Elders Limited has secured regulatory approval to acquire Delta Agribusiness, subject to divesting six Western Australian branches, while maintaining a positive outlook for FY25 earnings.

The ACCC has approved Elders Limited’s acquisition of Delta Agribusiness, contingent on Elders divesting six Delta retail stores in Western Australia to preserve local competition.

The ACCC has raised preliminary concerns that Elders’ proposed acquisition of Delta Agribusiness could reduce competition in rural merchandise supply across key Australian regions, potentially impacting prices and service quality.
