U.S. trader Bunge to focus Russian grain operations on Azov Sea
U.S. trader Bunge said it would focus its Russian grain trading on its Azov Sea export terminal near the southern city of Rostov-on-Don in an effort to boost efficiency. Grain traders have struggled with rising competition in Russia, one of the world’s largest wheat exporters, in recent years, while their trading margins have also been squeezed. Bunge’s move highlights rising competition in deep-water ports in Russia’s part of the Black Sea, from which traders supply grain by large ships to customers such as Egypt, the world’s largest wheat importer. The shallow-water ports of the Azov Sea usually supply grain by smaller ships to customers like Turkey. “Concentrating operations on a company-owned shallow water port terminal could give the advantage of low costs for niche business,” one trader said. Bunge is the “B” of the so-called ABCDs of global grain trading, which also include rivals Archer Daniels Midland Co, Cargill Inc and Louis Dreyfus Co. http://www.hellenicshippingnews.com/u-s-trader-bunge-to-focus-russian-grain-operations-on-azov-sea/
