Alliance Buys U. K. Crop Importer

Alliance Grain Traders, a processor of pulse crops such as beans and lentils, said Nov. 1 it had bought London-based importer A. Poortman (London) Ltd. The acquisition includes a processing plant for dry edible beans and pulses in Tianjin, China, as well as trading offices in Europe. Poortman gives Regina, Saskatchewan-based Alliance a processing presence in China, one of the world’s most important dry-bean exporting regions, said Alliance CEO Murad Al-Katib.
