Grains Strengths in China<\/h2>\n

LDC started selling grains to China in 1974 and has been an active supplier ever since.<\/p>\n

Leveraging our global presence, we have established strategic partnerships with major domestic feed mills, starch and ethanol producers, wheat flour mills and local trading houses, and offer insights into product prices from global origins to major Chinese importers.<\/p>\n

We are growing our business with a flexible model that relies on our market, cash trading and management expertise to ensure reliable delivery and value-added service across our value chain – from origination and storage to distribution and marketing.<\/p>\n
