Consultation has concluded
Transport Canada is reviewing the proposed acquisition of Viterra Limited (Viterra) by Bunge Limited (Bunge) in accordance with the Canada Transportation Act. We want your input to help inform the review process.
On August 15, 2023, Viterra and Bunge notified the Minister of Transport that Bunge proposes to acquire Viterra. Bunge is a major U.S.-based grain company, and Viterra is another grain company that has extensive operations in Canada.
On September 26, 2023, the Minister decided that the proposed acquisition raises public interest issues related to national transportation and directed Transport Canada to begin a public interest assessment. The assessment will include input from the Commissioner of Competition, who will look at how the acquisition would impact competition in the transportation and agricultural sectors.
