On July 7, 2025, the Greek competition authority held a session where it unanimously approved the acquisition of control by LEADER Commercial Industrial Food Company over Greek Farms Commercial Company, as per Article 8, paragraph 3 of Law 3959/2011.

This acquisition grants LEADER exclusive control over Greek Farms, impacting the broader market for dairy products, including specific markets for butter and plant-based beverages within Greece.

The competition authority assessed the market shares of the involved companies and concluded that, despite the transaction falling under the scope of Article 6, paragraph 1 of Law 3959/2011, it does not alter competitive conditions significantly. Therefore, the merger does not raise serious doubts regarding its compatibility with competition requirements in the relevant markets.
