Brazilian mining company to buy Bunge´s fertilizer unit

In a move that will increase its participation in the fertilizer sector, Vale SA is buying Bunge´s fertilizer unit for US3.8 billion. The Brazilian based company, world’s biggest iron-ore producer and second largest nickel miner, is seeking to diversify from iron ore and boost investments in fertilizers throughout Latin America as Brazil aims to reach self-sufficiency in crop nutrients after prices surged. It’ll be Vale´s biggest takeover since its US18.2 billion buy of Canada’s Inco in 2006.
