Rodolfo Ramos said the deal enabled Bachoco to step up its organic expansion and further diversify geographically. "This is the next step to strengthen this particular stage of our supply chain, which allows us to support the organic growth of the company and, at the same time, increase our geographical dispersion and reduce risky situations," he said.
