Vicentin said on May 14, 2021, it is entering talks to sell a majority stake to export firms Viterra, Molinos Agro S.A. (BASE:MOLA) and Argentine cooperative ACA. “A majority group of Vicentin shareholders have accepted a non-binding expression of interest presented by three companies, with extensive experience in the industry, to evaluate the possibility of acquiring a majority stake,” Vicentin said in a statement. It added that the three parties had jointly expressed their interest in a possible acquisition. Last year the government proposed taking the company over, but dropped the plan after an outcry from the local farm sector.
