Crop trader Bunge Global SA said its $8.2 billion acquisition of Viterra Inc. will be delayed as the company is still awaiting regulatory approval from several governments including China, Canada and the European Union.

The St. Louis-based trader, which had set a goal to finalize the deal by mid-year, said the transaction would be completed in the next several months. Bloomberg reported earlier this month that the deal faced a risk of being delayed.
