Adjusted EBITDA financial
"expect the asset to be accretive to Adjusted EBITDA from day one"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

sugarcane supply agreements financial
"including the Company’s owned sugarcane and sugarcane supply agreements"
renewable electricity technical
"over 1 million MWh of renewable electricity"
Electricity generated from naturally replenished sources such as sunlight, wind, flowing water and geothermal heat rather than from burning fossil fuels. Think of it like harvesting a perpetual resource—solar panels catching sunlight or wind turbines spinning in breezes—instead of using up a finite fuel. For investors, renewable electricity matters because it shapes long-term revenue potential, regulatory incentives, capital costs and competitive positioning as economies shift toward cleaner, more reliable power sources.

Adecoagro to Expand its S&E Cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul via Acquisition of Caarapó mill

LUXEMBOURG, July 20, 2026/PRNewswire/ -- Adecoagro S.A. (NYSE: AGRO) (“Adecoagro” or the “Company”), a leading sustainable production company in South America, announces that it has entered into an agreement with Raízen Group to acquire the Caarapó Mill, located in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, including the Company’s owned sugarcane and sugarcane supply agreements. The Transaction price is estimated at R$760 million (approximately US$148 million), subject to adjustments, and will be paid in cash upon closing. During the 2025/26 harvest season, the Caarapó Mill processed approximately 3.5 million tons of sugarcane. The acquisition is aligned with Adecoagro’s growth strategy of expanding its footprint in the region.

Caarapó mill is located in the municipality of Caarapó, Mato Grosso do Sul, approximately 100 km from Adecoagro’s Angélica and Ivinhema mills. The mill has the capacity to produce sugar, hydrous and anhydrous ethanol, as well as renewable energy.

Renato Junqueira Pereira, Adecoagro’s VP of the Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business commented "We view the acquisition of Caarapó as a natural extension of our current industrial footprint in Mato Grosso do Sul. Given its geographic proximity, the mill will be integrated into our Cluster strategy, allowing us to process additional sugarcane — including excess cane from our existing operations — while leveraging shared infrastructure, management, and best practices to replicate our competitive advantages, reinforce our low-cost production model, and meaningfully grow Caarapó’s crushing volume with limited incremental investment.”

We believe this is a transaction that makes strategic and financial sense, and one that will generate long-term value for our shareholders, as the mill organically integrates into our operations. Having established ourselves as one of the lowest-cost producers of sugar and ethanol globally, we have a clear path and proven methodology to unlock Caarapó’s full productive potential. Furthermore, we expect the asset to be accretive to Adjusted EBITDA from day one, with incremental upside as we capture operational synergies and deploy our know-how across an integrated cluster composed of three mills located in the same region.

Mariano Bosch, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Adecoagro, expressed: “We are very pleased with this transaction. Acquiring Caarapó will allow us to strengthen our S&E platform, while reinforcing our position among the lowest-cost producers in the industry.”

The completion of the transaction is subject to approval by the Brazilian Administrative Council for Economic Defense (Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Econômica – CADE) and the satisfaction of the other conditions precedent set forth in the agreement. The closing is expected to occur before October 1, 2026, after which the Caarapó Mill will be incorporated into Adecoagro’s Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business.
