          This free writing prospectus relates only to this offering and updates the preliminary prospectus dated January 25, 2011, included in Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-171683). On January 28, 2011, we filed Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement. The following information updates and supplements the preliminary prospectus dated January 25, 2011 with information that is reflected in the preliminary prospectus dated January 28, 2011 included in Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement. Please refer to the preliminary prospectus dated January 28, 2011, which is included in Amendment No. 3, for the full contents thereof, which can be accessed through the following link: http:\\www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1499505/000095012311006362/y87804a3fv1za.htm
***************************
THE OFFERING
          We are offering 28,405,925 common shares, and the selling shareholders are offering 165,503 common shares. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the common shares sold by the selling shareholders.
          Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common shares. The initial public offering price of the common shares is expected to be between $11.00 and $12.00 per share. Our common shares have been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “AGRO”.
          We have entered into an agreement, which we refer to as the Al Gharrafa Transaction, with Al Gharrafa Investment Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Qatar Holding LLC and one of our shareholders, which we refer to as “Al Gharrafa”, pursuant to which we will sell to Al Gharrafa a number of common shares equal to an aggregate purchase price of 25% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the offering to the Company and the selling shareholders, excluding the underwriters’ over-allotment option. These shares will be purchased by Al Gharrafa at a purchase price per share equal to the price per common share paid by the underwriters in this offering. Assuming an initial public offering price of $11.50 per share (the midpoint of the range), Al Gharrafa will purchase 7,440,476 common shares (at an assumed price of $11.04). The sale of common shares to Al Gharrafa is conditioned upon, and will close immediately after, the closing of this offering. However, this offering is not conditioned upon the closing of the sale of common shares to Al Gharrafa.
          We have granted the underwriters an option to purchase a maximum of 4,285,714 additional common shares to cover over-allotments.

USE OF PROCEEDS
          We expect to receive $308,476,412 of net proceeds from the sale of shares by us in this offering, after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions and estimated expenses incurred in connection with this offering, based on an assumed offering price of $11.50 per share, the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover page of the preliminary prospectus dated January 28, 2011 and assuming that the over-allotment option is not exercised. If the underwriters fully exercise their over-allotment option, we expect to receive $355,790,695 of net proceeds. An increase (decrease) of $1.00 in the assumed price per share of $11.50 would increase (decrease) the net proceeds in connection with this offering by $27,269,688 (assuming the over-allotment option is not exercised).
          In addition, we expect to receive $82 million of net proceeds from the sale of shares by us to Al Gharrafa in the Al Gharrafa Transaction, based on an assumed price per share equal to $11.04 per share to be paid by Al Gharrafa, reflecting the price paid by the underwriters in this offering assuming the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover page of the preliminary prospectus dated January 28, 2011. Al Gharrafa is only obligated to purchase an amount of common shares equivalent to 25% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the offering to the Company and the Selling Shareholders, excluding the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at the price per common share paid by the underwriters.

DILUTION
 
We have a pro forma net tangible book value of $7.89 per common share. Our pro forma net tangible book value represents the amount of our pro forma total assets (excluding only pro forma goodwill) less our pro forma total liabilities and pro forma non controlling interests, calculated at September 30, 2010, divided by 79,999,985, the total number of our common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2010 after giving pro forma effect to the Reorganization and the Reverse Stock Split. For additional information on our Reorganization, please see “Business — Corporate Structure and Reorganization” in the preliminary prospectus dated January 28, 2011. For more information on the Reverse Stock Split, please see “Summary — Recent Developments” in the preliminary prospectus dated January 28, 2011.
 
After giving effect to the sale of 28,405,925 common shares in this offering at an assumed initial public offering price of $11.50 per share, the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover page of the preliminary prospectus dated January 28, 2011, assuming that the underwriters have not exercised their over-allotment option, and after deduction of the estimated discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and after giving effect of the sale of 7,440,476 common shares (at an assumed price per share reflecting the price paid by the underwriters in this offering assuming the mid-point of the range set forth on the cover page of the preliminary prospectus dated January 28, 2011) in the Al Gharrafa Transaction, assuming it is consummated (see “Business — Offering Transactions and Sale to Al Gharrafa Investment Company” in the preliminary prospectus dated January 28, 2011), our pro forma net tangible book value estimated as of the date of the preliminary prospectus dated January 28, 2011 would have been approximately $1,022 million, or $8.82 per common share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.93 per common share to our existing shareholders and an immediate pro forma dilution of $2.68 per common share to purchasers of common shares in this offering. Dilution for this purpose represents the difference between the price per common share paid by these purchasers and pro forma net tangible book value per common share immediately after the completion of the offering and the Al Gharrafa Transaction.
 
The following table illustrates this dilution to new investors purchasing common shares, on a per share basis:
 
         
Assumed offering price per common share
  $ 11.50  
Pro forma net tangible book value per common share as of September 30, 2010
  $ 7.89  
Increase in pro forma net tangible book value per common share attributable to new investors
  $ 0.93  
Pro forma net tangible book value per common share after the offering and the Al Gharrafa Transaction
  $ 8.82  
Dilution per common share to new investors
  $ 2.68  
Percentage of dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per common share
    23 %
 
Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the offering price per common share would increase (decrease) the pro forma net tangible book value after this offering and, assuming it is consummated, the Al Gharrafa Transaction by $0.30 per common share, assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters.
 
The preceding tables are based on our common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2010, after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, and assume no exercise of any outstanding stock options (See “Management — Share Options — Adecoagro/IFH 2004 Stock Incentive Option Plan and Adecoagro/IFH 2007/2008 Equity Incentive Plan” in the preliminary prospectus dated January 28, 2011).
