Things are finally moving at Australia’s biggest horticultural company.

Street Talk understands New York private equity firm Paine Schwartz Partners will announce a revised takeover bid for Costa Group on Monday. It is unclear what the new price will be but considering Costa issued a profit warning last month, expectations are it will fall as much as 30 per cent below the previous offer.
