Grain Creditors Endorse Grassi–Cargill Bid in Vicentin Rescue Cramdown

The court set an end-October deadline to secure creditor majorities to avoid bankruptcy.

Overview

  • The Fideicomiso Acreedores Granarios, representing more than 70 grain-sector firms, said it will support Grassi’s proposal built on a commercial arrangement with Cargill.
  • Cargill confirmed talks focused on crushing and by-product commercialization that involve no equity partnership and would take effect only if Grassi prevails.
  • Four qualified offers are competing in the process: Grassi, Bunge, Unión Agrícola de Avellaneda, and the Molinos Agro–Louis Dreyfus consortium, with required guarantees deposited.
  • The plan must win adhesions from over half of creditors and two-thirds of the verified capital by late October, otherwise the judge will declare bankruptcy.
  • Vicentin’s Avellaneda, San Lorenzo and Ricardone plants are running limited tolling operations with urgent repair needs, with union warnings on processing windows into November for sunflower and February 2026 for soy.
