On October 21, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Portuguese competition authority, known as AdC, made a significant decision regarding the merger operation Ccent/2026/72 involving IN AGRIS and FERREIRA DA SILVA.

The authority exercised its powers under the relevant statutes and concluded that the merger would not create significant obstacles to effective competition within the national market or in a substantial part of it.

This non-opposition decision indicates that the merger is unlikely to adversely affect market dynamics, allowing the companies to proceed with their consolidation without further regulatory hurdles.
