“大胃王”中粮

A Giant COFCO

中粮注定备受世人瞩目，凶为宁高宁的加入。中粮的历史可以追溯到1952年，它是中国从事农产品和食品进出口贸易历史最悠久、实力最雄厚的企业，几十年一直是国家小麦、玉米、大米、食糖等大宗农产品贸易的主导者。中粮集团目前下设中粮粮油、中国粮油、中国食品、地产酒店、中国土畜、中粮屯河、中粮包装、中粮发展、金融等9大业务板块，

COFCO used to be a monopolistic,state-owned foodstuff import and export company. Its monopoly ended in 2004 when the country had to lift government controls on foodstuff import and export operations to fulfill its commitments to WTO. Thanks to the big profits that the company made in the past as a monopoly,COFCO has been able to complete a series of large mergers and acquisitions and expand its business in agriculture and food-processing,biomass energy production,real estate development and financial services.
