Ex-Louis Dreyfus traders target Ukraine grains

Former head of grain trading at agribusiness firm Louis Dreyfus is to launch a new company targeting the Ukraine grains market, according to Reuters citing unnamed sources.

David Ohayon, who left  the firm earlier this year, will base the new company in Geneva and former head of Ukraine for Louis Dreyfus Lamprakis Lazos would lead activities in Ukraine and hire staff, Reuters reported.
