Moving on? Wilmar acquires sugar company in Shanghai

After failing to get the necessary support to purchase Proserpine Co-operative Sugar Milling Association, Wilmar acquired Yihai Kerry (Shanghai) Sugar Co Ltd.

A Wilmar announcement said that its indirect 78.4% owned subsidiary Wilmar Sugar Pte Ltd has acquired 100% equity interest in Yihai Kerry (Shanghai) Sugar Co Ltd for a total cash consideration of RMB8,009,807.14.

YKSS has a registered share capital of US$800,000, with trading in sugar as its principal activity.

Previously Wilmar’s Australian-based subsidiary Sucrogen was not able to acquire the assets of PCSMA after getting only 70% positive votes from PCSMA members.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
