- Molinos Agro S.A. is an Argentina-based agribusiness company engaged in the industrial processing, commercialization, and international merchandising of agricultural commodities and value-added derivatives. Established as an independent corporate entity in 2017 following a spin-off from Molinos Río de la Plata, which traces its operational origins back to 1902, the company is headquartered in Victoria, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, and operates as a core agribusiness division of the Perez Companc Group. Molinos Agro operates primarily across two principal segments: Industrial Processing and Grain Merchandising. Its product and service offerings comprise the processing and crushing of oilseeds to manufacture high-protein soybean meal, soybean pellets, and soybean hulls for global animal nutrition markets; crude, degummed, and refined soybean oil for food manufacturing and industrial applications; soybean-based biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester) and refined glycerin for the renewable energy and oleochemical industries; the origination, conditioning, bulk storage, and export trading of raw cereals and oilseeds, including corn, wheat, soybeans, barley, and sorghum; deep-water port terminal, warehousing, and river transshipment logistics conducted through its proprietary San Benito industrial and port complex located in San Lorenzo, Santa Fe Province, along the Paraná River waterway; and comprehensive agricultural origination solutions, including grain barter agreements, producer financing, and risk management services for domestic agricultural producers. Geographically, the company operates an extensive domestic origination footprint across Argentina's central agricultural grain belt and exports bulk commodities and value-added products to international clients across Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. In recent strategic and operational developments, Molinos Agro has accelerated its sustainable agriculture initiatives by implementing enhanced supply chain traceability protocols and securing international certification under the Biomass Biofuels Sustainability voluntary scheme (2BSvs) to comply with European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) standards for soybean meal and biofuel exports. Furthermore, the company has executed infrastructure and technological modernization programs to increase grain receiving and crushing efficiencies at the San Benito industrial complex, while reinforcing its financial liquidity and export pre-financing through the regular issuance of local and foreign currency-denominated corporate bonds (Obligaciones Negociables) in the Argentine capital markets.
