On July 2, 2025, Bunge and Viterra officially completed their merger, forming a single entity under the Bunge brand. This was announced on Viterra’s official website and in a company press release. The merger marks a significant step in strengthening the company’s position in the global agricultural market. This event heralds the beginning of a new era for the company, which aims to become a leading player in the global agricultural sector.

According to Bunge’s CEO Greg Heckman, the new organization combines the expertise and resources of both companies to more effectively deliver food, feed, and fuel worldwide. “We have created a stronger company with enhanced capabilities to meet the needs of our customers and maximize value for our stakeholders,” Heckman stated.

The merger process began in June 2023, when the deal, valued at approximately $34 billion, including debt, was announced, according to Bloomberg estimates. In June 2025, Chinese antitrust authorities granted final approval, marking the last milestone following clearances in the United States, the European Union, Canada, and Brazil. To avoid monopolization, the companies agreed to divest certain assets in Canada and the United States.

The merged company will retain the Bunge name and continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: BG). With a broader agricultural network and a flexible team, Bunge will be better equipped to manage seasonal and weather-related risks while strengthening connections between farmers and end consumers.

For clients and partners, including those in Ukraine, the merger will not result in immediate changes to operations. The company assures that business processes will continue as usual, and any changes, such as transitioning Viterra employees’ email addresses to the @bunge.com domain, will be communicated in advance.

The merger opens new opportunities for Bunge in the area of sustainability. The company plans to accelerate its commitments to addressing climate change, supporting regenerative agriculture, and expanding its range of low-carbon solutions. Bunge will continue to integrate sustainability principles into its business strategy and operations.

Clients will gain access to a wider range of products and improved supply capabilities, contributing to enhanced global food security. Bunge emphasizes its commitment to transparency and responsibility in the supply chain, setting ambitious goals grounded in the latest scientific advancements.

The company pledges to ensure a smooth transition for all parties, minimizing any disruptions. Clients and partners with questions are encouraged to contact Bunge representatives for further information.
