Seaboard   Corporation  (AMEX:SEB)  today  announced  that  its   Pork
Division,  Seaboard Farms, Inc. has entered into a Marketing Agreement
with Triumph Foods LLC to market all of the pork products produced  by
Triumph  Foods at a new state-of-the-art pork processing plant Triumph
Foods  intends  to construct in St Joseph, Missouri.   The  processing
plant  is  being  designed to process 1,000 head per  hour,  which  is
approximately  the same capacity as Seaboard Farms'  existing  Guymon,
Oklahoma pork processing plant.  Triumph Foods' new plant will produce
a  full  line  of  fresh pork products for retail,  food  service  and
further  processing  customers.  Triumph Foods  anticipates  beginning
processing operations in mid to late 2005.  The effectiveness  of  the
Marketing Agreement is subject to a number of contingencies, including
Triumph Foods obtaining financing and construction of the plant.

Seaboard  Corporation is a diversified agribusiness and transportation
company  primarily engaged in domestic pork production and processing,
and  cargo  shipping.  Overseas,  Seaboard  is  primarily  engaged  in
commodity merchandising, flour and feed milling, sugar production  and
electric power generation.
