Danone is struggling to sell its Earthbound Farms unit

Danone is finding it difficult to sell its Earthbound Farms business, showing that Campbell is not the only one that’s struggling to unload an organic grower.

France-based yogurt seller Danone has been trying since June to sell Earthbound Farms, a 47,000-acre organic vegetable and lettuce farm in California, according to a source.

Earthbound went from generating $70 million in Ebitda a few years ago to having negative Ebitda now, the source said. “It is losing money and getting little interest,” a source close to the JPMorgan-run auction said.

WhiteWave Foods in 2013 paid $600 million for Earthbound, and then Danone in 2017 bought WhiteWave for $12.5 billion.

The Earthbound auction is happening as Campbell is finding little interest among potential buyers for similar money-losing business Bolthouse Farms, as The Post reported exclusively Thursday.

Danone declined to comment.
