The CEO of Bunge Gregory Heckman has released the following statement regarding the proposed merger of Bunge-Viterra,
Prairie farmers, stakeholders and communities – the teams from Bunge and Viterra have met with many of you directly or through your industry associations in recent months. We’ve listened to your concerns and have answered your questions about what the complementary combination of Bunge and Viterra will mean for you. You want to know about the future combined organization’s commitments to Canadian farmers and workers. And you want to know how and why this deal would be a good thing for Canada.
I want you to hear the answers directly from me.
The new company will be committed to Canadian workers and the transaction will not result in the closure of any Bunge or Viterra facilities in Canada. That commitment means we are keeping our important office presence in Regina and will continue to employ thousands of Canadians with well-paying jobs across the country. In keeping with this commitment, we’ve announced that current Viterra North America CEO Kyle Jeworski will lead the combined company’s Canadian operations and will remain in Regina. Kyle has a deep connection to Canadian farmers, a proven track record of leading great teams and history of working closely with Canadian producers and communities.
