A decision on whether the Austrlian-based soft drink producer Coca-Cola Amatil will buy the country’s juice producer Berri will not occur until at least the end of September, Terry Davis managing director said.

C-C Amatil is currently in talks to buy Berri for what could reach A$400m. However, talks have apparently stalled in recent days over fears Berri’s plants are too old.
