St. Paul / MN. (chs) CHS Inc. and Japanese Zen-Noh, two of the world´s leading farmer-owned cooperatives, announced that CHS has acquired 51 percent of CZL Limited, a joint venture company that will supply commodities, primarily wheat and barley, to Japan. The joint venture will be managed from the CZL office in Tokyo. «CHS and Zen-Noh have been strong trading partners for more than 30 years», said Rick Browne, senior vice president, CHS Asia-Pacific. «This formal agreement strengthens CHS role in adding value to member-owners grain by aligning with these trusted partners in an important Asia-Pacific market». CZL will market commodities that are primarily sourced in the United States, Canada and Australia to Japan. Japan is the top global destination for wheat and barley imports.
