        Death of H. Harry Bresky, Chairman and Member of the Board


                                                             March 13, 2007

It  is with profound sadness that Seaboard Corporation (AMEX:SEB) announces
that H. Harry Bresky, Chairman and member of the Board, died March 11, 2007
in Boston. He was 81.

A native of Boston, Mr. Bresky was an undergraduate at Yale University when
his  studies  were  interrupted by service in World War II.  When  the  war
ended,  Mr.  Bresky joined the milling business established by  his  father
Otto  Bresky in 1921. Mr. Bresky was President and Chief Executive  Officer
of  Seaboard  from  1967  until his retirement in July  2006.  He  was  the
Chairman of the Board from 1973 until his death.

Under  his  leadership,  Seaboard was transformed  from  a  domestic  flour
milling company to an international agribusiness and transportation company
engaged   in   various   industries  including   pork   production,   ocean
transportation, commodity merchandising, grain processing, sugar production
and electric power generation.

The management and employees extend our deepest sympathy to Mr. Bresky's
family during this time of loss. We will miss his guidance and wisdom.

Seaboard  Corporation  is  a  diversified  international  agribusiness  and
transportation company. In the United States, Seaboard is primarily engaged
in  pork  production  and processing, and ocean transportation.   Overseas,
Seaboard is primarily engaged in commodity merchandising, grain processing,
sugar production and electric power generation.
