New Agribusiness Giant Focuses on Food Feed and Fuel Solutions
Global agribusiness leaders Bunge and Viterra have officially merged, combining their operations to create a leading company with the scale and reach to address the world’s food, feed, and fuel needs. The merged company brings together two strong agricultural players to enhance global trade efficiency.
Greg Heckman, Bunge’s CEO, shared his excitement: “Today is a defining moment for our company and our global team as we complete this transformative business combination.”
This merger enhances the company’s ability to operate efficiently across diverse markets. With Viterra’s global origination and Bunge’s processing and logistics capabilities, the new company will serve as a fully integrated agribusiness powerhouse.
The merger improves the combined company’s ability to adapt to changing markets by offering balanced value chains and access to high-growth consumption regions.
The deal also supports better logistics, synergies, and cost efficiencies from an expanded global network.
From a financial perspective, the combination is expected to deliver more stable cash flows, enhance capital management, and reduce investment risks due to its diverse asset base.
The company will continue under Greg Heckman’s leadership, with John Neppl as CFO, and two co-COOs: David Mattiske from Viterra and Julio Garros from Bunge. These leaders will focus on strategic areas like renewable energy, safety, and regional operations.
With over 37,000 employees and operations in 50+ countries, the new entity is committed to efficient food delivery, regenerative agriculture, and sustainable trade practices.
