    Viterra’s (ASX:VTA) directors have backed a takeover bid from Glencore International.



    Both companies have inked an agreement that values Viterra at about $5.7 billion.



    Gencore has offered Viterra’s shareholders $C16.25, a 48 per cent premium to its closing price before speculation of the takeover appeared.



    If the deal proceeds both companies plan to sell the majority of Viterra’s Canadian assets for $US2.8 billion.
