China Fishery Group said it expects to integrate its newly acquired fishmeal and oil operations in Peru, Copeinca, before the start of the year?s first Peruvian anchovy season in April/May.
" The group expects to integrate its enlarged fishmeal and fish oil operations during the second quarter of  FY2014 [January to end March 2014]," said the company  in its latest quarterly report.
This will allow it " to fully benefit from synergies arising from the acquisition of Copeinca when the 2014 first fishing  season commences in April/May 2014" , it said.
The company added it plans to  refinance the $354 million bridge loan it raised to finance the acquisition within the first three months of 2014.
