After receiving the permits of the Lithuanian and Polish competition authorities, AB Linas Agro Group today signed an agreement with UK based company Environmental Development Holding Limited for the acquisition of 100% shares of UAB Agro Logistic Service. The transaction amount is EUR 1.7 million.
