A rescue deal for Vicentin SAIC, a major soymeal supplier, led by Viterra and Bunge, is at risk because of court delays in a provincial bankruptcy case. Argentina's worst drought in living memory is also cited as a factor.
The deal would restructure $1.3 billion of debt.
Uncertainty over Vicentin's operations, combined with drought-reduced crushing, tightens expected meal and oil supply from Argentina, the top meal and soyoil exporter. That supports soymeal and soyoil prices.
