“The acquisition of Gavilon firmly establishes Viterra in the important US grains and oilseeds markets,” Nagle said on Wednesday. “Viterra is now present in all major agricultural origination regions of the world. This will enable the company to take advantage of structural opportunities across global agricultural markets.”

The company has also long been on the hunt for assets in the US grain industry, including an unsuccessful approach to rival Bunge Ltd. in 2017, but hadn’t inked a major deal since the Viterra purchase. The trading giant sounded out buyers for Gavilon in 2019, Bloomberg reported at the time, although Marubeni denied that it intended to sell the unit.
