Agrium unit to divest some stores in Canada farm retail deal
Crop Production Services , a farm retail subsidiary of fertilizer producer Agrium Inc, has agreed to sell four Alberta stores to resolve competition concerns around its proposed purchase of smaller rival Andrukow Group Solutions, Canada's antitrust regulator said on Thursday. CPS agreed in April to buy Andrukow's 17 farm retail stores in the Canadian province of Alberta and one in Saskatchewan, for an undisclosed price.
