Paris | Reuters — British market intelligence firm Mintec announced on Tuesday the acquisition of Agribriefing in a deal it said would create a leading global provider of data on agricultural and food markets.
Financial details were not disclosed.
Agribriefing’s businesses include protein price-reporting agency Urner Barry and crop consultancy Strategie Grains, the latter acquired by Agribriefing in 2021.
New Jersey-based Urner Barry provides market intelligence for the poultry, egg, meat, seafood and plant protein segments, while France’s Strategie focuses on European and world grain and oilseed markets.
The Agribriefing takeover follows Mintec’s acquisition in December of commodity price reporting firm CommoPrices.
Mintec, based west of London, publishes prices and analysis on food ingredients.
Five Arrows Principal Investments, an investment arm of financial advisory group Rothschild and Co., acquired a majority stake in Mintec last year.
