Bunge Ltd BG and Olleco, the renewables division for ABP Food Group, agree to form a 50/50 joint venture to create a business that encompasses the full life-cycle of edible oils.
The joint venture is expected to work with foodservice and food manufacturing customers in Europe, excluding U.K. and Ireland.
