Viterra Overview

About Viterra

Viterra is a global agricultural commodities business headquartered in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, that originates, stores, processes, transports and markets grains, oilseeds, pulses and other crops. It operates grain elevators, port terminals, oilseed processing plants and logistics assets across North and South America, Europe and Australia, buying crops from farmers and selling them to food processors, feed makers and importers worldwide. In 2022 it generated revenue of $53.9 billion and EBITDA of $2.6 billion. The Viterra name dates from 2007, when Saskatchewan Wheat Pool acquired Agricore United in Regina; Glencore bought Viterra Inc. in 2012 for C$6.1 billion and combined it with its own agricultural division, which sold stakes to CPP Investments and British Columbia Investment Management Corporation in 2016 and later took the Viterra name. Viterra acquired US grain merchant Gavilon in 2022. In July 2025 it merged with Bunge in a transaction valued at about $18 billion including debt, and it is now part of Bunge Global.

Viterra Acquisition

Viterra was acquired by Bunge for $18B on 13 June 2023.

The acquisition price implies a 0.3x revenue and 6.9x EBITDA multiple on $54B of revenue.

On 13 June 2023, Bunge agreed to merge with Viterra Limited, the Rotterdam-based agricultural commodities company, in a stock and cash transaction valued at about $18 billion including $9.8 billion of Viterra debt. Viterra shareholders, led by Glencore with CPP Investments and British Columbia Investment Management Corporation, were to receive approximately 65.6 million Bunge shares worth about $6.2 billion and roughly $2.0 billion in cash, a mix of about 75% stock and 25% cash; Glencore put the implied equity valuation of Viterra at $8.1 billion. The assumed debt was associated with approximately $9.0 billion of highly liquid readily marketable inventories. The combination was designed to create a diversified global agribusiness spanning origination, processing and trading, with Viterra's Rotterdam headquarters remaining an important commercial location for the enlarged group. In 2022 Viterra generated revenue of $53.9 billion and EBITDA of $2.6 billion. After lengthy antitrust reviews, the merger completed on 2 July 2025, creating a group with more than 50,000 employees and revenue above $100 billion.

DateStageInvestorsRaisedValuationDeal Summary
Jun 2016SecondaryBCI (lead)$625M$6.3BOn 9 June 2016, Glencore agreed to sell an additional 9.99% stake in Glencore Agricultural Products to British Columbia Investment Management Corporation (bcIMC) for US$624.9 million in cash payable on closing. The price valued 100% of the equity in the agricultural business at US$6.25 billion after taking into account the indebtedness the business was expected to carry at closing, the same valuation as the 40% stake sold to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board in April 2016. After both sales Glencore retained 50.01% and the business continued to be run by its existing management team, while bcIMC gained the right to appoint one director and certain reserved-matter rights consistent with its shareholding. Glencore Agricultural Products combined the Viterra grain-handling network, bought by Glencore in 2012, with Glencore's global grain trading, oilseed processing and logistics operations, and it was later renamed Viterra. In 2023 the shareholders agreed to merge Viterra with Bunge, a deal completed in July 2025.
Apr 2016SecondaryCPP Investments (lead)$2.5B$6.3BOn 6 April 2016, Glencore agreed to sell a 40% interest in Glencore Agricultural Products to the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board for US$2.5 billion in cash, a price that valued 100% of the equity in the agricultural business at US$6.25 billion. At the end of 2015 the business carried about US$0.6 billion of long-term debt and US$3.0 billion of net working capital, including US$2.5 billion of readily marketable inventories, which it planned to finance with short-term debt at closing. The sale formed part of Glencore's balance-sheet programme and created a long-term partnership in which Glencore kept control of the division. The business combined the Viterra grain-handling network, which Glencore had bought in 2012, with Glencore's grain trading, oilseed processing and logistics operations, and it was later renamed Viterra. In June 2016 Glencore sold a further 9.99% stake to British Columbia Investment Management Corporation at the same valuation, leaving Glencore with 50.01% of the business.
