Fertilizers

Our fertilizer plant has the capacity to produce up to 1.3 million tons of urea and 790 thousand tons of ammonia per year, and a storage capacity of 150 thousand tons of urea.

Since natural gas represents a significant portion of the production cost of urea, our plant secures its supply through medium-term contracts with leading Oil & Gas producers in the country. This, in turn, positions us among the lowest cost producers of urea in the world by leveraging on Argentina’s growing natural gas production.

Our assets are strategically located, enabling us to efficiently serve the different markets. At present, our urea is sold locally, since Argentina —and South America as a whole— are net importers of nitrogen fertilizers. As a result, we supply about 60% of Argentina’s urea needs. In addition, the plant’s proximity to the port of Bahía Blanca provides valuable export optionality for both urea and ammonia.

Marcos Sabelli

Marcos Sabelli

VP of the Fertilizers Business

Mr. Sabelli has served as VP of the Fertilizer business and has been a member of Adecoagro’s Senior Management since 2026. Before joining Adecoagro, he was appointed General Manager of Profertil by YPF, Argentina’s largest oil and gas producer and former shareholder of Profertil. Previously, Mr. Sabelli served as YPF’s VP of Strategy and Business Development until September 2022. He has over 25 years of experience in the oil industry, having joined YPF’s La Plata Industrial Complex in 1994. He holds a degree in Petroleum Engineering and a Master’s in Petroleum and Natural Gas Economics from the Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires (ITBA), as well as a diploma in Maritime Transport and Crude Oil Trade from the University of Cambridge and a diploma from the Executive Development Program at IAE Business School.

Dairy

Our vertically integrated model places special emphasis on animal welfare, efficiency and quality. We manage over 14,500 milking cows in our four free-stall facilities, situated in the Argentine Humid Pampas region, achieving productivity indicators well above national average. This production, together with raw milk purchased from third parties, is processed in our two industries and transformed into value-added products including ultra-high temperature (“UHT”) milk, powdered milk, semi-hard cheese, cream and chocolate milk, among other dairy products. We have the flexibility to sell to the export and domestic market (under our own brands —Las Tres Niñas, Apóstoles and Angelita—) based on relative profitability.

Furthermore, we have built two biodigesters that generate electricity by burning biogas extracted from effluents produced by our dairy cattle, which is sold to the local grid in Argentina.

Being vertically integrated allows us to control the supply chain, which in turn enhances efficiencies and increases margins, and provides us with the flexibility to shift sales across markets.

Rice

We own a fully integrated operation located in the northeast provinces of Argentina and in Uruguay, with plentiful sunlight and abundant water availability.

We have a seed unit where we develop our own seeds according to clients’ needs, which are later planted in 60,000 hectares of own and leased farms. We own six rice mills and one rice snack facility, where we produce different types of white and brown rice. We have the flexibility to sell our product into the export market, as well as in the domestic market under our own brands —Molinos Ala, Apóstoles, 53 and Mucho Gusto.

Having in place a vertically integrated business enables us to offer full product traceability to our customers, as well as to have a quick speed of reaction to respond to market opportunities.

Food & Agriculture

We produce a diversified portfolio of grains—including soybeans, corn, wheat, peanuts, sunflower, and different rice varieties—across the most productive regions of Argentina and Uruguay. Our production model combines regenerative agriculture practices and efficient irrigation technologies to optimize water and energy use, while improving yields and ensuring quality. We also produce dairy products, for which we ensure cow comfort and food safety to consistently deliver high-quality milk, while two biodigesters convert cow manure into biogas to generate renewable electricity for the local grid.

Through our vertically integrated model, we add value by processing our production in several industrial facilities—including 6 rice mills, 1 rice snacks plant, 2 dairy processing plants, 1 peanut processing plant, and 1 sunflower processing plant. We offer a broad portfolio of value-added products—UHT milk, powdered milk, cheeses, long-grain rice, parboiled rice, and double Carolina rice—which we commercialize in both domestic and export markets under our own brands.

Sugar, Ethanol & Energy

We grow sugarcane which we then process in our own mills to produce sugar, ethanol and energy. Our operations are located in the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Minas Gerais where we manage a sugarcane plantation of over 200,000 hectares, and have a total crushing capacity of 14.2 million tons of sugarcane distributed among three mills.

Given the combination of soil, weather and our state-of-the-art assets, we have developed competitive advantages which places us as one of the most efficient and low-cost producers in Brazil. These include:

Low competition for land, which translates into lower leasing costs.
Ability to crush sugarcane year-round – “continuous harvest model” – being one of the few players crushing cane during the interharvest period.
High asset flexibility to maximize the production of either sugar or ethanol, above Brazil’s industrial average.
Capacity to cogenerate energy in all our mills.

We sell ethanol in the domestic market as well as abroad, since we have the necessary certifications to export our production. Sugar is mostly sold into international markets, while a small portion is sold domestically under our own brand —Açúcar Monte Alegre—. As a large producer of renewable electricity, we can power our own operations and have excess to sell to the local grid via spot and long-term contracts. Due to the efficiency and sustainability in our operations we are a source of carbon credits; and we recycle our by-products and use them as biofertilizers in our fields and in the production of biomethane to power our fleet.
