Bunge will sell oil mills in Poland and Hungary. To get EU approval for the merger with Viterra

Bunge sprzeda olejarnie w Polsce i na Węgrzech. Żeby dostać zgodę UE na fuzję z Viterrą
  • Two of the world's largest agricultural products trading companies want to merge: American Bunge Global SA and Dutch competitor Viterra Limited.
  • As reported by Reuters and Handelsblatt, the holding companies have made commitments to divest their plants in Poland and Hungary in order to obtain approval from the EU antitrust office for the planned merger.

Previous reports on this matter indicated that both giants agreed to limit their presence in Europe to get rid of accusations from agricultural organizations of limiting competition on agricultural markets in the EU. Now, however, it has become clear what sacrifices both mega-companies are willing to make. It is already known that the holding companies have submitted an appropriate undertaking to the European Commission regarding the merger. The EC postponed the deadline for considering the merger application to August 1. According to Agrarheute, Bunge wants to sacrifice, among others, for the merger: its oil mills in Poland. It is not yet known what Viterra will sacrifice.

The concerns remained

Bunge and Viterra would be worth about $34 billion together. The common goal of the companies is to reduce the gap with such global giants in the trade of agricultural raw materials as Archer-Daniels-Midland (ADM) and Cargill.

But the planned merger, which was announced almost a year ago, has raised concerns among competition authorities and agricultural industry organizations in both North America and Europe. The National Council of Agricultural Chambers in Poland and industry associations also opposed this merger.
