US-IRELAND-BRAZIL-MERGER-AGRICULTURE-FOOD-CHIQUITA-FYFFE-FILES
(FILES) In this July 31, 2009 file photo Chiquita bananas are seen for sale inside Washington, DC's Eastern Market. Two Brazilian companies made a $611 million offer for US banana giant Chiquita August 11, 2014 that could derail Chiquita's merger with European rival Fyffes. Cutrale Group, one of Brazil's largest juice exporters, and investment bank Safra Group offered $13 a share for all of Chiquita's stock, 29 percent higher than the shares traded on August 8. The unsolicited offer challenged Chiquita's merger with Fyffes announced in March, which would create the world's largest banana company, with $4.6 billion in annual revenues. That proposal would allow Chiquita to avoid higher US taxes by relocating its statutory headquarters to Ireland. AFP Photo/Paul J. Richards / FILES
