The Competition Bureau says Quebec-based agri-food co-operative La Coop federee has agreed to sell several Cargill retail locations in Ontario as part of an agreement related to its purchase of some of Cargill’s grain and crop input assets, including its stake in South West Ag Partners.
The Canadian Press reports the co-operative will sell locations in Alliston, Harrow, Tilbury, and Waterford to a purchaser acceptable to the commissioner.
The bureau says the agreement will preserve competition in specific areas of Ontario where the co-op and Cargill own competing crop input retail locations.
