BayWa's Sale of Cefetra: German trading group BayWa has sold its grain and oilseed trading unit, Cefetra, to Dutch company PGFO for approximately 125 million euros as part of a strategy to reduce its debt burden. This sale will result in a total cash inflow of about 186 million euros after refinancing.
Debt Reduction Efforts: The deconsolidation of Cefetra will help cut BayWa's bank liabilities by around 500 million euros, as the company aims to reduce its overall debt by 4 billion euros by selling foreign assets and restructuring, including job cuts confirmed by a Munich court.
