Bunge Global SA has officially completed its $34 billion merger with Viterra Limited, marking one of the most significant consolidations in the global grain and oilseed trade in recent years. The transaction, announced on July 2, 2025, ushers in a new era for the company, which now stands as a major force poised to rival agribusiness heavyweights such as Archer-Daniels-Midland and Cargill.

Bunge’s Chief Executive Officer Greg Heckman described the merger as a defining moment for the company. “Together, we’ve formed a stronger organization with enhanced capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our customers and to fulfill our shared purpose: connecting farmers to consumers to deliver food, feed, and fuel to the world,” he said. Heckman emphasized that the focus now shifts to integrating teams and operations to fully capture the potential of the combined company.

This mega-deal not only expands Bunge’s global reach but also strengthens its footprint in key markets where it had historically been less dominant. In particular, analysts note that the merger enhances Bunge’s position in the United States grain export and oilseed processing sectors, areas where its presence had lagged behind competitors like ADM and Cargill. By integrating Viterra’s global network, the new company is better positioned to compete on both scale and operational efficiency.

The final approval came just last month, when China’s market regulator granted conditional clearance for the merger, removing the last major obstacle to the transaction’s completion. Earlier, regulatory authorities in Canada and the European Union had also approved the deal, subject to specific conditions designed to safeguard market competition.

The merger brings together highly complementary global asset networks, linking some of the largest grain-producing regions to rapidly growing consumption markets. With its diversified agricultural portfolio and broader access to key origination points, the new entity is set to offer more robust supply chain solutions across increasingly complex global markets.

In addition to the operational synergies, the company anticipates greater efficiency through vertical integration, improved logistics management, and expanded trading flexibility. These advantages are expected to support more stable cash flows and enhance the financial strength of the combined organization. The leadership of the unified company remains with Greg Heckman as Chief Executive Officer and John Neppl as Chief Financial Officer.
