The acquisition will be made in two tranches, with 80 percent of the business to be acquired in the coming months.

Closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and satisfaction of customary conditions precedent.
As part of this acquisition, Nutrien expects to capture synergies through the distribution of a variety of Nutrien's existing crop input products and services in Brazil.
