                               Press Release

 Seaboard Corporation Director and Former Executive Vice President Passes Away


Seaboard  Corporation  (NYSE MKT: SEB) announced today  that   Joseph  E.
Rodrigues,  a  long time Seaboard director and former executive  officer,
passed  away  Monday morning, surrounded by family at  his  home  in  Las
Vegas.   Seaboard's President and Chairman noted in a  statement  to  all
Seaboard employees: "Many of you had the good fortune of knowing Joe  and
you  know  what  a  remarkable man he was-in temperament,  intellect  and
spirit. I don't have the words to describe how well he lived his life and
how  kindly  he treated people. He was a wonderful business resource  for
all of us who worked with him and more importantly, as a friend, he was a
pillar we could lean on for his wisdom, his measured outlook on life  and
his amazing ability to make complicated issues so simple and clear."

Mr.  Rodrigues'  career with Seaboard began in 1980  when  he  served  as
Managing Director of Seaboard's flour milling operations in Nigeria.   In
1987  he  was  promoted to Executive Vice President and  Chief  Financial
Officer  of Seaboard, serving in this capacity until he retired in  2001.
He  had been a member of the Seaboard Board of Directors since 1990.  Mr.
Rodrigues  was  instrumental in the development and growth of  Seaboard's
significant overseas operations.

"Someone  once  said that when someone dies, it is as if  a  library  has
burned  down  in  that  all that knowledge and experience  is  no  longer
accessible. I can think of no better example of this than our dear friend
Joe  Rodrigues. He was such a kind, wise and thoughtful man. We have lost
one  of  the  great  ones,"  said Mr. Bresky  in  reminiscing  about  Mr.
Rodrigues.

Seaboard's  heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Isabel and  his  son
George,  his  extended family and his friends around the globe.  We  have
lost  a  business associate, a friend and a man who, through  his  life's
work, left this world a better place.
