China Resources Enterprise Ltd plans to sell its piped gas, chemicals distribution and petroleum-related businesses in China to its parent for US$356 million to focus on consumer-oriented sectors.

According to Reuters, the Beijing-backed conglomerate, which kicked off a corporate overhaul in 2005, intends to keep selling non-core units to concentrate on developing retail, food and a brewery business on the mainland and Hong Kong run jointly with SABMiller Plc.
