M&A, Bayer one step away from the wedding with Monsanto

The Germans raise their offer for Monsanto up to 135 dollars per share and breach the heart of the American agribusiness giant – The next few weeks will be decisive: if the final negotiations go through, the world leader in pesticides and seeds will be born

The German Bayer and the American Monsanto are one step away from the wedding. The negotiations over the next two weeks will be decisive, but the move by the Germans, who raised the initial offer to $135 shares, seems to have made inroads into the heart and portfolio of Monsanto, which initially rejected the advances of the group Leverkusen.

If the deal goes through, the world's leading group in the field of seeds and pesticides will be born and it will be confirmed that agribusiness is at the heart of the merger and acquisition in this period, as seen with the recent green light to the ChemChina merger -Syngenta, which greatly worries the US establishment, and with the possible completion of the marriage between Dow Chemical and DuPont.
