Olam seeking about US$3bil for London IPO of food ingredients unit - sources


SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Olam International is considering raising about 2 billion pounds (US$2.8 billion) through a London listing of its food ingredients unit next year, sources familiar with the matter said on Friday, as the Singapore-based trading house seeks to boost its valuation and step up acquisitions.

The company, one of the world's biggest agricultural commodity traders, is listing Olam Food Ingredients (OFI) as part of a business overhaul flagged last year to focus on the two core businesses of OFI and Olam Global Agri (OGA) after the sale of sugar, rubber and other portfolios.
