[Soundbite] Louis(Brazilian Farm Owner) : "Four major agricultural companies here are buying up grains and selling them worldwide."
In recent years Japanese and Chinese businesses have joined the crop war. Japanese general trading companies like Marubeni and Mitsubishi have expanded to the crop farming industry. China's state-run agricultural company COFCO became the world's sixth largest grain company through aggressive mergers and acquisitions of foreign businesses. Starting last year, Korean corporations have also been visiting farms and warehouses in Brazil. The aim is to carve out an independent grain import channel without relying on foreign businesses.
