"How things grow" by the parent of operating companies who purchased over $5 billion of American commidities last year. Ad Content: Good soil. The right weather. Long months of hard work. In the agricultural industry, you need them all.

But in the end, what you count on is a market. And we provide a significant one.

As the parent of Kraft Foods, Philip Morris International and Philip Morris USA, we are proud that our operating companies purchased over $5 billion of American commodities last year. Such as dairy products from Wisconsin and California for Kraft Natural Cheese. Grains from Illinois and Kansas for Post Cereals. Tobaccos from Kentucky and North Carolina for Marlboro and Virginia Slims. To name just a few.

Our operating companies make some of America's finest brands. To do so, they start by buying the finest agricultural products on earth. The ones made right here.

Because while our name might not mean much to you, it means everything to us.

Our name is Altria Group.
