The milkman cometh.
As the smoke from the US$18 billion Parmalat accounting explosion
began to clear, the Italian government's appointed company
administrator Enrico Bondi launched a global corporate restructuring
plan, which includes selling subsidiaries in 20 of the company's 30
countries of operation. The Italian dairy producer is expected to divest
assets in Argentina, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Uruguay.
Parmalat Brasil, the company's largest Latin American operation and
source of 10% of Parmalat's total revenue, appointed a new board of
executives to review whether to sell some or all of the company's
Brazilian assets, which have a total debt of $2.5 billion.
