Agribusiness CHS jumped eight places on this year’s list thanks to strong global demand for grains and oilseeds, along with improved trade relations between the U.S. and foreign partners. The company reported a 35.4% increase in revenue in 2021, its best year-over-year gain since 2014. CHS faced trouble in early 2022, however, as the war in Ukraine sent shocks through global commodities markets, affecting the company’s bread-and-butter energy and agricultural products.
