Coprodec extends deadline again for the Marfrig-Minerva deal decision

The Commission for the Promotion and Defense of Competition (Coprodec), part of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, announced a new 60-day extension to decide on Minerva’s purchase of Marfrig’s slaughter plants. With this decision, it’s now certain that Coprodec’s ruling will come after the negotiation period between the two multinationals expires.
