Viterra Operations Limited (Viterra) operates bulk wheat port terminals at Port Adelaide (Inner Harbour and Outer Harbor), Thevenard, Port Lincoln, Wallaroo and Port Giles and is a subsidiary of Glencore International Plc.

On 28 September 2011 the ACCC accepted, under Division 6 of Part IIIA of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA), the 2011 Undertaking provided to the ACCC by Viterra on 22 September 2011.

Viterra had earlier lodged a proposed Undertaking on 23 December 2010 that was subsequently withdrawn.
