- SLC Agrícola S.A. is a Brazilian agricultural company founded in 1977 and headquartered in Porto Alegre, Brazil, specializing in the production and sale of a broad portfolio of crops including cotton, soybeans, corn, wheat, millet, crotalaria, sorghum, sesame, seed corn, popcorn, mung bean, and brachiaria. The company integrates crop production with cattle raising through an Integrated Crop-Livestock system aimed at enhancing sustainability and soil fertility. It operates 23 production units strategically located across seven Brazilian states, employing a hybrid business model comprising predominantly leased land, company-owned farms, and asset maximization, with a total planted area exceeding 730,000 hectares as of recent seasons. SLC Agrícola also owns the SLC Sementes brand, which produces and sells soybean and cotton seeds, and provides services including processing, trading, inbound logistics, cleaning, drying, and storage of agricultural products, along with machinery and equipment services. In the last two years, SLC Agrícola has significantly expanded its geographical footprint and operational capacity through the strategic acquisition of Sierentz Agro Brasil for approximately US$135 million, increasing its planted area by about 13-14% and diversifying land holdings to reduce climate risk exposure. This acquisition, along with ongoing initiatives to convert pastureland into cropland and implement advanced mechanized crop rotation systems, reinforces SLC Agrícola's position as a leading agricultural producer in Brazil and supports its long-term growth strategy focused on efficiency and sustainability in agricultural production and land management. The company continues to operate within the consumer staples agricultural products segment with a focus on domestic and international markets.
