Viterra, Bunge $8.2B merger officially completed
Bunge announced its successful merger with Viterra Limited, forming what they anticipate will be a leading global agribusiness company specializing in food, feed, and fuel.
This US$8.2-billion deal was finalized nearly six months after the Canadian government approved the merger, having included specific terms and conditions to address competition concerns.
According to a media release, Bunge's CEO, Greg Heckman, stated that this union creates a more robust organization with enhanced capabilities and expertise.
Viterra, a grain-handling business formerly known as the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool, operates over 80 facilities across Canada.
As part of the new structure, former Viterra CEO David Mattiske now serves as Co-Chief Operating Officer on Bunge's Executive Leadership Team.
He joins Julio Garros, who previously held the role of Bunge's Co-President of Agribusiness.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 3, 2025.

How a fashion tech CEO packs when she travels
Maggie Adhami-Boynton used to arrive at the airport hours early in fear of missing her flight; but her fast life as a CEO has transformed her into a highly efficient traveller. She's learned to make it from cab to gate in barely 15 minutes. 'When you're flying five times a month, you have no choice but to streamline everything,' she says. 'I don't check a bag unless I'm gone for more than 10 days. I've learned the hard way – once I lost my suitcase on the way to a partner meeting in Dublin.' Born in Iran and raised in Toronto from the age of 3, Adhami-Boynton studied psychology before pivoting into tech and business. After working in digital advertising and branding, she co-founded a mobile services company that was acquired in 2017, with clients including RBC, TD and Pizza Pizza. In 2018, she launched ShopThing, a platform that combines tech and fashion by offering live, real-time video shopping – a model popular in Asia but previously untapped in North America. As CEO, Adhami-Boynton travels constantly. She's often in cities such as Tokyo, Dubai, Beijing, Milan and Stockholm, with a team spread across New York, Miami and Los Angeles. Despite loving shoes and outfit changes, she's become a packing expert. 'I've found ways to keep it minimal but stylish,' she says. 'I spend too much time in airports to waste hours sitting around in terminals.' Her biggest travel pet peeve? Inefficient security lines. 'It's so frustrating being stuck behind people who don't know the drill – take out your electronics, empty your water bottles. You knew you were coming!' Her best tip: Pack efficiently, come prepared and you will save loads of time.
