Bunge, the U.S. grain trader, is set to acquire Viterra, Canada's largest grain handling company, for $8.2B. Bunge will use Viterra's network of North American grain-buying and shipping facilities to better handle weather supply chain disruptions. Bunge will take its strengths in soybean processing and South American crops and utilize Viterra to help it sell crops to food companies, governments, and other buyers around the world.
