WILMAR International's China unit, Yihai Kerry Arawana (YKA), is expected to list on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange's ChiNext Board this month. With the money raised, the company is eyeing a "huge expansion of its agri-commodity processing and food product businesses".
"The listing will allow YKA to accelerate its growth in China, which we believe will be the world's largest and most sophisticated consumer food market," Wilmar said in response to queries from The Business Times.
