PART I

Item 1. Business

Seaboard Corporation, a Delaware corporation, the successor corporation
to a company first incorporated in 1928, and subsidiaries ("Registrant"), is

and animal feed production. See Item 1(c) (i) (ii) below for a discussion
of developments in specific segments.


(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments

The information required by Item 1 relating to Industry Segments is
hereby incorporated by reference to note 13 of Registrant's Consolidated
Financial Statements appearing on pages 50, 51 and 52 of the Registrant's

14a-3(b) and attached as Exhibit 13 to this Report.

Registrant operates an ocean liner service for containerized cargo
between Florida and ports in Central and South America and the Caribbean
Basin. Registrant also operates bulk carriers primarily in the Atlantic
Basin.

Registrant is engaged in Puerto Rico in the milling of flour and the
production and distribution of a full line of baked goods. These goods are
distributed directly within Puerto Rico and neighboring islands to food
service and retail outlets.

Registrant trades commodities, such as bulk grains and oil seeds,
primarily in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Atlantic Basin.

Registrant produces and processes produce and shrimp in Central and
South America, primarily for export to the U.S. and Europe. Registrant also
brokers fruits, vegetables and shrimp for independent growers. The majority
of these products are transported using the Registrant's shipping line and
distribution facility in Miami, Florida.

Registrant also produces polypropylene bags, operates power generating
facilities, operates flour and animal feed mills, and produces salmon.


The information required by Item 1 with respect to the amount or
percentage of total revenue contributed by any class of similar products or
services which account for 10% or more of consolidated revenue in any of the
last three fiscal years is hereby incorporated by reference to note 13 of
Registrant's Consolidated Financial Statements appearing on pages 50, 51 and
52 of the Registrant's Annual Report to Stockholders furnished to the
Commission pursuant to rule 14a-3(b) and attached as Exhibit 13 to this
report.


(ii) Status of Product or Segment

Registrant continues to expand its food production and processing
segment by further investing in poultry, and pork production and processing
facilities. The Registrant is currently constructing an integrated
hog production and processing operation in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas
and Colorado. These facilities will include hog farrowing, nursing and
finishing buildings, feed mills and a processing plant. The processing
plant, which began operating in December, 1995, will produce fresh and
processed pork to be marketed primarily in the Southwest United States and
for export.

Registrant ceased operations at its Albert Lea, Minnesota pork
processing plant in December 1995 when it leased the plant to a third party.

FORM 10-K

SEABOARD CORPORATION


(iii) Sources and Availability of Raw Materials


None of Registrant'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

Registrant uses two trademarks; Gold-n-Fresh and Easy Entrees for
retail sales of poultry products. Registrant uses two trademarks, Season
Sweet, Chestnut Hill Farms, and Cumars Best in marketing fresh fruits,
vegetables and shrimp in the United States. Registrant's Puerto Rican Baking
business uses three trademarks registered to a third party; Holsum, Country
Hearth and Olympic Kids ; under a licensing agreement.

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


(v) Seasonal Business

Profitability of the poultry operations is generally higher in the
summer months. Profits from processed pork are generally higher in the fall
months. Produce operations are seasonal, depending on the crop being grown.
Generally, crops which are exported to the United States are only in
production from November through May. The Registrant's other businesses are
not seasonally dependent.


(vi) Practices Relating to Working Capital Items

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

FORM 10-K

SEABOARD CORPORATION


(vii) Depending on a Single Customer or Few Customers

Registrant does not have sales to any one customer equal to 10% or more
of Registrant's consolidated revenues, nor sales to a few customers which,
if lost, would have a material adverse effect on any such segment or on
Registrant taken as a whole.


(viii) Backlog

Backlog is not material to Registrant's businesses.


(ix) Government Contracts

No material portion of Registrant's business involved government
contracts.


(x) Competitive Conditions

Competition in Registrant's food production and processing segment
comes from a variety of national and regional producers and is based
primarily on product performance, customer service and price. In the January
1996 issue of Broiler Industry, an industry trade publication, the Registrant
was ranked as the eighth largest poultry processor in the United States based
on average weekly production of ready-to-cook chicken. In the October 1995
issue of Successful Farming, an industry trade publication, the Registrant
was ranked in the top ten pork producers in the United States based on sows
in production. Registrant's Puerto Rican baking business is the largest
bakery in Puerto Rico. Competition, based on price and product performance,
comes primarily from imported baked goods in the cookie and donut lines, and
from one Puerto Rican sliced bread baker.

Registrant believes it is among the top five ranking ocean liner
services for containerized cargoes in the Caribbean Basin. During the
fourth quarter of 1995, competition based on price and consumer service
increased significantly in certain markets served by the Registrant.

SEABOARD CORPORATION



(xi) Research and Development Activities

Registrant does not engage in material research and development
activities.


(xii) Environmental Compliance

Registrant believes that it is in substantial compliance with applicable
Federal, state and local provisions relating to environmental protection, and
no significant capital expenditures are contemplated in this area.


(xiii) Number of Persons Employed by Registrant

As of December 31, 1995, Registrant had 11,699 employees, of whom 7,809
were employed in the United States (including Puerto Rico).


(d) Financial Information about Foreign and Domestic Operations and
Export Sales

The financial information required by Item 1 relating to export sales
is hereby incorporated by reference to note 13 of Registrant's Consolidated
Financial Statements appearing on pages 50, 51 and 52 of Registrant's Annual
Report to Stockholders furnished to the Commission pursuant to Rule 14a-3(b)
and attached as Exhibit 13 to this report. Foreign sales, including sales
to non-consolidated foreign subsidiaries, represent less than 10% of
Registrant's consolidated revenue. Registrant did not have a material amount
of sales or transfers between geographic areas for the periods reported on
herein.

Registrant considers its relations with the governments of the
countries in which its foreign subsidiaries are located to be satisfactory,
but these foreign operations are subject to the normal risks of doing
business abroad, including expropriation, confiscation, currency
inconvertibility and devaluation, and currency exchange controls. To
minimize these risks, Registrant has insured certain investments in and
loans to its flour mill and shrimp farm in Ecuador and its flour mill in
Zaire to the extent deemed appropriate against certain of these risks with
the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, an agency of the United States
Government.

Item 2. Properties

The Registrant currently has production and distribution facilities
in the following states: Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Kansas,
Kentucky, Maine, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina,
Tennessee and Texas. Additionally, the Registrant has wholly or partially
owned facilities in Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic,
Ecuador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Nigeria, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico,
Sierra Leone, Venezuela and Zaire.

(1) Food Production and Processing

The principal poultry operations of the Registrant consists of five
processing plants. These plants are devoted to various phases of
slaughtering, dressing, cutting, packing, deboning or further-processing
chickens. The total slaughter capacity is approximately 218 million head
per year. To support these facilities, the Registrant operates four feed
mills, four hatcheries and a network of 725 contract growers that supply
pullet, breeder and broiler farms. These facilities are located in Alabama,
Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee.

The construction in Oklahoma of a hog processing plant with a double
shift capacity of four million hogs per year was completed in December,
1995. Registrant expects single shift capacity to be reached in the third
quarter of 1996. Hog production facilities currently consist of a
combination of owned and leased farrowing, nursery and finishing units to
support 77,000 sows. Registrant owns two feed mills and is constructing
a third which will have combined capacity to produce 840 thousand tons of
feed annually to support the hog production. These facilities are located in
Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Colorado.

The Registrant owns in whole or in part six flour mills with capacity
to produce 46,700 cwts of bakery flour and mill feed per day. In addition,
Registrant has feed mill capacity of 35 tons per hour to produce formula
animal feed. The flour mills, located in Puerto Rico, Guyana, Ecuador,
Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Zaire and the feed mills located in Ecuador,
Nigeria and Zaire are owned in fee except for a flour mill in Sierra Leone
which is on land which the Government of Sierra Leone has agreed to lease
for a remaining term of 18 years, and a Nigerian flour and feed mill
with a remaining lease term of 79 years and renewal option of 75 years.

The Registrant owns two bakeries in Puerto Rico.

The Registrant operates approximately 3,100 acres of shrimp ponds in
Honduras and Ecuador. Approximately 2,400 acres are leased for a nineteen
year term and the rest are owned.

(2) Transportation

Registrant leases a 166,400 square foot warehouse, office space and
port terminal land and facilities in Florida which are used in its
containerized cargo operations.

The Registrant owns six 9,000 metric-ton deadweight dry bulk carriers
and seven containerized ocean cargo vessels with deadweights ranging from
949 to 12,648 metric-tons. In addition, Registrant timecharters, under
short-term agreements, between twelve and fifteen containerized ocean cargo
vessels with deadweights ranging from 2,488 to 9,200 metric-tons.

FORM 10-K

SEABOARD CORPORATION


(3) Other

Registrant owns a floating power generating facility, capable of
producing 40 megawatts of power, located in the Port of Rio Haino in Santo
Domingo, Dominican Republic. Registrant manages a second power generating
facility capable of producing 17.5 megawatts of power also located in the
Dominican Republic.

Management believes that the Registrant's present facilities are
generally adequate and suitable for its current purposes. In general,
facilities are fully utilized; however, seasonal fluctuations in inventories
and production may occur as a reaction to market demands for certain products.
Certain foreign flour mills may operate at less than full capacity due to
unavailability of foreign exchange to pay for imported raw materials.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to legal proceedings related to the normal
conduct of its business. In the opinion of management, none of these actions
are expected to result in a final judgement having a materially adverse effect
on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.


Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matter was submitted during the last quarter of the fiscal year
covered by this report to a vote of security holders.

significant employees of Registrant. Generally, each executive officer is

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Seaboard Corporation:


Under date of March 1, 1996, we reported on the consolidated balance sheets
of Seaboard Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994
and the consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995,
as contained in the December 31, 1995 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,
1995. In connection with our audits of the aforementioned consolidated
financial statements, we also audited the 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.

Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," in 1994 and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
