Agricultural SLC
SLC Agrícola, a company founded in 1977 by the SLC Group, became a reference in the agricultural sector by being one of the first companies to have its shares traded on the Stock Exchange. Headquartered in Porto Alegre and with 23 production units spread across seven Brazilian states, the company has established itself as a world leader in efficiency in the agricultural business.
To achieve this objective, SLC Agrícola adopts a hybrid business model comprising three main approaches: Asset Light Business Model, Maximization of Asset Use and Own Land Use. These practices allow the company to achieve organic growth through productivity, in addition to acquisitions and leasing of mature farms to maximize results.
However, the company also invests in Crop-Livestock Integration (ILP), which allows it to produce a “third crop”, thus generating a more stable environment for the soil. Second crop cultivation also contributes to a more rational use of production factors, with lower production costs.
These investments not only aim to obtain economically viable sustainable results, but also to preserve the environment. Therefore, the company maintains its commitment to the planet and future generations, seeking to have a positive impact through its work. Therefore, it believes that those who are passionate about what they do are committed and can produce services of superior quality. This stance has been recognized with lasting and ethical relationships between all parties interested in SLC Agrícola's processes.
As a result, the company has been conquering more and more space in the agribusiness Brazilian, having planted 672,4 thousand hectares in the 2021/2022 harvest. This year promises to bring even more advances to SLC Agrícola, which remains firm in the search for an increasingly modern and sustainable agriculture.
