The agricultural commodity trading house said it would now pay $54-million from $25-million to resolve violating foreign bribery laws relating to grain and feed exports.

ADM has been trying to clear its name with the U.S. Justice Department since 2008, when it violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The company reported on its second quarterly profits Tuesday, which also said it raises the settlement offer "based upon recent progress in these discussions," the company statement read.
