Bunge and Viterra merge to create $34 billion agri-trading powerhouse.
Bunge and Viterra have announced an $18 billion merger, creating one of the world's largest agriculture trading firms. The combined entity will be worth $34 billion and will be examined closely by antitrust regulators. The deal brings Bunge closer in global scale to leading rivals Archer-Daniels-Midland and Cargill. Bunge is already the world's largest oilseed processor and analysts said it and Viterra's crushing businesses could face regulatory scrutiny in Canada and Argentina.
