Κατά το τρίτο οικονομικό τρίμηνο του 2021, η Universal Corporation (UVV) συνέχισε την υλοποίηση της στρατηγικής κατανομής κεφαλαίων της, επιδιώκοντας την ενίσχυση της παρουσίας της πέρα από τον βασικό της κλάδο, δηλαδή αυτόν του καπνού φύλλων. Στο πλαίσιο αυτής της κατανομής, ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δόθηκε στην επέκταση της πλατφόρμας φυτικών συστατικών μέσω στοχευμένων εξαγορών και στρατηγικών συγχωνεύσεων. Συγκεκριμένα, την 1η Οκτωβρίου 2020, η εταιρεία προχώρησε στην εξαγορά της εταιρείας Silva International, Inc. για το ποσό περίπου $ 164 εκατομμυρίων. Η Silva, με δραστηριότητα στον χώρο των αποξηραμένων φυτικών συστατικών, ενσωματώθηκε λειτουργικά με τη θυγατρική FruitSmart, με στόχο τη δημιουργία συνεργειών και την παροχή μιας ενιαίας πλατφόρμας λύσεων σε προϊόντα φρούτων και λαχανικών. Η κίνηση αυτή εντάσσεται στη γενικότερη στρατηγική της UVV για διαφοροποίηση της δραστηριότητάς της, εξερεύνηση μη καπνικών αγορών και ενίσχυση της μακροπρόθεσμης αξίας για τους μετόχους. Παράλληλα, στο ίδιο τρίμηνο, η εταιρεία αποφάσισε να τερματίσει τη δραστηριότητα επεξεργασίας γλυκοπατάτας της θυγατρικής Carolina Innovative Food Ingredients (CIFI). Η απόφαση αυτή ελήφθη λόγω στρατηγικής ασυμβατότητας της δραστηριότητας με τον ευρύτερο επιχειρησιακό σχεδιασμό, καθώς και εξαιτίας των έντονων ανταγωνιστικών πιέσεων στην εν λόγω αγορά.
