BEIJING, June 16 (Reuters) - China's market regulator

has granted conditional approval for global agribusiness Bunge

Global SA's ( BG ) merger with Glencore ( GLCNF )-backed grain handler

Viterra, it said on Monday, as the company cleared the final

hurdle for the $34 billion mega-deal announced two years ago.

China's confirmation comes after Bunge said it received

regulatory approval from China for the merger on Friday.
