Emerald acquires EP Grain
PORT LINCOLN, SOUTH AUSTRALIA — The shareholders of EP Grain announced on Sept. 24 that the Emerald Group has acquired 100% control of the company. EP Grain was founded in February 2008 to provide a greater choice of grain marketing services to grain growers located on the Eyre Peninsula region of South Australia. The company has been a joint venture between the Eyre Peninsula’s farmer-owned investment company, FREE Eyre Limited (FEL), and national grain marketer, Emerald Group Australia Pty Ltd (Emerald), during its four years of operation. With FEL having achieved its objective of creating grain marketing competition at the farm gate, it has decided to sell its share in EP Grain to Emerald. FEL will now focus its energy, capital and resources in creating other value adding and competition building opportunities for the region. These include up-country grain storage and handling, its nominated position as the “Grain Operator” in the proposed Port Spencer export terminal as well as fertilizer, fiber and energy related pursuits. Emerald will assume all of the existing management responsibilities of EP Grain and continue ongoing management of its grain pools and cash contracts. EP Grain will continue to offer its grain accumulation and marketing activities throughout the Eyre Peninsula region.

Bunge expands investment in Senwes
KLERKSDORP, SOUTH AFRICA — Bunge Limited, through Bunge EMEA (Bunge Europe, Middle East and Africa), and Senwes Ltd, announced on Sept. 17 that Bunge has exercised its option to acquire a 50% interest in the existing established African structures of Senwes. The option for further Bunge investment in Senwes was a provision of the original joint venture agreement between the two companies. The joint venture, which has successfully operated since Oct. 1, 2011, imports and exports maize and wheat in the region. The additional investment by Bunge reflects the company’s commitment to expand in Africa. The African structures of Senwes include Senwes Malawi, Senwes Zambia, Senwes Mozambique and Senwes Kenya, and will include Senwes Zimbabwe in the near future. All these entities are specialized in grain trading and storage and are part of Senwes’ strategy in Southern African Development Community (SADC) to create integrated grain marketing and trading house. The joint venture intends to further extend its actions in the remaining countries of the SADC. In addition, this development will consolidate the work which has been initiated and accomplished by Senwes to ensure food security in SADC.
