Glencore, the commodities trader in the throes of a $33 billion takeover of miner Xstrata, bought a 50 percent stake in a Russian grain export terminal alongside Ukrainian agricultural producer Kernel.
The terminal, in the port of Taman, one of the largest deep- water grain export terminals on the Black Sea coast, is close to southern Russia's main grain producing region, providing a platform for Kernel's Russian export business and extending Glencore's reach.
