Noble Group to expand in India and China

The company is exploring not only Asia but businesses like clean fuels and vegetable oils.

A Reuters report quoted Chief Executive Ricardo Leiman as saying, "We are not a one-country or one-region company. We are a global player. We are looking for additional opportunities in Asia as we progress."

He pointed out that despite economic challenges, there will be no shortage of demand for their products as long as the world income continues to grow.

The company is said to be awaiting approval from forest and environment authorities in India for a 10 million-tonne iron ore terminal that will be ready in 24 months once the clearance is obtained.

Meanwhile in China it has vegetable oil refining capability, and Noble is also doubling the capacity of its sunflower seed crushing plant in Ukraine.

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.
