Exhibit 99.1

     Statement Under Oath of Principal Executive Officer
 Regarding Facts and Circumstances Relating to Exchange Act
                           Filings


I, H. Harry Bresky, Chairman of the Board, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Seaboard Corporation, state and
attest that:

     (1)  To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the
     covered reports of Seaboard Corporation, and, except as
     corrected or supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

          no covered report contained an untrue statement of a
          material fact as of the end of the period covered by such
          report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive
          proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed); and

          no covered report omitted to state a material fact
          necessary to make the statements in the covered report, in
          light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
          misleading as of the end of the period covered by such
          report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive
          proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed).

     (2)  I reviewed the contents of this statement with Seaboard
     Corporation's audit committee.

     (3)  In this statement under oath, each of the following, if
     filed on or before the date of this statement, is a "covered
     report":

          Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Year Ended December
          31, 2001 of Seaboard Corporation

          all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and
          all definitive proxy materials of Seaboard Corporation filed
          with the Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-
          K identified above; and

          any amendments to any of the foregoing


                                   Subscribed to and sworn to
                                   before me this 5th day of
/s/H. Harry Bresky                 August 2002.
