Today, Federico Vecchioni, CEO of BF Spa, an agro-industrial group listed on the Milan Stock Exchange, has reached an agreement for the acquisition of 5.13% of BF Spa shares from PER Spa, owned by Carlo De Benedetti.

The market context, in which the group is positioned today, attributes solidity and certainty in the results for those of us who believe in the Italian agri-food supply chain and in the ability to generate value from the winning union of innovation and tradition.
