VLADIVOSTOK, Russia, Sept 4 (Reuters) - Russian
state-controlled VTB bank  VTBR.MM , which has been expanding
its grain business, is still interested in buying half of the
Taman grain terminal on the Black Sea, the bank's chief
executive Andrey Kostin said on Wednesday.
    VTB said previously that it was considering buying a stake
in the Taman grain terminal from Ukraine's Kernel group
 KER.WA . Global trade giant Glencore  GLEN.L  owns the other
half of the terminal, located in Russia.  urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nR4N23602J

terminal, Kostin told reporters.
