The Brazilian competition authority, the Cade, has reportedly approved the proposed Corteva Agriscience takeover deal for US biostimulants business Stoller (Houston, Texas). The Cade investigation found that there were “horizontal overlaps in the segments of biological products, adjuvants and oils”, Brazilian agribusiness news service Revista Cultivar reports.
