Cutrale (50%) -- In August 2014, together with Safra Group, it tried to acquire the American banana company Chiquita for US$611 million in cash.[3] At the time Chiquita did not accept the Brazilian offer because it wanted to continue the merger process with Irish Fyffes. However, on October 24, 2014, Chiquita gave up the merger with Fyffes, and on October 27, Safra Group and Cutrale agreed to acquire Chiquita for US$682 million.[6]
The company has orchards and factories in Brazil and the United States.
