消费者近期粮油需求增长

Commodities trading giant Glencore has reported a sharp rise in profits and revenue thanks to strong demand for grain and oil in particular.

受消费者对粮食和食用油需求激增的影响，日用品交易巨头嘉能可国际盈利显著增长。

Net profit for the first three months of the year was $1.3bn (£800m), up 47% on the $886m the company made a year earlier. Revenue was up 39% to $44.2bn.

These are the first results Glencore has published since becoming a publicly-listed company last month.

The listing was London's largest initial public offering.

Glencore is the world's largest commodities（商品，日用品） trader, employing about 57,500 people across more than 40 countries. It made a profit of $3.8bn on revenues of $145bn last year.

It trades metals and minerals, as well as energy and agricultural products, and has benefited from the recent growth in demand for commodities, especially from China.
