PARIS, Jan 10 (Reuters) - 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.
    The Agribriefing takeover follows Mintec's acquisition in
December of commodity price reporting firm CommoPrices.
    Mintec publishes prices and analysis on food ingredients.
    Five Arrows Principal Investments, an investment arm of
financial advisory group Rothschild & Co, acquired a majority
stake in Mintec last year.
