At the close of this WBR edition, neither Marfrig nor Minerva had announced a possible extension of the deadline set by the parties until this Thursday, August 28, to finalize the sale of three slaughterhouses in Uruguay (Inaler-La Caballada and Colonia). The Commission for the Promotion and Defense of Competition (Coprodec), a decentralized body under the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), has until October 13 to issue its ruling on the transaction.
