Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Co. (SALIC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), announced today, Nov. 10, acquiring a 9.2% stake in India's LT Foods.

In a statement, SALIC added that the acquisition, valued at nearly SAR 208 million, was carried out through increasing SALIC's capital and owning shares from major shareholders.
