Agricultural trader Bunge Global SA (NYSE:BG) is close to receiving a decision from Chinese antitrust authorities on its $8.2 billion purchase of Glencore Plc-backed Viterra Limited, according to people familiar with the matter, roughly two years after the bumper deal was first announced. China?s approval ? conditional or otherwise ?
is the last major hurdle in Bunge?s bid to create an agricultural commodities giant capable of competing with Cargill Inc. A verdict could come within days, said the people, who asked not to be named because the information is private.
