    China buys majority stake in Nidera as part of its investment in food assets

    Nidera CEO Ton van der Laan said they were looking for a strong partner in China and the rest of Asia to expand.

    China's State-owned Chinese food giant Cofco Corp. on Friday announced it was buying a 51% stake in closely held grains trader Nidera NV. By investing in Dutch Nidera, Cofco--China's largest stated-owned grain trader-- would have greater control over pricing as well as better access to major grain-growing regions, such as Latin America and Russia.
