
counterparties  fail to perform according to  the  terms  of  the
contracts,  is  $430,000  as of December  31,  2009.   Seaboard's
foreign  currency  exchange agreements have a maximum  amount  of
loss  due  to credit risk in the amount of $430,000 with  several
counterparties.  Seaboard does not hold any collateral related to
these agreements.

Note 10

Employee Benefits

Seaboard maintains a defined benefit pension plan (the Plan)  for
its domestic salaried and clerical employees.  The Plan generally
provides eligibility for participation after one year of  service
upon  attaining the age of 21.  Benefits are generally based upon
the  number of years of service and a percentage of final average
pay.

Seaboard has historically based pension contributions on  minimum
funding   standards  to  avoid  the  Pension   Benefit   Guaranty
Corporation  variable rate premiums established by  the  Employee
Retirement  Income  Security Act of 1974.   However,  because  of
Seaboard's positive liquidity position for the past three  years,
management  authorized additional contributions to be  made.   In
April   2007,   Seaboard  made  a  deductible   contribution   of
$10,000,000 for the 2006 plan year, which resulted in a  slightly
overfunded status in the Plan as of December 31, 2007.   In  July
2009, Seaboard made a deductible contribution of $14,615,000  for
the  2008  plan  year  as a result of the significant  investment
losses  incurred in the Plan during the fourth quarter  of  2008.
Management    anticipates   making   an   additional   deductible
contribution  to  the  Plan currently  estimated  to  be  between
$8,000,000 and $15,000,000 for the 2009 and 2010 plan years.

In  December 2008, the FASB issued ASC Topic 715-20-65  (formerly
FSP  FAS  132(R)-1, "Employers' Disclosures about  Postretirement
Benefit   Plan  Assets,"  amending  FASB  Statement  No.  132(R),
"Employers'  Disclosures about Pensions and Other  Postretirement
Benefits").    This  Topic  required  more  detailed  disclosures
regarding   defined   benefit  pension  plan  assets,   including
investment  policies  and strategies, major  categories  of  plan
assets,  valuation techniques used to measure the fair  value  of
plan  assets  and significant concentration of risk  within  plan
assets.  Seaboard adopted these new disclosure requirements as of
December  31, 2009.  The adoption of this Topic did not  have  an
impact on Seaboard's financial position or net earnings.

Assets  are invested in the Plan to achieve a diversified overall
portfolio consisting primarily of individual stocks, money market
funds,  collective  investment funds,  bonds  and  mutual  funds.
Seaboard  is  willing  to  accept a moderate  level  of  risk  to
potentially  achieve  higher  investment  returns.   The  overall
portfolio is evaluated relative to customized benchmarks, and  is
expected  to  exceed  the  customized benchmark  over  five  year
rolling  periods  and longer.  The investment  strategy  provides
investment  managers' discretion and is periodically reviewed  by
management  for  continued  appropriateness.   Derivatives,  real
estate   investments,  non-marketable  and  private   equity   or
placement securities are not allowed investments under the  Plan.
Seaboard's   asset  allocation  targets  and  actual   investment
composition within the Plan were as follows:

As  described in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements,
ASC  Topic  820 utilizes a fair value hierarchy that  prioritizes
the  inputs  to valuation techniques used to measure  fair  value
into  three  broad levels.  The following table  shows  the  Plan
assets  measured at estimated fair value as of December 31,  2009
and  also  the  level  within the fair value  hierarchy  used  to
measure each category of assets.

Seaboard   also  sponsors  non-qualified,  unfunded  supplemental
executive   plans  and  has  certain  individual,  non-qualified,
unfunded  supplemental retirement agreements for certain  retired
employees.  The unamortized prior service cost is being amortized
over  the  average  remaining  working  lifetime  of  the  active
participants for this plan.  Management has no plans  to  provide
funding for these supplemental executive plans in advance of when
the benefits are paid.

Assumptions used in determining pension information for the plans
were:

Management  selected  the discount rate based  on  a  model-based
result where the timing and amount of cash flows approximates the
estimated payouts.  The expected return on Plan assets assumption
is  based on the weighted average of asset class expected returns
that  are  consistent with historical returns.  The assumed  rate
selected was based on model-based results that reflect the Plan's
asset  allocation and related long-term projected  returns.   The
measurement  date for all plans is December 31.  The unrecognized
net  actuarial  losses are generally amortized over  the  average
remaining  working lifetime of the active participants for  these
plans.

and  for  the  other  plans was $45,381,000  and  $38,593,000  at

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The  accumulated unrecognized losses for 2008 in the Plan  as  of
December  31,  2008  exceeded  the  10%  deferral  threshold   as
permitted  under  U.S.  GAAP  as  a  result  of  the  significant
investment  losses incurred during 2008.  Accordingly, Seaboard's
pension   expense   for  the  Plan  increased  by   approximately
$3,140,000  for  2009 as compared to 2008 as  a  result  of  loss
amortization.   In  addition,  pension  expense  for   the   Plan
increased an additional $1,725,000 for 2009 as compared  to  2008
as  a  result  of  reduced expected return on  assets,  from  the
decline  of assets in the Plan during 2008, partially  offset  by
approximately  $457,000  in  expected  earnings  from  the   2009
contribution  discussed  above.   Effective  January   1,   2010,
Seaboard  split a portion of employees from the Plan into  a  new
defined  benefit pension.  However, the split did not change  the
employees  benefit  and  thus  pension  expense  should  not   be
materially impacted.

The  late  Mr.  H.  H.  Bresky retired as President  and  CEO  of
Seaboard  effective July 6, 2006.  As a result  of  Mr.  Bresky's
retirement,  he was entitled to a lump sum payment of  $8,709,000
from   Seaboard's   Executive   Retirement   Plan.    Under   IRS
regulations,  there is a six month delay of benefit payments  for
key employees and thus Mr. Bresky was not paid his lump sum until
February  2007.   This  lump sum payment exceeded  the  Company's
service  and  interest cost components under this plan  and  thus
required Seaboard to recognize a portion of its actuarial losses.
However,  Seaboard was not relieved of its obligation  until  the
settlement was paid in 2007.  Accordingly, the settlement loss of
$3,671,000  was not recognized until February 2007 in  accordance
with  ASC  Topic 715 (formerly FAS No. 88, "Employers  Accounting

The amounts in AOCI expected to be recognized as components of
net periodic benefit cost in 2010 are as follows:

(Thousands of dollars)                                      2010

Accumulated loss, net of gain                             $ 3,128

Seaboard  participates in a multi-employer  pension  fund,  which
covers  certain  union  employees under a  collective  bargaining
agreement.   Seaboard is required to make contributions  to  this
plan  in  amounts  established under  the  collective  bargaining
agreement.   Contribution  expense for this  plan  was  $509,000,
$498,000,  and  $453,000 for the years ended December  31,  2009,
2008 and 2007, respectively.  The applicable portion of the total
plan  benefits  and  net assets of this plan  is  not  separately
identifiable  although Seaboard has received notice  the  pension
fund   was   under   funded.   Seaboard  could,   under   certain
circumstances,  be liable for unfunded vested benefits  or  other
expenses  of this jointly administered union plan.  Seaboard  has
not  established any liabilities for potential future  withdrawal
as such withdrawal from this plan is not probable.

Seaboard maintains a defined contribution plan covering  most  of
its   domestic   salaried  and  clerical   employees.    Seaboard
contributes  to  this plan an amount equal to  100%  of  employee
contributions  up  to  a maximum of 3% of employee  compensation.
Employee  vesting is based upon years of service with 20%  vested
after one year of service and an additional 20% vesting with each
additional  complete year of service.  Contribution  expense  for
this  plan  was  $1,868,000, $1,812,000, and $1,709,000  for  the
years  ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.   In
addition, Seaboard maintains a defined contribution plan covering
most   of   its  hourly,  non-union  employees  and  two  defined
contribution   plans   covering  most   of   Daily's   employees.
Contribution expense for these plans was $1,378,000,  $1,038,000,
and  $893,000  for the years ended December 31,  2009,  2008  and
2007, respectively.

Beginning  in  2006, Seaboard established a deferred compensation
plan  which allows certain employees to reduce their compensation
in exchange for values in four investments.  Seaboard also has an
Investment Option Plan which allowed certain employees to  reduce
their compensation in exchange for an option to acquire interests
measured by reference to three investments.  However, as a result
of   U.S.   tax   legislation  passed  in  2004,  reductions   to
compensation  earned after 2004 are no longer allowed  under  the
Investment  Option Plan.  The exercise price for each  investment
option  was established based upon the fair market value  of  the
underlying  investment on the date of grant.  Under  both  plans,
Seaboard  contributes  3% of the employees reduced  compensation.
Seaboard's  expense (income) for these two deferred  compensation
plans, which primarily includes amounts related to the change  in
fair value of the underlying investment accounts, was $4,340,000,
$(9,539,000)    and    $2,298,000    for    the    years    ended

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December  31,  2009,  2008 and 2007, respectively.   Included  in
other  liabilities at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are  $22,430,000
and  $15,930,000, respectively, representing the market value  of
the  payable  to the employees upon distribution or exercise  for
each  plan.  In conjunction with these plans, Seaboard  purchased
the   specified   number  of  units  of  the  employee-designated
investment  plus the applicable option price for  the  Investment
Option Plan.  These investments are treated as trading securities
and  are stated at their fair market values.  Accordingly, as  of
December   31,   2009  and  2008,  $26,729,000  and  $22,225,000,
respectively,  were  included  in other  current  assets  on  the
Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Investment income (loss) related to
the  mark-to-market of these investments for 2009, 2008, and 2007
totaled $4,253,000, $(9,618,000) and $2,183,000, respectively.

Note 11

Commitments and Contingencies

In  July 2009, Seaboard Corporation, and affiliated companies  in
its  Commodity  Trading and Milling segment, resolved  a  dispute
with  a  third  party related to a 2005 transaction  in  which  a
portion  of  its  trading operations was sold to a  firm  located
abroad.  As  a  result of this action, Seaboard Overseas  Limited
received approximately $16,787,000, net of expenses, in the third
quarter of 2009.  There was no tax expense on this transaction.

Seaboard is subject to various legal proceedings related  to  the
normal  conduct of its business, including various  environmental
related  actions.  In the opinion of management,  none  of  these
actions  is  expected to result in a judgment having a materially
adverse  effect  on  the  consolidated  financial  statements  of
Seaboard.

Contingent Obligations

Certain  of  the  non-consolidated  affiliates  and  third  party
contractors  who  perform services for Seaboard  have  bank  debt
supporting  their  underlying operations.   From  time  to  time,
Seaboard  will provide guarantees of that debt allowing  a  lower
borrowing rate or facilitating third party financing in order  to
further  business objectives.  Seaboard does not issue guarantees
of  third  parties  for compensation.  As of December  31,  2009,
Seaboard had guarantees outstanding to two third parties  with  a
total maximum exposure of $1,354,000.  Seaboard has not accrued a
liability  for any of the third party or affiliate guarantees  as
management considers the likelihood of loss to be remote.

As  of  December  31, 2009, Seaboard had outstanding  letters  of
credit  (LCs)  with  various banks which  reduced  its  borrowing
capacity under its committed and uncommitted credit facilities as
discussed  in Note 8 by $41,720,000 and $3,780,000, respectively.
Included  in  these  amount are LCs totaling  $26,385,000,  which
support  the IDRBs included as long-term debt and $16,802,000  of
LCs related to insurance coverage.

Commitments

As  of  December 31, 2009 Seaboard had various firm noncancelable
purchase  commitments  and commitments  under  other  agreements,
arrangements  and  operating leases as  described  in  the  table
below.

        Notes to Consolidated Fianancial Statements

Seaboard  has contracted with third parties for the  purchase  of
live hogs to process at its pork processing plant and has entered
into grain and feed ingredient purchase contracts to support  its
live  hog  operations.  The commitment amounts  included  in  the
table   are   based   on   projected   market   prices   as    of
December 31, 2009.  During 2009, 2008 and 2007, this segment paid
$163,047,000,  $155,400,000  and $131,490,000,  respectively  for
live hogs purchased under committed contracts.

The  Commodity  Trading  and Milling segment  enters  into  grain
purchase  contracts  and  ocean freight contracts,  primarily  to
support firm sales commitments.  These contracts are valued based
on  projected  commodity prices as of December  31,  2009.   This
segment  also  has  short-term freight  contracts  in  place  for
delivery of future grain sales.

The  Marine segment enters into contracts to time-charter vessels
for use in its operations.  These contracts range from short-term
time-charters for a few months and long-term commitments  ranging
from  one  to three years.  This segment's charter hire  expenses
during 2009, 2008 and 2007 totaled $82,728,000, $115,877,000  and
$88,761,000, respectively.

To  support  the  operations of the Pork  segment,  Seaboard  has
contract  grower  finishing agreements in place with  farmers  to
raise  a  portion  of  Seaboard's hogs  according  to  Seaboard's
specifications  under  long-term service agreements.   Under  the
terms of the agreements, additional payments would be required if
the  grower achieves certain performance standards.  The contract
grower  finishing  obligations shown above do not  reflect  these
incentive  payments  which, given current operating  performance,
total approximately $1,500,000 per year.  In the event the farmer
is  unable  to perform at an acceptable level, Seaboard  has  the
right  to  terminate the contract.  During the years ended  2009,
2008  and  2007,  Seaboard  paid  $13,703,000,  $13,389,000   and
$13,280,000,   respectively,  under  contract  grower   finishing
agreements.

Seaboard  also  leases  various facilities  and  equipment  under
noncancelable  operating lease agreements  including  a  terminal
operations  agreement  at the Port of Miami  which  runs  through
2028.    Rental   expense  for  operating  leases   amounted   to
$26,404,000, $23,147,000 and $20,174,000 in 2009, 2008 and  2007,
respectively.

Stockholders' Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

On  August 7, 2007, the Board of Directors authorized Seaboard to
repurchase  from  time to time prior to August  31,  2009  up  to
$50,000,000  market value of its Common Stock in open  market  or
privately  negotiated  purchases, of which  $11,129,000  remained
available upon expiration on August 31, 2009.

On  November 6, 2009, the Board of Directors authorized  Seaboard
to  repurchase from time to time prior to October 31, 2011 up  to
$100  million market value of its Common Stock in open market  or
privately  negotiated purchases which may be above or  below  the
traded  market price.  Such purchases may be made by Seaboard  or
Seaboard  may  from  time  to  time  enter  into  a  10b5-1  plan
authorizing  a third party to make such purchases  on  behalf  of
Seaboard.  The stock repurchase will be funded by cash  on  hand.
Any  shares  repurchased will be retired  and  shall  resume  the
status  of authorized and unissued shares.  Any stock repurchases
will be made in compliance with applicable legal requirements and
the  timing  of the repurchases and the number of  shares  to  be
repurchased  at  any given time may depend on market  conditions,
Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and other factors.
The  Board's  stock  repurchase authorization does  not  obligate
Seaboard  to  acquire a specific amount of common stock  and  the
stock  repurchase  program  may  be  suspended  at  any  time  at
Seaboard's discretion.

Seaboard used cash to repurchase 3,668 shares of common stock  at
a total price of $3,370,000 in 2009, 3,852 shares of common stock
at  a  total  price  of $5,012,000 in 2008 and 17,089  shares  of
common stock at a total price of $30,488,000 in 2007.

          Notes to Conolidated Financial Statements


The  components of accumulated other comprehensive loss,  net  of
related taxes, are summarized as follows:



                                                    Years ended December 31,
(Thousands of dollars)                            2009        2008       2007

Cumulative foreign currency translation
  adjustment                                  $ (77,576)  $ (68,211)  $(58,719)
Unrealized gain on investments                    2,579       1,781      1,149
Unrecognized pension cost                       (39,789)    (45,273)   (21,081)

        Accumulated other comprehensive loss  $(114,786)  $(111,703)  $(78,651)

The  foreign currency translation adjustment primarily represents
the effect of the Argentine peso currency exchange fluctuation on
the  net  assets  of  the  Sugar  segment.   When  the  Argentine
government lifted the one to one parity of the peso to  the  U.S.
dollar  at  the  end  of  2001, the peso lost  significant  value
against the dollar.  At December 31, 2009, the Sugar segment  had
$170,061,000  in  net assets denominated in Argentine  pesos  and
$46,644,000  in  net liabilities denominated in U.S.  dollars  in
Argentina.

With  the  exception  of  the provision related  to  the  foreign
currency translation gains and losses discussed above, which  are
taxed  at  a 35% rate, income taxes for components of accumulated
other comprehensive loss were recorded using a 39% effective  tax
rate.   For 2009 and 2008, the unrecognized pension cost includes
$12,740,000  and $15,721,000, respectively, related to  employees
at  certain  subsidiaries  for which  no  tax  benefit  has  been
recorded.

Stockholders  approved  an amendment to decrease  the  number  of
authorized  shares  of  common stock  from  4,000,000  shares  to
1,250,000 shares at the annual meeting on April 27, 2009.

Note 13

Segment Information

Seaboard   Corporation  had  five  reportable  segments   through
December  31, 2009: Pork, Commodity Trading and Milling,  Marine,
Sugar,  and  Power, each offering a specific product or  service.
Seaboard's  reporting segments are based on information  used  by
Seaboard's  Chief  Executive Officer in  his  capacity  as  chief
operating decision maker to determine allocation of resources and
assess performance.  Each of the five main segments is separately
managed and each was started or acquired independent of the other
segments.   The Pork segment produces and sells fresh and  frozen
pork  products  to  further  processors,  foodservice  operators,
grocery  stores, distributors and retail outlets  throughout  the
United  States,  and to Japan, Mexico and certain  other  foreign
markets.     The   Commodity   Trading   and   Milling    segment
internationally markets wheat, corn, soybean meal, rice and other
similar commodities in bulk to third party customers and to  non-
consolidated  foreign  affiliates.  This  segment  also  operates
flour,  maize  and feed mills in foreign countries.   The  Marine
segment,  based  in Miami, Florida, provides containerized  cargo
shipping services between the United States, the Caribbean Basin,
and  Central  and South America.  The Sugar segment produces  and
processes sugar and alcohol in Argentina primarily to be marketed
locally.    The   Power  segment  operates  as   an   unregulated
independent  power producer in the Dominican Republic  generating
power  from  a  system of diesel engines mounted on  two  barges.
Revenues for the All Other segment are primarily derived from the
jalapeno pepper processing operations.

The  Pork  segment  derives  approximately  12%  percent  of  its
revenues  from  a  few  customers in  Japan  through  one  agent.
Substantially  all  of  its  hourly  employees  at   its   Guymon
processing   plant   are  covered  by  a  collective   bargaining
agreement.   The  Pork segment incurred an impairment  charge  of
$7,000,000  related  to  the Daily's trade  name  in  the  fourth
quarter of 2008 (see Note 2 for further discussion). In addition,
as of December 31, 2009, the Pork segment had fixed assets with a
net book value of $43,162,000 related to its biodiesel processing
plant  which  began  operations during  2008.   See  Note  6  for
discussion of the potential for future impairment of these  fixed
assets.

Prior  to the first quarter of 2009, the Sugar segment was  named
Sugar   and  Citrus  reflecting  the  citrus  and  related  juice
operations of this business.  During the first quarter  of  2009,
management reviewed its strategic options for the citrus business
in  light  of a continually difficult operating environment.   In
March  2009, management decided not to process, package or market
the 2009 harvest for the citrus and related juice operations.  As
a  result, during the first quarter of 2009, a charge to earnings
primarily  in cost of sales of $2,803,000 was recorded  primarily
to  write-down

<PAGE> 55

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

the    value    of   related   citrus   and   juice   inventories
to  net  realizable  value, considering such remaining  inventory
will   not  be  marketed  similar  to  prior  years  but  instead
liquidated.  In the second quarter of 2009, management decided to
integrate  and  transform  the land previously  used  for  citrus
production  into  sugar  cane production  and  thus  incurred  an
additional  charge  to earnings primarily in  cost  of  sales  of
approximately  $2,497,000 during the second quarter  of  2009  in
connection  with  this change in business.  The  remaining  fixed
assets  from  the  citrus  operations,  primarily  buildings  and
equipment,  have either been sold under long-term  agreements  or
integrated  into  the sugar business.  However, since  such  sale
agreements are long-term and collectibility of the sales price is
not  reasonably assured, the sale is being recognized  under  the
cost  recovery  method and thus the gain on sale,  which  is  not
material, will not be recognized until proceeds collected  exceed
the net book value of the assets sold.

The Power segment sells approximately 34% of its power generation
to  a  government-owned distribution company under  a  short-term
contract that expires at the end of March 2010 for which Seaboard
bears  a concentrated credit risk as this customer, from time  to
time,  has significant past due balances.  In May 2009,  Seaboard
received  sovereign  government bonds of the  Dominican  Republic
with a par value of $20,000,000 denominated in U.S. dollars, with
an  8%  tax  free  coupon rate, to satisfy  the  same  amount  of
outstanding  billings  from  this  customer  that  Seaboard   had
classified  as  long-term.  During the fourth  quarter  of  2009,
Seaboard  sold  a  portion  of these  bonds  with  par  value  of
$9,700,000  resulting  in  an  immaterial  loss.   The  remaining
$10,300,000  par value of bonds are classified as  available-for-
sale short term investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheet  as
of December 31, 2009.  During January and February 2010, Seaboard
sold the remaining bonds resulting in an immaterial loss.

On  March  2,  2009,  an agreement became effective  under  which
Seaboard will sell its two power barges in the Dominican Republic
for $70,000,000, which will use such barges for private use.  The
agreement  calls  for the sale to occur on or around  January  1,
2011.   During  March  2009, $15,000,000  was  paid  to  Seaboard
(recorded  as  long-term deferred revenue)  and  the  $55,000,000
balance  of the purchase price was paid into escrow and  will  be
paid  to Seaboard at the closing of the sale. The net book  value
of  the two barges was $20,090,000 as of December 31, 2009 and is
classified  as  held  for  sale  in  non-current  other   assets.
Accordingly, Seaboard will cease depreciation on January 1,  2010
for  these  two barges but continue to operate these  two  barges
until  a  few  weeks  prior  to the closing  date  of  the  sale.
Seaboard   will   be   responsible  for   the   wind   down   and
decommissioning costs of the barges.  Completion of the  sale  is
dependent upon several issues, including meeting certain baseline
performance and emission tests.  Failure to satisfy or  cure  any
deficiencies  could result in the agreement being terminated  and
the  sale  abandoned.   Seaboard  could  be  responsible  to  pay
liquidated damages of up to approximately $15,000,000  should  it
fail  to  perform  its  obligations under  the  agreement,  after
expiration  of applicable cure and grace periods.  Seaboard  will
retain  all  other physical properties of this  business  and  is
considering  options  to  continue  its  power  business  in  the
Dominican Republic after the sale of these assets is completed.

The  loss  from  foreign affiliate in 2007 for  the  "All  Other"
segment  reflects  Seaboard's share of  losses  from  its  equity
method  investment in a Bulgarian wine business  (the  Business).
There  was no remaining book value as of December 31,  2007.   In
June  2008, Seaboard received $1,078,000 from another shareholder
of the Business in exchange for the assignment by Seaboard to the
shareholder  of  all  rights  to Seaboard's  previous  loans  and
advances to the Business.  The proceeds of this transaction  were
recorded  in Other Investment Income.  In February 2009, Seaboard
sold  all  of  its shares in this Business.  See Note  5  to  the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

The  following  tables  set forth specific financial  information
about  each segment as reviewed by management.  Operating  income
for  segment reporting is prepared on the same basis as that used
for  consolidated operating income.  Operating income, along with
income  from  foreign  affiliates for the Commodity  Trading  and
Milling  segment,  is used as the measure of  evaluating  segment
performance  because  management does not consider  interest  and
income tax expense on a segment basis.

                            CERTIFICATIONS

I, Steven J. Bresky, certify that:

  1.  I  have  reviewed this annual report on Form  10-K  of  Seaboard
  Corporation;

  2.  Based  on my knowledge, this report does not contain any  untrue
  statement  of  a  material fact or omit to  state  a  material  fact
  necessary   to   make  the  statements  made,  in   light   of   the
  circumstances under which such statements were made, not  misleading
  with respect to the period covered by this report;

  3.  Based  on  my  knowledge, the financial  statements,  and  other
  financial  information included in this report,  fairly  present  in
  all   material   respects  the  financial  condition,   results   of
  operations  and  cash flows of the registrant as of,  and  for,  the
  periods presented in this report;

  4.   The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer(s)  and   I   are
  responsible  for  establishing and maintaining  disclosure  controls
  and  procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-
  15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined  in
  Exchange  Act  Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) for the registrant  and
  have:

     a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures,  or  caused
     such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under  our
     supervision, to ensure that material information relating to  the
     registrant,  including  its consolidated  subsidiaries,  is  made
     known  to us by others within those entities, particularly during
     the period in which this report is being prepared;

     b)  Designed  such internal control over financial reporting,  or
     caused  such  internal  control over financial  reporting  to  be
     designed  under our supervision, to provide reasonable  assurance
     regarding  the  reliability  of  financial  reporting   and   the
     preparation  of  financial statements for  external  purposes  in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

     c)  Evaluated  the  effectiveness of the registrant's  disclosure
     controls  and  procedures  and  presented  in  this  report   our
     conclusions  about  the effectiveness of the disclosure  controls
     and  procedures,  as  of the end of the period  covered  by  this
     report based on such evaluation; and

     d)  Disclosed  in  this  report any change  in  the  registrant's
     internal  control over financial reporting that  occurred  during
     the  registrant's  most recent fiscal quarter  (the  registrant's
     fourth  fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that  has
     materially  affected,  or  is  reasonably  likely  to  materially
     affect,   the   registrant's  internal  control  over   financial
     reporting; and

  5.   The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer(s)  and  I   have
  disclosed,  based on our most recent evaluation of internal  control
  over  financial  reporting,  to the registrant's  auditors  and  the
  audit  committee of the registrant's board of directors (or  persons
  performing the equivalent functions):

     a)  All  significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in  the
     design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting
     which  are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's
     ability  to  record,  process,  summarize  and  report  financial
     information; and

     b)  Any  fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
     or   other  employees  who  have  a  significant  role   in   the
     registrant's internal controls over financial reporting.
