Global agribusiness giant Bunge has divested its grain elevator in Valparaiso, Saskatchewan, to Cargill – the final sale of six facilities as part of the company’s agreement with the Canadian government to receive regulatory approval for its merger deal with Glencore’s agriculture division Viterra.
The company announced the divestment of the other five facilities on 7 November 2025.
As part of Bunge’s agreement with the Canadian government, the Valparaiso facility had been held separately from the rest of Bunge’s business and, since 2 July, had been run by an independent Hold Separate Manager.
The hold separate and sales process for all six facilities had been monitored by a government-approved third party, Bunge said on 23 January.
According to a 26 January World Grain report, local companies acquired the other five Western Canada grain elevators from Bunge.
Separate from its commitment to the government, Bunge had also divested its Eyebrow grain elevator in Saskatchewan to FW Cobs, the report said.
The US$8.2bn Bunge-Viterra merger, which was completed in July 2025 after more than two years of negotiations, created one of the world’s largest agribusiness firms, moving it closer in size and scope to Cargill and ADM, World Grain reported at the time.
Following the merger, Missouri-based Bunge Global has a presence in more than 50 countries, operates more than 300 grain storage facilities, has more than 40 port terminals, and over 155 processing, refining and packaging facilities, according to the 26 January World Grain report.
According to Sosland Publishing’s 2026 Grain & Milling Annual, Bunge operates 80 grain storage facilities with 293,006,000 bushels of licensed storage, making it the third largest North American grain handling company.
The company’s subsidiary, Bunge Canada - formerly Viterra Canada - operates 79 grain storage facilities with licensed grain storage of 117M bushels.
