China's Zhengzhou Grain Wholesale Market announced Tuesday (June 2) about its alliance with Shihua Financial Information to jointly provide investors with agricultural commodities market data and information on Shihua's terminal services and website.

Zhengzhou Grain Wholesale Market is China's first standardised national grain wholesale market approved by the State Council, which is an important step by the government to macro-regulate grain industrialization. In September 2006, it was confirmed as the State Grain Trading Centre (Zhengzhou) by the National Food Authority.

Shihua Financial Information, a leading financial information service in China, provides real-time and archived financial information, data, objective research and analysis for financial institutions, media, professional investors and corporate executives in China.

Through this cooperation, Zhengzhou Grain Wholesale Market will provide Shihua Financial Information's subscribers with market analysis, settlement price data and spot market data.
