Brazilian meat processor JBS is said to be vying to acquire Dutch plant-based business Vivera.
JBS is reportedly leading the charge to purchase Vivera and is in advanced talks with the firm, while other large consumer companies are also interested, according to sources with knowledge of the matter cited by
Bloomberg, which said valuations could put a price tag of EUR300m (US$359.4m) to EUR400m on the deal.
Vivera, founded in 1990 as Encko-Vivera, a traditional protein company with a presence in vegan and vegetarian products, went fully plant-based in 2019 when it sold the meat part of the business Encko to Dutch meat processor Van Loon Group. Vivera has a small presence in Brazil with a distribution agreement with meat giant BRF.

With the last of four 10-year leases have expired in January, the Ellsworth Area Chamber of Commerce will move into a refurbished space just a stone’s throw away this week.
The chamber has occupied a spot on a pad at the Ellsworth Shopping Center on High Street since 1981, according to a news release.
The original visitor center at 163 High St. had a small space, with a separate shingled roof bus stop and advertising space. The board of directors leased the location for $1 per year from the Van Loon family with four 10-year renewals.
In order to accommodate the growing staff and the need for more visitor information, the board took out a loan for an expansion of the space that included three offices, bathrooms, a larger display area and more. The staff moved back into the refurbished building in 1986.
