The Asian subsidiary for Canada’s biggest grain company has set up a new grains and oilseeds marketing office in Vietnam’s largest city.
“Our new office in Ho Chi Minh City is ideally located to facilitate further trade and service increasing demand in Vietnam, supported by local expertise and market intelligence,” Don Chapman, Viterra’s senior vice-president for international grain, said in a release Wednesday.
The office will focus on milling and feed wheat, malt barley, and oilseed proteins in forms such as soybean meal and canola meal, the company said.
