Singapore-listed palm oil refiner Mewah International (MEWI.SI) said on Friday it will invest an additional US$200 million ($256.3 million) to buy land for building consumer pack products and logistics facilities in Zhangjiagang, China.
The project is expected to be completed within three years, Mewah said in a statement. The firm had earlier planned to invest $50 million to set up a palm oil manufacturing base in Zhangjiagang.
 
Mewah, which produces vegetable oil products for sale to   wholesalers, retailers, and supermarkets, raised $277 million from its initial public offering in Singapore in November last year. 
 
The firm plans to expand its refining capacities and boost   its revenue by tapping fast-growing markets including China,   where demand for edible oils and fats products is growing.   |
