On November 6, the second day of the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE), Xiamen C&D Inc. (600153.SH) announced another milestone. Following its $2.5 billion agricultural strategic partnership with Louis Dreyfus Company on the first day, the company signed agreements with six global leaders in agriculture and trade, securing $2.76 billion in single-day deals. This brings Xiamen C&D’s two-day cumulative signing total at CIIE to over $5.2 billion, demonstrating its capability and commitment to integrating global resources and deepening international supply chain collaboration.
At the morning signing ceremony, Xiamen C&D expanded its multi-category, multi-region agricultural strategy through partnerships with BTG Pactual, Olam Agri, Cutrale Trading SA, CHS Inc., Cargill, and Syngenta. The agreements cover key commodities like soybeans, corn, edible oils, and cotton, further strengthening the company’s global supply chain resource allocation. Chairman Lin Mao and Deputy General Manager Lü Rongdian of Xiamen C&D’s Agricultural Group attended the ceremony.
**Six Key Partnerships to Bolster Resource Base** 1. **BTG Pactual**: As Latin America’s largest investment bank with deep commodity trading expertise, this collaboration will enhance Xiamen C&D’s direct sourcing capabilities in Brazil, laying a foundation for Latin American market expansion. 2. **Olam Agri**: With operations in 30+ countries, Olam’s integrated crop supply chain will help scale Xiamen C&D’s grain trade and supply chain synergy. 3. **Cutrale Trading SA**: A major Brazilian exporter to China, Cutrale’s end-to-end supply chain ensures stable, efficient flows of high-quality soybeans and corn. 4. **CHS Inc.**: The global agribusiness cooperative will bolster Xiamen C&D’s soybean resource control and overseas supply chain footprint. 5. **Cargill**: Leveraging Cargill’s 159-year legacy and 70+ country network, the deal guarantees steady, premium feedstock for downstream food processing. 6. **Syngenta**: Its closed-loop "farm-to-market" model in Brazil and Argentina will diversify Xiamen C&D’s portfolio into oils, cotton, coffee, and more.
**Strengthening Supply Chain Resilience for Global Markets** Back-to-back high-profile signings reflect Xiamen C&D’s international strategy. By forging stable ties with global leaders, the company not only fortifies its supply chain but also bridges premium resources with China’s market, transforming domestic demand into shared global opportunities.
Over eight years at CIIE, Xiamen C&D has expanded its partnerships—from Louis Dreyfus to six new collaborators—embodying the theme of "Global Resources, Shared Opportunities." Moving forward, the company will deepen global resource allocation, fostering efficient, stable, and sustainable supply chains to power worldwide trade with Chinese momentum.
