TORONTO, Feb 15 - Viterra, the Canadian grain handler that has seen slowing profits amid global financial volatility, said on Wednesday it was divesting all of its North American feed assets.
Calgary-based Viterra said it was selling the assets - including six feed mills and one pre-mix manufacturing facility in Canada and six feed mills and a commodity blending site in the United States - to Hi-Pro Feeds LP, owned by the existing management team and Birch Hill Equity Partners.
It gave no price.
Viterra (VT.TO: Quote) last month reported lower profit than expected for the quarter, weighed down by increased costs at its grain handling facilities and fierce competition in the feed market.
