Glencore Acquires Interest in a Deep Sea Russian Grain Export Terminal
Located close to Southern Russia’s main grain producing region
Glencore International plc, announces that it has, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into
a 50-50 joint venture agreement with Kernel Holding S.A. through which it has acquired an interest in a deep sea grain export terminal in Taman port, Russia from the EFKO Group.
Strategically located on Russia’s Black Sea coast, the port of Taman is in close proximity to Southern Russia’s main grain producing region. The grain export terminal has a throughput capacity of 3.0mio mt per annum and will enable Russian grain to be exported throughout the year. Not only will this increase the competitiveness of Russian grain on the world market, it will also enable Glencore to further meet the needs of its customers across EMEA.
