German chemical giant Monsanto is now able to begin integrating Bayer following the official divestment of certain Monsanto Crop Science businesses to BASF. Monsanto's takeover of Bayer closed on 7 June, but the integration of the companies was on hold until all divestments were completed, a requirement by the US Department of Justice, Monsanto said. The Crop Science business had a total sales volume of nearly €2.2bn ($2.5bn).
