The merger unites Bunge Global SA and Viterra Limited, establishing a premier global agribusiness solutions company poised to enhance food, feed, and fuel supply chains worldwide. This strategic combination is set to deliver significant synergies and strengthen market capabilities.
Bunge Global SA announced the successful completion of its previously announced merger with Viterra Limited on July 2, 2025, a monumental step that officially creates a new, leading global agribusiness solutions company. This union is set to redefine the landscape of food, feed, and fuel supply chains, connecting farmers to consumers across the globe with enhanced efficiency and reach.
Under the terms of the agreement, Viterra shareholders received a substantial payout consisting of both Bunge stock and cash. Specifically, they were given approximately 65.6 million shares of Bunge stock, valued at about $6.2 billion, alongside an additional $2.0 billion in cash. This structured consideration means that roughly 75% of the payment was in Bunge stock, with the remaining 25% in cash.
As part of the broader transaction, Bunge also took on $9.8 billion of Viterra's existing debt. Notably, approximately $9.0 billion of this assumed debt is associated with highly-liquid Readily Marketable Inventories, suggesting a manageable financial impact.
The newly formed company is positioned as a global, fully integrated agribusiness solutions provider. A key driver behind this combination is the highly complementary nature of Bunge’s and Viterra’s existing asset footprints. This synergy is expected to create an unparalleled network, strategically connecting farmers in the world’s largest production regions directly to areas experiencing the fastest growth in consumption. This expanded reach and integrated approach are anticipated to streamline operations and optimize the flow of agricultural commodities.
Furthermore, the merger is set to significantly enhance the combined company's ability to navigate and meet the demands of increasingly complex global markets. By achieving a better balance of value chains across various geographies, gaining access to more critical origination markets, and diversifying its agricultural network to cover all major crops, the new entity will be better equipped to provide robust solutions for end customers, regardless of market conditions. This diversification is expected to build resilience and adaptability into its operational model.
Financially, the combined company anticipates relatively more stable cash flows due to its expanded and diversified footprint. This improvement in business risk and credit profile is expected to translate into capital structure efficiencies and tangible cost of capital benefits, further solidifying its financial standing in the global market.
