Shen Yao announces shift to commodities trading

The company is securing 3.5 million tonnes of coal for JCS.

Shen Yao Holdings Limited reported in a bourse filing on 18 July that it plans to transform into a commodities trading company that is integrated within the value chain of the mining and resources industry, as this is the core business of the company.

Shen Yao said the company is exerting its “best efforts” to secure 3.5 million tonnes of coal for JCS within a 24-month period from the execution date of the agent agreement it entered on 21 March 2025.

Shen Yao said it will be responsible for coordinating the negotiation and finalisation of the purchase terms with the coal suppliers.

It also intends to actively pursue and secure additional agreements of a similar nature and scope, as this will constitute a new line of business for the company.

Shen Yao has appointed a senior manager with an extensive network and experience in the coal mining and trading business to support the new business.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
