Hite Jinro Holdings, the parent company of alcoholic beverage maker Hite Jiro, said it has ended negotiations with Changhae Ethanol for selling its wholly owned subsidiary Hite Jinro Ethanol, a soju raw materials maker.

In a public filing, Hite Jinro Holdings said it has failed to narrow the differences with the bio-ethanol producer on sales conditions.


However, Hite Jinro Holdings will continue its efforts to sell Hite Jinro Ethanol, the company said.
