Thank you for Subscribing to Agri Business Review Weekly Brief
As global focus sharpens on responsible resource use and food security, Adecoagro stands out as a leading agribusiness innovator in South America. Operating in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, the company leverages the region’s fertile lands to produce sustainable food, renewable energy and value-added agricultural products for the global market.
Since 2002, Adecoagro has focused on optimizing natural resources to produce essential goods in a sustainable, scalable and socially responsible manner. Today, the company cultivates over 220,000 hectares of productive land and operates integrated farming, dairy, sugar, ethanol and energy generation businesses. Its goal is to be the region’s most efficient, innovative and sustainable food and energy producer.
While many agribusiness companies focus on scale alone, Adecoagro employs an integrated model that maximizes land use, minimizes waste, and closes resource loops. Crop rotation preserves soil health while biogas and cogeneration technologies power its facilities. Notably, sugarcane waste is transformed into renewable electricity. Each initiative reflects Adecoagro’s core philosophy: producing more food and energy with less environmental impact.
Adecoagro’s purpose is to produce food and renewable energy sustainably. This commitment to sustainability and innovation is evident across Adecoagro’s business segments. In farming, Adecoagro produces grains, oilseeds, rice and peanuts, using precision agriculture technologies and no-till practices to improve yields while preserving biodiversity. In dairy, it operates South America’s largest and most advanced free-stall dairy farm, built to prioritize animal welfare, productivity and environmental control.
Meanwhile, Adecoagro’s sugar, ethanol and energy operations rank among the most efficient globally. With vertically integrated mills in Brazil, it produces anhydrous and hydrous ethanol, raw sugar and electricity from sugarcane biomass. Over 100 percent of the electricity used in its operations is generated from renewable sources—making its energy business self-sufficient and a net contributor to Brazil’s energy grid.
Adecoagro’s impact is deeply rooted in social and environmental responsibility. It invests heavily in community development, education, and infrastructure across its operating regions. Guided by a strong environmental, social and governance framework, Adecoagro regularly traces and reports its carbon footprint, water use and circular economy initiatives. Transparency, traceability and accountability are embedded in every layer of the business.
Amid growing demands for resilient food systems and cleaner energy solutions, Adecoagro stands as a model for integrated, sustainable agribusiness. With over two decades of disciplined growth, a diversified portfolio and a future-focused mindset, the company is well-positioned to lead the next chapter in food and energy production in South America and beyond.
