Abstract: The purpose of this report is to analyze the potential effects of the Bunge-Viterra (BV) merger on competition across the grain industry. As described in Competition Bureau Guidelines, we also recognise we are working with sparse data and have made assumptions about behavioral relationships. While we lack the data to provide detailed and precise estimates of market impacts, we are confident that our analysis accurately portrays both the direction and magnitude of likely market impacts potentially stemming from the merger.
