    Bunge lifts Viterra cost-synergy target to $350M amid oilseed processing strength

    Question

    Bunge lifts Viterra cost-synergy target to $350M amid oilseed processing strength

    Direct answer

    Bunge Global is accelerating cost-rationalization plans following its merger with Viterra, lifting aggregate synergy expectations to $350 million. Strong performance across oilseed processing operations provides baseline cash flow support. However, sub-benchmark returns on invested capital and subdued grain origination margins continue to weigh on cash conversion efficiency across agricultural peers including ADM.
