PARIS, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Louis Dreyfus Company has

acquired grains and oilseeds processing, storage and trading

activities in Hungary and Poland from rival agricultural

commodity merchant Bunge Global ( BG ), LDC said on Monday.

The deal covers assets previously owned by Viterra that

Bunge had offered to sell in order to secure European Union

approval for its $34 billion merger with Viterra.

In Hungary, the activities include an oilseed processing

plant in Fokto that is one of Europe's largest sunflower seed

crushing facilities, LDC said in a statement.

The Polish assets feature an oilseed facility at

Bodaczow that accounts for around 15% of Poland's total rapeseed

crush volume, it said.

The deal also covers trading offices in the Hungarian

capital Budapest and the Polish port city of Gdansk.

Financial terms for the deal were not disclosed.

The acquisition would allow LDC to expand in the

sunflower market and in Central European countries,

complementing its existing grains and meals business in Poland,

Andre Roth, LDC's head of grains and oilseeds, said in the

statement.

Bunge officially completed its merger with Viterra at the

start of July, two years after announcing the transaction.
