In August, Agrosuper, the Chile-based meat, seafood and processed food manufacturer, swooped to buy local salmon producer Empresas AquaChile.
Agrosuper had struck a deal to buy 67% of AquaChile from the company’s majority shareholders and launch a tender offer for the rest of the business. The company said the value of the transaction, which is subject to competition approval, could reach US$850m.
