Background
As part of a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”), Adecoagro, a Luxembourg corporation under the form of a société anonyme, was formed as a holding company for IFH for the purpose, among others, of facilitating the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of our common shares, completed on January 28, 2011. Before the IPO, Adecoagro had not engaged in any business or other activities except in connection with its formation and the Reorganization. For an additional discussion of the Reorganization, see “Item 4. Information on the Company—A. History and Development of the Company—History.”
During 2011, we contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to increase our interest in IFH from 98% to 98.64%. During 2012, we issued, in a series of transactions, 1,654,752 shares to certain limited partners of IFH in exchange for their residual interest in IFH, totaling 1.3595%, thereby increasing our interest in IFH to approximately 100%. During 2015 IFH was merged into Adecoagro LP, our wholly-owned subsidiary. For further information please see "Item 4 - A. History and development of the Company - General Information".
The Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 (hereinafter, the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. All IFRS effective at the time of preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements have been applied.
Description of accounting policies that changed during 2020 and 2019
Reclassification
During the period ended September 30, 2020, the Company changed its accounting policy related to the application of IAS 29, Inflation Accounting, that was implemented in 2018. The cumulative initial effect of inflation accounting until December 31, 2017 divided by the exchange rate at that date was recognized directly in equity, in the line “Adjustment of opening balance for the application of IAS 29”, as part of retained earnings. The ongoing effect of hyperinflation adjustment and retranslation of comparative amounts to closing exchange rates after initial recognition was recognized in Other Comprehensive Income, as part of the cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”).
The Company has changed its accounting policy for the presentation of the effect of the initial application of IAS 29, and reclassified it to Other Comprehensive Income, as part of the cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”); instead of presenting it within retained earnings. This change in the presentation policy was adopted in order to provide uniformity of disclosure for the same concept and only required a reclassification of the constituent elements of the equity and did not affect total shareholders equity.
v

In addition, and related to hyperinflation accounting, the Company has also changed its accounting policy for the presentation of finance income /expense. Until June 2020, the Company did not segregate the impact of inflation on financial results. The company has decided to change its presentation policy and segregate the impact of inflation over financial results, considering the segregation of such effects provides reliable and more relevant information. Financial results will be presented reflecting interest and exchange difference, net of its inflation effects. This change represents only a reclassification within Financial results and does not have any impact on total financial results, net or net income.
Both changes have been reflected in the comparative periods, thus, comparative figures have been restated. See Note 34 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Description of accounting policies that changed during 2019
Leases
IFRS 16 - Leases - was adopted following the simplified approach, without restating comparative figures. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new lease accounting rules were directly recognized in the opening balance sheet on January 1, 2019.
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases, which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17 Leases. For the initial recognition, these liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, and discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019.
The adoption of IFRS 16 Leases from January 1, 2019, resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements. For further details see Note 34 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Financial Statements
Non-IFRS Financial Measures
To supplement our Consolidated Financial Statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, we use the following non-IFRS financial measures in this annual report, which are based on the information that arose from segment information (Note 3 of our Consolidated Financial Statements).
•Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA
•Adjusted Segment EBITDA
•Adjusted Consolidated EBIT
•Adjusted Segment EBIT
•Adjusted Free Cash Flow
•Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations
•Net Debt
•Net Debt to Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA
In this section, we provide an explanation and a reconciliation of each of our non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS.
We use non-IFRS measures to internally evaluate and analyze financial results. We believe these non-IFRS financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about the liquidity and financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other public companies, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures.
There are limitations associated with the use of non-IFRS financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our IFRS financial measures reflect the exclusion of items, such as depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, changes in fair value and the related income tax effects of the aforementioned exclusions, that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures
vi

may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes.
Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA, Adjusted Segment EBITDA, Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT
We present Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA, Adjusted Segment EBITDA, Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT in this annual report as supplemental measures of performance of our company and of each operating segment, respectively, that are not required by, or presented in accordance with IFRS.
Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA equals the sum of our Adjusted Segment EBITDA for each of our operating segments. We define “Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA” as (i) consolidated net profit (loss) for the year, as applicable, before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets, net gain from fair value adjustments of investment property land foreign exchange gains or losses, other net financial results; and (ii) adjusted by profit or loss from discontinued operations; (iii) adjusted by those items, that do not impact profit and loss, but are recorded directly in shareholders' equity, including (a) the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, reflected under the line item: "Reserve from the sale of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries” and (b) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus of retained earnings; and (iv) net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 from the Argentine operations included in profit from operations. (See "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — A. Operating Results - Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.")
We define “Adjusted Segment EBITDA” for each of our operating segments as (i) the segment’s share of consolidated profit (loss) from operations before financing and taxation per segment information for the year, as applicable, before depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortization of intangible assets; and (ii) adjusted by profit or loss from discontinued operations; (iii) adjusted by those items, that do not impact profit and loss, but are recorded directly in shareholders' equity, including (a) the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, reflected under the line item: "Reserve from the sale of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries” and (b) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus of retained earnings.
We believe that Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are important measures of operating performance for our company and each operating segment, respectively, because they allow investors to evaluate and compare our consolidated operating results and to evaluate and compare the operating performance of our segments, respectively, including our return on capital and operating efficiencies, from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax consequences (income taxes), foreign exchange gains or losses and other financial results. In addition, by including the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, investors can also evaluate and compare the full value and returns generated by our land transformation activities. Other companies may calculate Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA differently, and therefore our Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to consolidated net profit (loss), cash flows from operating activities, segment’s profit from operations before financing and taxation and other measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Items excluded from Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are significant and necessary components to the operations of our business, and, therefore, Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA should only be used as a supplemental measure of our company’s operating performance, and of each of our operating segments, respectively. We also believe Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA are useful for securities analysts, investors and others to evaluate and compare the financial performance of our company and other companies in the agricultural industry. These non-IFRS measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, the information contained in either our statements of income or segment information.
Our Adjusted Consolidated EBIT equals the sum of our Adjusted Segment EBITs for each of our operating segments. We define “Adjusted Consolidated EBIT” as (i) consolidated net profit (loss) for the year, as applicable, before interest expense, income taxes, foreign exchange gains or losses and other net financial results; and (ii) adjusted by profit or loss from discontinued operations ; (iii) adjusted by gains or losses from disposals of non controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset farmland ; and (iv) net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 from the Argentine operations included in profit from operations. We define “Adjusted Segment EBIT” for each of our operating segments as the segment’s share of (i) consolidated profit (loss) from operations before financing and taxation as per segment information for the year, as applicable; and (ii) adjusted by profit or loss from discontinued operations; and (iii) adjusted by those items, that do not impact profit and loss, but are recorded directly in shareholders' equity, including (a) the gains or losses from disposals of
vii

non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland, reflected under the line item: "Reserve from the sale of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries”; (b) the net increase in value of sold farmland, which has been recognized in either revaluation surplus of retained earnings.
We believe that Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT are important measures of operating performance, for our company and each operating segment, respectively, because they allow investors to evaluate and compare our consolidated operating results and to evaluate and compare the operating performance of our segments, from period to period by including the impact of depreciable fixed assets and removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), tax consequences (income taxes), foreign exchange gains or losses and other financial results. In addition, by including the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland and also the sale of farmlands, investors can evaluate the full value and returns generated by our land transformation activities. Other companies may calculate Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT differently, and therefore our Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT are not measures of financial performance under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to consolidated net profit (loss), cash flows from operating activities, segment’s profit from operations before financing and taxation and other measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Items excluded from Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT are significant and necessary components to the operations of our business, and, therefore, Adjusted Consolidated EBIT and Adjusted Segment EBIT should only be used as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of our company, and of each of our operating segments, respectively.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations
We believe that the measures of Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations are important measures of liquidity that enable investors to draw important comparisons year to year of the amount of cash generated by the Company’s principal business and financing activities, which includes the cash generated from our land transformation activities, after paying for recurrent items, including interest, taxes and maintenance capital expenditures.
We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as (i) net cash generated from operating activities net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 to the Argentine operations, less (ii) net cash used in investing activities net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21, less (iii) interest paid net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 to the Argentine operations, plus (iv) proceeds from the sale of non-controlling interest in farming subsidiaries; less (v) lease payments. We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations as (i) net cash generated from operating activities net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 less (ii) net cash used in investing activities net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21, less (iii) interest paid net of the combined effect of the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 to the Argentine operations, plus (iv) proceeds from the sale of non-controlling interest in subsidiaries; less (v) lease payments; plus (vi) expansion capital expenditures. (See "Item 3. Key Information— A Selected Financial Data." and "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — A. Operating Results -- Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates"
Expansion capital expenditures is defined as the required investment to expand current production capacity including organic growth, joint ventures and acquisitions. We define maintenance capital expenditures as the necessary investments in order to maintain the current level of productivity both at an agricultural and industrial level. Proceeds from the sale of non-controlling interest in farming subsidiaries is a measure of the cash generated from our land transformation business that is included under cash from financing activities pursuant to IFRS.
We believe Adjusted Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure for the Company because it allows investors and others to evaluate and compare the amount of cash generated by the Company business and financing activities to undertake growth investments, to fund acquisitions, to reduce outstanding financial debt, and to provide a return to shareholders in the form of dividends and/or share repurchases, among other things.
We believe Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations is an additional important liquidity metric for the Company because it allows investors and others to evaluate and compare the total amount of cash generated by the Company’s business and financing activities after paying for recurrent items including interests, taxes and maintenance capital expenses. We believe this metric is relevant in evaluating the overall performance of our business.
Other companies may calculate Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations differently, and therefore our formulation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow from Operations are not measures of liquidity under IFRS, and should not be considered in
viii

isolation or as an alternative to consolidated, cash flows from operating activities, net increase, (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and other measures determined in accordance with IFRS.
Net Debt and Net Debt to Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA
Net debt is defined as the sum of non-current and current borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. This measure is widely used by management.
Management is consistently tracking our leverage position and our ability to repay and service our debt obligations over time. We have therefore set a leverage ratio target that is measured by net debt divided by Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA.
We believe that the ratio net debt to Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA provides useful information to investors because management uses it to manage our debt-equity ratio in order to promote access to capital markets and our ability to meet scheduled debt service obligations.
Fiscal Year and Harvest Year
Our fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31 of each year. However, our production is based on the harvest year for each of our crops and rice. A harvest year varies according to the crop or rice and to the climate in which it is grown. Due to the geographic diversity of our farms, the planting period for a given crop or rice may start earlier on one farm than on another, causing differences in their respective harvesting periods. The presentation of production volume (tons) and product area (hectares) in this annual report, in respect of the harvest years for each of our crops and rice, starts with the first day of the planting period at the first farm to start planting on that harvest year and continues to the last day of the harvesting period of the respective crop or rice on the last farm to finish harvesting that harvest year, as shown in the table below.
Product area for cattle is presented on a harvest year basis given that land utilized for cattle operations is linked to our farming operations and use of farmland during a harvest year. Production volumes for dairy and cattle operations are presented on a fiscal year basis. On the other hand, production volumes and product area in our sugar, ethanol and energy business are presented on a fiscal year basis.
The financial results for all of our products are presented on a fiscal year basis.

IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy to be adjusted for the effects of changes in a suitable general price index and to be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period. Accordingly, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be computed in the non-monetary items.
In order to conclude on whether an economy is categorized as hyperinflationary under the terms of IAS 29, the Standard details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of a cumulative inflation rate in three years that approximates or exceeds 100 %.
Since 2018, when cumulative inflation rate in three years exceeded the 100% threshold, Argentina´s operations are considered to be under hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes under the terms of IAS 29 and since then, it has been applied IAS 29 in the financial reporting of its subsidiaries and associates with Argentine peso as functional currency.

D. RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the information contained in this annual report, particularly the risks described below, as well as in our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Our business activities, cash flow, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any of the risks and uncertainties below. The market price of our common shares may decrease due to any of these risks or other factors, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations.
For purposes of this section, the indication that a risk, uncertainty or problem may or will have a “material adverse effect on us” or that we may experience a “material adverse effect” means that the risk, uncertainty or problem could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations and/or the market price of our common shares, except as otherwise indicated or as the context may otherwise require. Investors should view similar expressions in this section as having a similar meaning.
Summary of Risk Factors
The risks facing us and our business are many and varied. Set forth below is a summary of the risk factors more fully described herein.
The risks related to our business and industries include risks related to:
• health epidemics, and the COVID-19 in particular, that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and results of operations;
• unpredictable weather conditions, including as a result of climate change, pest infestations and diseases that may have an adverse impact on agricultural production;
• fluctuations in market prices for our products that could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations;
• the relationship between the price of ethanol and sugar to the price of oil, so that a decline in the price of sugar or a decline in the price of oil will adversely affect our sugar and ethanol businesses;
• the expansion of our business through acquisitions, which poses risks that may reduce the benefits we anticipate from these transactions;
• increases in the price of raw materials we use in our operations, or the shortage of such raw materials, that could adversely affect our results of operations;
• increases in energy prices and frequent interruptions of energy supply that could adversely affect our business;
• our dependence on stable international trade and economic and other conditions in key export markets for our products;
• a worldwide economic downturn that could weaken demand for our products or lower prices;
• the seasonality of our business and our results, which may fluctuate significantly depending on the growing cycle of our crops;
• potential diseases to our dairy cattle;
• significant competition from Brazilian and foreign producers, which could adversely affect our financial performance;
• our current insurance coverage, which may not be sufficient to cover our potential losses;
• a reduction in market demand for ethanol or a change in governmental policies reducing the amount of ethanol required to be added to gasoline, which may adversely affect our business;
• competition from alternative fuels, products and production methods;
• the lack of liquidity of a substantial portion of our assets constituted by farmland;
10

• the agriculture partnership agreements in respect of a significant portion of our sugarcane plantations and associated risks;
• labor disputes from time to time that may adversely affect us;
• a failure to possess all of the permits and licenses required to operate our business, or failure to renew or maintain the licenses and permits we currently hold;
• extensive environmental regulation, and concerns regarding climate change that may subject us to even stricter environmental regulations;
• the agricultural commodities and food products we produce that contain genetically modified organisms ("GMO");
• increased regulation of food safety that could increase our costs and adversely affect our results of operations;
• IFRS accounting standards related to biological assets that require us to make numerous estimates in the preparation of our financial statements and therefore limit the comparability of our financial statements to similar issuers using U.S. GAAP;
• our substantial indebtedness which could impair their financial condition and decrease the amount of dividends we receive;
• fluctuations in interest rates that could have a significant impact on our results of operations, indebtedness and cash flow;
• our failure to be able to renew our credit lines when they mature, depriving us of needed liquidity;
• the risk that we could be treated as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could materially increase our U.S. federal income tax liability and subject any dividends we pay to U.S. federal withholding tax;
• the risk that ee may be classified by the IRS as a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”), which may result in adverse tax consequences for U.S. investors; and
• anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and other international trade laws and regulations.
We also confront risks associated with the countries in which we operate, primarily in Argentina and Brazil, which include risks related to:
• operating in emerging markets, which makes our results of operations and financial condition dependent upon economic conditions in those countries in which we operate with any decline in economic conditions potentially harming our results of operations or financial condition;
• the economies of the countries in which we operate, which may be adversely affected by the deterioration of other global markets;
• the governments in the economies in which we operate have a high degree of influence, which could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition;
• currency exchange rate fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar in the countries in which we operate;
• inflation in some of the countries in which we operate, along with governmental measures to curb inflation, which may have a significant negative effect on the economies of those countries and, as a result, on our financial condition and results of operations;
• the impact of inflation on our operating costs in Argentina, which are denominated in Argentine Pesos and most of our operating costs in Brazil, which denominated in Brazilian Reais;
• disruption of transportation and logistics services, insufficient investment in public infrastructure or disruption to any aspect of the supply chain which could adversely affect our operating results;
• security breaches and other disruptions that could compromise our technology infrastructure and information and expose us to processes disruption and liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer;
• failure to comply with data protection laws which could adversely affect our business;
• the measures taken or to be implemented by the Argentine government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which may have an adverse effect on our business and operations;
• Argentine economic and political conditions and perceptions of these conditions in the international market that may have a direct impact on our business and our access to international capital and debt markets, and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition;
• continuing inflation, increase of unemployment, decline in GDP, peso depreciation, and/or other future economic, social and political developments in Argentina, over which we have no control, that may adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations;
• the impact of the Argentine congressional and presidential elections on the future economic and political environment of Argentina;
• the economy of Argentina and the government’s limited access to financing from international markets and the result of failure to pay its debt obligations and the current debt restructuring process;
11

• high and possibly increasing inflation in Argentina and uncertainty surrounding future inflation rates may have an adverse impact for Argentina in the long-term credit market;
• government intervention in Argentina which may have a direct impact on our prices and sales;
• salary increases ordered by the Argentine government to be paid to employees in the private sector, or imposed additional charges, which would increase our operating costs;
• Argentine law concerning foreign ownership of rural properties which may adversely affect our results of operations and future investments in rural properties in Argentina;
• increase in export and import duties and controls which may have an adverse impact on our sales;
• exchange controls that restrict the inflow and outflow of funds in Argentina and may substantially limit the our ability to retain or obtain foreign currency or make payments abroad;
• scanges in the Argentine tax laws that may adversely affect the results of our operations, financial condition and cash flows;
• measures taken or to be implemented by the Brazilian government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that may cause adverse effect on our business and operations;
• Brazilian economic and political conditions and perceptions of these conditions in international markets that may have a direct impact on our business and our access to international capital and debt markets, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition;
• changes in Brazilian tax laws that may have a material adverse impact on the taxes applicable to our business and may increase our tax burden;
• widespread corruption and fraud relating to ownership of real estate that may adversely affect our business, especially our land transformation business;
• social movements and the possibility of expropriation and constitution of public easement that may affect the normal use of, damage, or deprive us of the use of or fair value of, our properties;
• Brazilian rules concerning foreign investment in rural properties that may adversely affect our investments;
• The Brazilian government’s significant influence over the Brazilian economy, which, combined with Brazilian political and economic conditions, may adversely affect us;
• allegations of political corruption against the Brazilian government and the Brazilian legislative branch that could create economic and political instability;
• restrictions on the movement of capital out of Brazil that may impair our ability to receive payments from our Brazilian Subsidiaries and restrict their ability to make payments in U.S. dollars; and
• the impact of governmental regulation in Brazil.
As a Luxembourg corporation (“société anonyme”) we are also exposed to risks that relate to:
• difficulty for our shareholders to obtain or enforce judgments against us or our executive officers and directors in the United States;
• difficulty for our shareholders in protecting their interests than as shareholders of a U.S. corporation;
• Luxembourg and European Union insolvency and bankruptcy laws and regulations which are substantially different from U.S. insolvency laws and may offer our shareholders less protection than they would have under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy laws;
• the inability of shareholders to participate in equity offerings, and failure to receive any value for rights that we may grant;
Risks Related to Our Business and Industries
We may be exposed to risks related to health epidemics, and the COVID-19 in particular, that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and results of operations.
The global impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and measures taken to reduce the spread of the virus have had an adverse effect on the global macroeconomic environment and may continue to create continued economic uncertainty and reduced economic activity. The outbreak has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place or total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns.
Governments around the globe have taken steps to mitigate some of the more severe economic effects of the virus, but there can be no assurance that such steps will be effective or achieve their desired results in a timely fashion or at all. The speed and extent of the spread of COVID-19, and the duration and intensity of resulting business disruption and related financial and social impact, are still uncertain, and such adverse effects on our business and financial position may still be material.
12

In the first six months of 2020, our Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business, experienced a decrease in prices of ethanol due to the decrease in international oil prices, and a decrease in demand as a consequence of the reduced circulation of people in response to the pandemic. In light of these factors, we slowed down our crushing pace, implemented a cost reduction plan and maintained the workforce sized to our operational needs. As signs of a partial recovery started to emerge, we revamped our operations and accelerated our crushing pace during the second semester, more than offsetting the lower initial crushing.
The Company could be negatively affected if a significant number of personnel including management and personnel at its farming and industrial operations are infected with the COVID-19 virus and/or its variants or are quarantined as the result of, or in order to avoid, exposure to the virus. During 2020, a select number of our personnel at one of our peanut production plants were infected with the COVID-19 virus but our operations were not affected. Similarly a limited number of other personnel throughout the organization were infected with the COVID-19 virus without materially impacting our operations. While governmental agencies and private sector participants are seeking to mitigate the adverse effects of this coronavirus, including measures such as heightened sanitary practices, telecommuting, quarantine, curtailment or cessation of travel, and other restrictions, and the medical community is developing and administering vaccines and other treatment options, the timing and efficacy of such measures is uncertain. These and other responses could impact the ability to harvest, produce and market our products, the availability of those who make the decision to purchase our products and the ultimate demand for our products.
Commodity markets have been and may also be disrupted with attendant effects on demand for some of our products. For example, the Chinese market is a significant source of global demand for the commodities we sell, including soy and corn, and a reduction in demand from China may have a significant effect on commodity prices and demand and potentially broader impacts on our supply chain or the global economy.
Further, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including the spread of virus variants, and any possible future outbreaks of viruses may have a significant adverse effect on us. Firstly, a spread of such diseases amongst our employees, as well as any quarantines affecting them or our facilities could adversely impact the productivity of our personnel and thereby affect our operations, which can impact the quality and continuity of our activities and our reputation. Secondly, the current COVID-19 pandemic and any possible future outbreaks of viruses may have an adverse effect on our suppliers and/or transportation companies used to distribute our products. Thirdly, any quarantines or spread of viruses may adversely affect the demand of our products from end-consumers.
Additionally, our operations may be adversely affected by the wider macroeconomic effect of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, the prospects for diminished economic growth may continue resulting in a recession or diminishing growth in several countries, including Argentina and Brazil, due to the reduction of the economic activities. The final effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could have substantial negative impact on the countries where we operate. Any negative effect on the economy, particularly in the countries that we operate, may decrease incomes and the demand for our products. Lastly, in case of an economic downturn, the price of our common shares may be adversely affected.
We are not now able to determine fully the extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business activity or financial results, which will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted fully (see “—Risks Related to Argentina-The measures taken or to be implemented by the Argentine government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may cause adverse effect on our business and operations” and "— Risks Related to Brazil — The measures taken or to be implemented by the Brazilian government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may cause adverse effect on our business and operations-").
Unpredictable weather conditions, including as a result of climate change, pest infestations and diseases may have an adverse impact on agricultural production.
The occurrence of severe adverse weather conditions, especially droughts, hail, floods or frost or diseases are unpredictable and may have a potentially devastating impact on agricultural production and may otherwise adversely affect the supply and price of the agricultural commodities that we sell and use in our business. Adverse weather conditions may be exacerbated by the effects of climate change which impacts the entirety of our business and policies.
The effects of severe adverse weather conditions may reduce yields of our agricultural activities. Additionally, higher than average temperatures and rainfall can contribute to an increased presence of pest and insects that may adversely impact our agricultural production. Furthermore, the potential physical impacts of climate change are uncertain and may vary by region, which includes changes in rainfall patterns, water shortages, changing sea levels and changing temperature levels that could adversely impact our business operations, the location, costs and competitiveness of global agricultural production and related storage and processing facilities. During April and November 2019 we suffered from a drought in Mato Grosso do Sul, which led to a significant decrease in sugarcane yields for the year and reduced profit from operations by about $49.5 million. In 2020,
13

from March to October, we suffered a drought in Minas Gerais (Usina Monte Alegre – “UMA”), which led to a significant decrease in sugarcane yields, that reduced UMA’s milling by approximately 120 thousand tons of sugar cane and decreased the operating profit by about $5.1 million. This drought will also have a negative impact on 2021 sugarcane yields in UMA. Yields may also be affected by plagues, diseases or weed infections and related operational problems. See “Item 5.Operating and Financial Review and Prospects — Trends and Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations — (i) Effects of Yield Fluctuations”.
The occurrence and effects of disease and plagues can be unpredictable and devastating to agricultural products, potentially rendering all or a substantial portion of the affected harvest unsuitable for sale. Our agricultural products are also susceptible to fungus and bacteria that are associated with excessively moist conditions. Our results of operations could be adversely affected in such cases where our production is materially affected and all or a substantial portion of the production costs have been incurred. We cannot assure you that such events in the future will not adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Furthermore, if we fail to control a given plague or disease and our production is threatened, we may be unable to supply our main customers, which could affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Our sugar production depends on the volume and sucrose content of the sugarcane that we cultivate or that is supplied to us by growers located in the vicinity of our mills. Both sugarcane yields and sucrose content depend primarily on weather conditions such as rainfall and temperature, which vary. Weather conditions have historically caused volatility in the ethanol and sugar industries. Future weather patterns may reduce the amount of sugarcane that we can harvest or purchase, or the sucrose content in such sugarcane, and, consequently, the amount of sugar and ethanol we can produce in any given harvest. Any reduction in production volumes could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
As a result, we cannot assure you that future severe adverse weather conditions, including as a result of climate change, or pest infestations will not adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
Fluctuations in market prices for our products could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Prices for agricultural products and by-products, including, among other things, sugar, ethanol, and grains, like those of other commodities, have historically been cyclical and sensitive to domestic and international changes in supply and demand and can be expected to fluctuate significantly. In addition, the agricultural products and by-products we produce are traded on commodities and futures exchanges and thus are subject to speculative trading, which may adversely affect us. The prices that we are able to obtain for our agricultural products and by-products depend on many factors beyond our control including:
•prevailing world commodity prices, which historically have been subject to significant fluctuations over relatively short periods of time, depending on worldwide demand and supply;
•changes in the agricultural subsidy levels of certain important producers (mainly the U.S. and the European Union (“E.U.”) and the adoption of other government policies affecting industry market conditions and prices;
•changes to trade barriers of certain important consumer markets (including China, India, the U.S. and the E.U.) and the adoption of other governmental policies affecting industry market conditions and prices;
•changes in government policies for biofuels;
•disruptions in commodity markets caused by global events, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;
•world inventory levels, i.e., the supply of commodities carried over from year to year;
•climatic conditions and natural disasters in areas where agricultural products are cultivated;
•the production capacity of our competitors; and
•demand for and supply of competing commodities and substitutes.
Further, because we may not hedge 100% of the price risk of our agricultural products, we may be unable to have minimum price guarantees for all of our production and are, therefore, exposed to risks associated with the prices of agricultural products and their volatility. We are subject to fluctuations in prices of agricultural products that could result in our receiving lower prices for our agricultural products than our production costs.
The rapid and widening spread of the COVID-19 is impacting the price of the products we sell (i.e., ethanol, corn, powder milk among others) due to the lower demand and economic activity worldwide. As an example, during the month of March 2021, sugar prices in USD decreased by 8.8% according to ICE-NY, anhydrous and hydrous ethanol prices ins BRL decreased by 25% and 26%, respectively, according to ESALQ and corn prices in USD decreased by 4.6% based on CBOT. Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the COVID-19 pandemic we cannot predict or asses the final impact of the pandemic. (See "— We may be exposed to risks related to health epidemics, and the COVID-19 in particular, that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and operating results”).
14

In addition, there is a strong relationship between the value of our land holdings and market prices of the commodities we produce, which are affected by global economic conditions. A decline in the prices of grains, sugar, ethanol, or related by-products below their current levels for a sustained period of time could significantly reduce the value of our land holdings and materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Ethanol prices are correlated to the price of sugar and are also closely correlated to the price of oil, so that a decline in the price of sugar or a decline in the price of oil will adversely affect our sugar and ethanol businesses.
A vast majority of ethanol in Brazil is produced at sugarcane mills that produce both ethanol and sugar. Because sugarcane millers are able to alter their product mix in response to the relative prices of ethanol and sugar, the prices of both products are directly correlated, and the correlation between ethanol and sugar may increase over time. Sugar prices in Brazil are determined by prices in the world market, resulting in a correlation between Brazilian ethanol prices and world sugar prices. Accordingly, a decline in sugar prices would have an adverse effect on the financial performance of our ethanol and sugar businesses.
In addition, gasoline prices in Brazil are set by the Brazilian government through Petrobras. Because flex-fuel vehicles, which have become popular in Brazil, allow consumers to choose between gasoline and ethanol at the pump rather than in the showroom, ethanol prices are correlated to gasoline prices and, consequently, oil prices. The COVID-19 pandemic had an impact at the inception . See "We may be exposed to risks related to health epidemics, and the COVID-19 in particular, that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and results of operations."
While we are not now able to fully determine the impact of fluctuation. A decline in oil prices to our operations, we believe that a decline in oil prices or a decision by Petrobras to lower fuel prices and its attendant effects on the price of ethanol and sugar will have an adverse effect on the financial performance of our ethanol and sugar business.
The expansion of our business through acquisitions poses risks that may reduce the benefits we anticipate from these transactions.
As part of our business strategy, we have grown through acquisitions. We plan to continue growing by acquiring other farms and production facilities throughout South America. We believe that the agricultural industry and agricultural activity in the region are highly fragmented and that our future consolidation opportunities will continue to be significant to our growth. However, our management is unable to predict whether or when any prospective acquisitions or strategic alliances will occur, or if such acquisitions or strategic alliances will be agreed upon on favorable terms and conditions. Our ability to continue to expand our business successfully through acquisitions and strategic alliances depends on many factors, including our ability to identify potential acquisitions, access financing sources, including through capital markets, at acceptable conditions, negotiate favorable transaction terms and successfully consummate and integrate any businesses we acquire.
To support the acquisitions we pursue, we may need to implement new or upgraded strategies, systems, procedures and controls for our operations and will face risks, including diversion of management time and focus and challenges associated with integrating new managers and employees. We may be unable to realize synergies and efficiency gains from acquisitions or to identify, negotiate or finance future acquisitions, particularly as part of our international growth strategy, successfully or at favorable valuations, or to effectively integrate these acquisitions or strategic alliances with our current businesses. Our failure to integrate new businesses or manage any new alliances successfully could adversely affect our business and financial performance.
Any future strategic alliances or acquisitions of businesses, technologies, services or products might require us to obtain additional equity or debt financing, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all, and may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures, as well as strain on our organizational culture, especially if an acquisition is followed by a period of lower than projected prices for our products. Future acquisitions and joint ventures may be subject to antitrust and other regulatory approvals, which may not be obtained on a timely basis or at all.
Acquisitions also expose us to the risk of successor liability relating to actions involving an acquired company, its management or contingent liabilities incurred before the acquisition. The due diligence we conduct in connection with an acquisition, and any contractual guarantees or indemnities that we receive from the sellers of acquired companies, may not be sufficient to protect us from, or compensate us for, actual liabilities. Any material liability associated with an acquisition could adversely affect our reputation and results of operations and reduce the benefits of the acquisition.
In addition, we are unable to predict the effect that changes in Argentine or Brazilian legislation regarding foreign ownership of rural properties could have in our business. (See “ — Risks Related to Argentina-Argentine law concerning
15

foreign ownership of rural properties may adversely affect our results of operations and future investments in rural properties in Argentina” and “—Risks Related to Brazil—Changes in Brazilian rules concerning foreign investment in rural properties may adversely affect our investments.”)
A significant increase in the price of raw materials we use in our operations, or the shortage of such raw materials, could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our production process requires various raw materials, including primarily fertilizer, pesticides and seeds, which we acquire from local and international suppliers. We do not have long-term supply contracts for most of these raw materials. A significant increase in the cost of these raw materials, especially fertilizer and agrochemicals, a shortage of raw materials or the unavailability of these raw materials entirely could reduce our profit margin, reduce our production and/or interrupt the production of some of our products, in all cases adversely affecting the results of our operations and our financial condition.
For example, we rely on fertilizers and agrochemicals, many of which are petrochemical based. In our Farming business, fertilizers and agrochemicals represented approximately 17% of our total cost of production (including manufacturing and administrative expenses) for the 2019/2020 harvest year. In our Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business, fertilizers and agrochemicals represented 16.7% of our cost of production (including manufacturing and administrative expenses) for 2019 and 17.1% for 2020. Worldwide production of agricultural products has increased significantly in recent years, increasing the demand for agrochemicals and fertilizers. This has resulted, among other things, in increased prices for agrochemicals and fertilizers.
Increased energy prices and frequent interruptions of energy supply could adversely affect our business.
We require substantial amounts of fuel oil and other resources for our harvest activities and transport of our agricultural products. During the 2019/20 harvest year, fuel represented 3.2% of the cost of production (including manufacturing and administrative expenses) of our Farming business. In our Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business, fuel represented 9.3% of our cost of production (including manufacturing and administrative expenses) for the 2020/21 harvest year and 10.2% for the 2019/2020 harvest year. We rely upon third parties for our supply of energy resources used in our operations. The prices for and availability of energy resources may be subject to change or curtailment, respectively, due to, among other things, new laws or regulations, imposition of new taxes or tariffs, interruptions in production by suppliers, imposition of restrictions on energy supply by government, worldwide price levels and market conditions. Over the last few years, the Argentine government has taken certain measures in order to reduce the use of energy during peak months of the year by frequently cutting energy supply to industrial facilities and large consumers to ensure adequate supply for residential buildings. For example, certain of our industrial facilities have been subject to a quota system whereby electricity cuts occur on a work shift basis, resulting in our facilities being shut down during certain work shifts. We cannot assure you that we will be able to procure the required energy inputs at acceptable prices. If energy supply is cut for an extended period of time and we are unable to find replacement sources at comparable prices, or at all, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
We depend on stable international trade and economic and other conditions in key export markets for our products.
Our operating results depend largely on economic conditions and regulatory policies for our products in major export markets. The ability of our products to compete effectively in these export markets may be adversely affected by a number of factors that are beyond our control, including the deterioration of macroeconomic conditions, volatility of exchange rates, the imposition of greater tariffs or protectionist policies or other trade barriers or other factors in those markets, such as regulations relating to chemical content of products and safety requirements. The European Union, for example, limits the import of genetically modified organisms, or “GMOs.” See “ — Some of the agricultural commodities and food products that we produce contain genetically modified organisms.”
Due to the growing participation in the worldwide agricultural commodities markets by commodities produced in South America, South American growers, including us, are increasingly affected by the measures taken by importing countries in order to protect their local producers. Measures such as the limitation on imports adopted in a particular country or region may affect the sector’s export volume significantly and, consequently, our operating results. Additionally, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, governments and other authorities have established certain restrictions on the freedom of movement and business operations, including travel bans, supply chain disruptions and border closures. Other measures such as the restriction on imports or business closures of ports, airports or any locations of entry, or border closings may have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial results. See "— We may be exposed to risks related to health epidemics, and the COVID-19 in particular, that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and operating results”.
16

If the sale of our products into a particular importing country is adversely affected by trade barriers or by any of the factors mentioned above, the relocation of our products to other consumers on terms equally favorable could be impaired, and our business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.
A worldwide economic downturn could weaken demand for our products or lower prices.
The demand for the products we sell may be affected by international, national and local economic conditions that are beyond our control. Adverse changes in the perceived or actual economic climate, such as higher fuel prices, higher interest rates, stock and real estate market declines and/or volatility, more restrictive credit markets, higher taxes, and changes in governmental policies could reduce the level of demand or prices of the products we produce. We cannot predict the duration or magnitude of a downturn or the timing or strength of economic recovery. If a downturn were to continue for an extended period of time or worsen, we could experience a prolonged period of decreased demand and prices. In addition, economic downturns have and may adversely impact our suppliers, which can result in disruptions in goods and services and financial losses. Finally, the deterioration of global economic conditions, particularly in relevant economies such as the United States and China, as a result of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic or other events may ultimately decrease the customer demand for our products and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. (See "— We may be exposed to risks related to health epidemics, and the COVID-19 in particular, that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and operating results.”
Our business is seasonal, and our results may fluctuate significantly depending on the growing cycle of our crops.
As with any agricultural business enterprise, our business operations are predominantly seasonal in nature. The harvest of corn, soybean and rice generally occurs from January to May. Wheat is harvested from December to January. Cotton is harvested from June to August, but requires processing which takes approximately two to three months. Our operations and sales are affected by the growing cycle of our crops process and the timing of our harvest sales. In addition, our sugar and ethanol business is subject to seasonal trends based on the sugarcane growing cycle in the center-south region of Brazil. The annual sugarcane harvesting period in the center-south region of Brazil begins in March/April and ends in November/December. This creates price fluctuations which result in fluctuations in our sugar and ethanol inventories, usually peaking in December to take advantage of higher prices during the traditional off-season (i.e., January through April), and a degree of seasonality in our gross profit. Seasonality could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial performance. In addition, our quarterly results may vary as a result of the effects of fluctuations in commodities prices, production yields and costs. Therefore, our results of operations have varied significantly from period to period and are likely to continue to vary, due to seasonal factors.
Our dairy cattle are vulnerable to diseases.
Diseases among our dairy cattle herd, such as mastitis, tuberculosis, brucellosis and foot-and-mouth disease, can have an adverse effect on productivity. Outbreaks of cattle diseases may also result in the closure of certain important markets to our cattle-derived products. We cannot assure that future outbreaks will not occur. A future outbreak of diseases among our cattle herds could adversely affect our milk sales and operating results and financial condition.
Furthermore, outbreaks, or fears of outbreaks, of any of these or other animal diseases may lead to cancellation of orders by our customers and, particularly if the disease has the potential to affect humans, or create adverse publicity that may have a material adverse effect on consumer demand for our products. Moreover, outbreaks of animal disease may result in foreign governmental action to close export markets to some or all of our products, which may result in the destruction of some or all of these animals.
We face significant competition from Brazilian and foreign producers, which could adversely affect our financial performance.
We face strong competition from other producers in our domestic market and from foreign producers in our export markets. The market for commodities is highly fragmented. Small producers can also be important competitors, some of which operate in the informal economy and are able to offer lower prices by meeting lower quality standards. Competition from other producers is a barrier to expanding our sales in the domestic/foreign market. With respect to exports, we compete with other large, vertically integrated producers that have the ability to produce quality products at low cost, as well as with foreign producers.
The Brazilian markets, in particular, are highly price-competitive and sensitive to product substitution. Customers may seek to diversify their sources of supply by purchasing a portion of the products they need from producers in other countries, as some
17

of our customers in key export markets have begun to do. We expect that we will continue to face strong competition in all of our markets and anticipate that existing or new competitors may broaden their product lines and extend their geographic scope. Any failure by us to respond to product, pricing and other moves by competitors may negatively affect our financial performance.
Our current insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover our potential losses.
Our production is, in general, subject to different risks and hazards, including adverse weather conditions, fires, diseases and pest infestations, other natural phenomena, industrial accidents, labor disputes, changes in the legal and regulatory framework applicable to us, environmental contingencies and other natural phenomena. Our insurance currently covers only part of the losses we may incur and does not cover losses on crops due to hail storms, fires or similar risks. Furthermore, certain types of risks may not be covered by the policies we have for our industrial facilities. Additionally, we cannot guarantee that the indemnification paid by the insurer due to the occurrence of a casualty covered by our policies will be sufficient to entirely compensate us for the loss or damages suffered. Moreover, we may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount desired at reasonable costs. If we were to incur significant liability for which we were not fully insured, it could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may incur additional expenses to mitigate the loss, such as shifting production to another facility. These costs may not be fully covered by our insurance.
A reduction in market demand for ethanol or a change in governmental policies reducing the amount of ethanol required to be added to gasoline may adversely affect our business.
Government authorities of several countries, including Brazil and certain states of the United States, currently require the use of ethanol as an additive to gasoline.
Approximately 31% of all fuel ethanol in Brazil is consumed in the form of anhydrous ethanol blended with gasoline; the remaining 69% of fuel ethanol is consumed in the form of hydrous ethanol, which is mostly used to power flex-fuel vehicles. Flex-fuel vehicles have the flexibility to run either on gasoline (blended with anhydrous ethanol) or hydrous ethanol. In The United States, which currently requires the addition of 10% of ethanol into gasoline, is considering increasing this requirement to 15% in 2021 The European Union aims for 10% of the energy used in the transport sector to derive from renewable energy sources by 2020, without specific targets for certain renewable energy sources and without intermediate targets, to be determined by each Member State. Other countries such as Colombia and Canada have a 10% and 5% biofuel blending mandate, respectively, while Argentina currently has a 12% ethanol blending. In March 2021, the British government announced that that next September it will require an increase from 5% to 10% in biofuel additives to petroleum products. Also, India has established a target of achieving 20% ethanol-blending with petroleum by 2025. In addition, flex-fuel and ethanol powered vehicles in Brazil are entitled to a tax benefit in the form of a lower tax rate on manufactured products (Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados) and therefore are currently taxed at lower levels than gasoline-only vehicles, which has contributed to the increase in production and sale of flex-fuel vehicles. Many of these policies and incentives aim to mitigate the effects of climate change. If climate change policies were to change, the legal framework and incentive structure promoting the use of ethanol may also change, leading to a reduction in the demand for ethanol. In addition, any reduction in the percentage of ethanol required in fuel blended with gasoline or increase in the rates at which flex-fuel vehicles are taxed in Brazil, or any growth in the demand for natural gas and other fuels as an alternative to ethanol, lower gasoline prices or an increase in gasoline consumption (versus ethanol), may cause demand for ethanol to decline and affect our business.
Additionally, the COVID-19 outbreak and other market factors have resulted in a reduction in the demand for oil and related fuels, causing significant volatility in the price of, and a reduction in the demand for, ethanol. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on global markets, we cannot fully determine the extent of the reduction in the demand for ethanol, which, if sustained, may have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial condition. See “— Ethanol prices are correlated to the price of sugar and are also closely correlated to the price of oil, so that a decline in the price of sugar or a decline in the price of oil will adversely affect our sugar and ethanol businesses and (See "— We may be exposed to risks related to health epidemics, and the COVID-19 in particular, that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and operating results.”
Growth in the sale and distribution of ethanol depends in part on infrastructure improvements, which may not occur on a timely basis, if at all.
In contrast to the well-established logistical operations and infrastructure supporting sugar exports, ethanol exports inherently demand much more complex preparation and means of distribution, including outlets from our facilities to ports and
18

shipping to other countries. Substantial infrastructure development by persons and entities outside our control is required for our operations, and the ethanol industry generally, to grow. Areas requiring expansion include, but are not limited to, additional rail capacity, additional storage facilities for ethanol, increases in truck fleets capable of transporting ethanol within localized markets, expansion of refining and blending facilities to handle ethanol, growth in service stations equipped to handle ethanol fuels, and growth in the fleet of flex-fuel vehicles. Specifically, with respect to ethanol exports, improvements in consumer markets abroad are needed in the number and capacity of ethanol blending industrial plants, the distribution channels of gasoline-ethanol blends and the chains of distribution stations capable of handling fuel ethanol as an additive to gasoline. Substantial investments required for these infrastructure changes and expansions may not be made or they may not be made on a timely basis. Any delay or failure in making the changes in or expansion of infrastructure may hurt the demand for or prices of our products, prevent our products’ delivery, impose additional costs on us or otherwise have a serious adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial status. Our business relies on the continuing availability of infrastructure for ethanol production, storage and distribution, and any infrastructure disruptions may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
We may be harmed by competition from alternative fuels, products and production methods.
Ethanol competes in the biofuel market with other, established fuels such as biodiesel, as well as fuels that are still in the development phase, including methanol and butanol from biomass. Alternative fuels could become more successful than ethanol in the biofuels market over the medium or long term due to, for example, lower production costs, greater environmental benefits or other more favorable product characteristics. In addition, alternative fuels may also benefit from tax incentives or other more favorable governmental policies than those that apply to ethanol. Furthermore, our success depends on early identification of new developments relating to products and production methods and continuous improvement of existing expertise in order to ensure that our product range keeps pace with technological change. Competitors may gain an advantage over us by, for example, developing or using new products and production methods, introducing new products to the market sooner than we do, or securing exclusive rights to new technologies, thereby significantly harming our competitive position.
A substantial portion of our assets is farmland that is highly illiquid.
Ownership of a significant portion of the land we operate is a key part of our business model. However, agricultural real estate is generally an illiquid asset. Moreover, the adoption of laws and regulations that impose limitations on ownership of rural land by foreigners in the jurisdictions in which we operate may also limit the liquidity of our farmland holdings. See “—Risks Related to Argentina—Argentine law concerning foreign ownership of rural properties may adversely affect our results of operations and future investments in rural properties in Argentina” and “—Risks Related to Brazil—Changes in Brazilian rules concerning foreign investment in rural properties may adversely affect our investments.” As a result, it is unlikely that we will be able to adjust our owned agricultural real estate portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic, business or regulatory conditions. Illiquidity in local market conditions may adversely affect our ability to complete dispositions, to receive proceeds generated from any such sales or to repatriate any such proceeds.
We have entered into agriculture partnership agreements in respect of a significant portion of our sugarcane plantations.
As of December 31, 2020, approximately 93.81% of our sugarcane plantations were leased through agriculture partnership agreements, for periods of an average of six to twelve years. We cannot guarantee that these agriculture partnerships will be renewed after their respective terms end. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to renew these agreements and whether such renewals will be on terms and conditions satisfactory to us. Any failure to renew the agriculture partnerships or obtain land suitable for sugarcane planting in sufficient quantity and at reasonable prices to develop our activities could adversely affect our results of operations, increase our costs or force us to seek alternative properties, which may not be available or be available only at higher prices.
We may be subject to labor disputes from time to time that may adversely affect us.
Approximately 18% of our employees are represented by unions or equivalent bodies and are covered by collective bargaining or similar agreements which are subject to periodic renegotiation. We may not successfully conclude our labor negotiations on satisfactory terms, which may result in a significant increase in the cost of labor or may result in work stoppages or labor disturbances that disrupt our operations. Cost increases, work stoppages or disturbances that result in substantial amounts of raw product not being processed could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Furthermore, all benefits and obligations provided under collective agreements negotiated are binding upon all parties, and have legal and practical effects on employment agreements.
19

If we do not observe legal and conventional binding provisions, it may be susceptible to labor disputes filed by employees, Public Civil Action filed by the Labor Public Prosecution and inspections by Labor Protection Agencies, resulting in the payment of legal and/or administrative sanctions.
We may not possess all of the permits and licenses required to operate our business, or we may fail to renew or maintain the licenses and permits we currently hold. This could subject us to fines and other penalties, which could materially adversely affect our results of operations.
We are required to hold a variety of permits and licenses to conduct our farming and industrial operations, including but not limited to permits and licenses concerning land development, agricultural and harvesting activities, seed production, labor standards, occupational health and safety, land use, water use and other matters. We may not possess all of the permits and licenses required for each of our business segments. In addition, the approvals, permits or licenses or renewals there of required by governmental agencies may change without substantial advance notice, and we could fail to obtain the approvals, permits or licenses required to expand our business. If we fail to obtain or to maintain such permits or licenses, or if renewals are granted with onerous conditions, we could be subject to fines and other penalties and be limited in the number or the quality of the products that we could offer. As a result, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
We are subject to extensive environmental regulation, and concerns regarding climate change may subject us to even stricter environmental regulations.
Our activities are subject to a broad set of laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Such laws include compulsory maintenance of certain preserved areas within our properties, management of pesticides and associated hazardous waste and the acquisition and renewals of permits for water use and effluents disposal. In addition, the storage and processing of our products may create hazardous conditions. We could be exposed to civil, criminal and administrative penalties in addition to the obligation to remedy the adverse effects of our operations on the environment and to indemnify third parties for damages.
In addition, pursuant to Brazilian environmental legislation, the corporate entity of a company will be disregarded (such that the owners of the company will be liable for its debts) if necessary to guarantee the payment of costs related to the recovery of environmental damages, whenever the legal entity is deemed by a court to be an obstacle to reimbursement of damages caused to the quality of the environment. Moreover, the relevant public authority may prevent us from using the property as long as environmental damages persist, which can directly affect the rent revenue stream of the agriculture partnership agreements. Because of the possibility of unanticipated regulatory measures or other developments, particularly as environmental laws become more stringent, the amount and timing of future expenditures required to maintain compliance could increase from current levels and could adversely affect the availability of funds for capital expenditures and other purposes. Compliance with existing or new environmental laws and regulations, as well as obligations in agreements with public entities, could result in increased costs and expenses.
Environmental laws and their enforcement are becoming more stringent in Argentina and Brazil increasing the risk of and penalties associated with violations, which could impair or suspend our operations or projects and our operations expose us to potentially adverse environmental legislation and regulation. Failure to comply with past, present or future laws could result in the imposition of fines, third party claims, and investigation by environmental and police authorities and the relevant public attorney office. For example, the perceived effects of climate change may result in additional legal and regulatory requirements to reduce or mitigate the effects of our industrial facilities’ emissions. Such requirements, if enacted, could increase our capital expenditures and expenses for environmental compliance in the future, which may have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, the denial of any permit that we have requested, or the revocation of any of the permits that we have already obtained, may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Some of the agricultural commodities and food products that we produce contain genetically modified organisms ("GMO").
Our soybean, corn and cotton products contain GMOs in varying proportions depending on the year and the country of production. The use of GMOs in food has been met with varying degrees of acceptance in the markets in which we operate. In certain countries, adverse publicity about genetically modified food has led to governmental regulation limiting sales of GMO products in some of the markets in which our customers sell our products, including the European Union. It is possible that new restrictions on GMO products will be imposed in major markets for some of our products or that our customers will decide to purchase fewer GMO products or not buy GMO products at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.
20

Increased regulation of food safety could increase our costs and adversely affect our results of operations.
Our manufacturing facilities and products are subject to regular local, as well as foreign, governmental inspections and extensive regulation in the food safety area, including governmental food processing controls. We incur significant costs in connection with the compliance of food and safety requirements and changes in government regulations relating to food safety could require us to make additional investments or incur additional costs to meet the necessary specifications for our products. Our products are often inspected by foreign food safety officials, and any failure to pass those inspections can result in our being required to return all or part of a shipment, destroy all or part of a shipment or incur costs because of delays in delivering products to our customers. Any tightening of food safety regulations could result in increased costs and could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
If our products become contaminated, we may be subject to product liability claims, product recalls and restrictions on exports that would adversely affect our business.
The sale of food products for human consumption involves the risk of injury to consumers. These injuries may result from tampering by third parties, bioterrorism, product contamination or spoilage, including the presence of bacteria, pathogens, foreign objects, substances, chemicals, other agents, or residues introduced during the growing, storage, handling or transportation phases.
We cannot be sure that consumption of our products will not cause a health-related illness in the future or that we will not be subject to claims or lawsuits relating to such matters. The negative publicity surrounding any assertion that our products caused illness or injury could adversely affect our reputation with existing and potential customers and our corporate and brand image, and we could also incur significant indemnification liabilities legal expenses. Moreover, claims or liabilities of this nature might not be covered by any rights of indemnity or contribution that we may have against others, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
IFRS accounting standards related to biological assets require us to make numerous estimates in the preparation of our financial statements and therefore limit the comparability of our financial statements to similar issuers using U.S. GAAP.
IAS 41 “Biological Assets” requires that we measure our biological assets and agriculture produce at the point of harvest at fair value less costs to sell. Therefore, we are required to make assumptions and estimates relating to, among other things, future agricultural commodity yields, prices, and production costs extrapolated through a discounted cash flow method. For example, the value of our biological assets generated initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets amounting to a $122.7 million gain in 2020; $68.6 million gain in 2019 and a $16.2 million gain in 2018. The assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of biological assets, and any changes to such prior estimates, directly affect our reported results of operations. If actual market conditions differ from our estimates and assumptions, there could be material adjustments to our results of operations. In addition, the use of such discounted cash flow method utilizing these future estimated metrics differs from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). As a result, our financial statements and reported earnings are not directly comparable to those of similar companies in the United States.
We have substantial indebtedness which could impair their financial condition and decrease the amount of dividends we receive.
As of December 31, 2020, we had $634.8 million of net debt outstanding on a consolidated basis, including $500 million of Notes 2027, incurred by Adecoagro S.A. Certain of our subsidiaries in Argentina and Brazil have a substantial amount of debt, which requires significant principal and interest payments. Such indebtedness could affect our subsidiaries’ future operations, for example, by requiring a substantial portion of their cash flows from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on indebtedness instead of funding working capital and capital improvements and other investments. The substantial amount of debt incurred by us and our subsidiaries also imposes significant debt obligations, increasing our cost of borrowing to satisfy business needs and limiting our ability to obtain additional financing.
The substantial level of indebtedness borne by certain of our subsidiaries also affects the amount of cash available to them to pay as dividends, increasing our vulnerability to economic downturns or other adverse developments relative to competitors with less leverage, and limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other corporate purposes in the future. Moreover, our indebtedness places limits on our ability to make acquisitions or needed capital expenditures or to pay dividends to our shareholders.
21

The terms of our indebtedness and that of certain of our subsidiaries impose significant restrictions on our operating and financial flexibility.
The terms of our Senior Notes due 2027 and the debt instruments of some of our subsidiaries contain customary covenants including limitations on our ability to, among other things, incur or guarantee additional indebtedness; make restricted payments, including dividends and prepaying indebtedness; create or permit liens; enter into business combinations and asset sale transactions; make investments, including capital expenditures; and enter into new businesses. Some of these debt instruments are also secured by various collateral including mortgages on farms, pledges of subsidiary stock and liens on certain facilities, equipment and accounts. Some of these debt instruments also contain cross-default provisions, where a default on one loan by one subsidiary could result in lenders of otherwise performing loans declaring a default. These restrictions could limit our ability to obtain future financing, withstand a future downturn in business or the economy in general, conduct operations or otherwise take advantage of business opportunities that may arise. Moreover, by reducing the level of dividends we may receive, the terms of our subsidiaries’ indebtedness places limits on our ability to make acquisitions or needed capital expenditures or to pay dividends to our shareholders.
The financial ratio covenants we are currently required to meet, some of which are measured on a combined basis aggregating results of the borrowing subsidiaries and others which are measured on an individual debtor basis, include, among others, debt service coverage, minimum liquidity and leverage ratios.
The failure to maintain applicable financial ratios, in certain circumstances, would prevent us from borrowing additional amounts and could result in a default under such indebtedness. If we or our subsidiaries are unable to repay those amounts, the affected lenders could initiate bankruptcy-related proceedings or enforce their rights to the collateral securing such indebtedness, which would have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Fluctuations in interest rates could have a significant impact on our results of operations, indebtedness and cash flow.
As of December 31, 2020, approximately $717.6 million of our total debt on a consolidated basis was subject to fixed interest rates and $253.4 million was subject to variable interest rates. As of December 31, 2020, borrowings incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries in Brazil were repayable at various dates between January 2021 and November 2027 and bear either fixed interest rates ranging from 2.5% to 7.95% per annum or variable rates based on Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo (TJLP), Índice de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo (IPCA) and CDI plus spreads ranging from 1.62% to 4.24% per annum. Borrowings incurred by the Company´s subsidiaries in Argentina are repayable at various dates between January 2021 and June 2028 and bear either fixed interest rates ranging from 2.8% to 7.0% per annum. Significant interest rate increases can have an adverse effect on our profitability, liquidity and financial position. Currently, our variable interest rate exposure is mainly linked to the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") rate plus specified spreads. If interest rates increase, whether because of an increase in market interest rates or an increase in our own cost of borrowing, our debt service obligations for our variable rate indebtedness would increase, and our net income could be adversely affected. At December 31, 2020, LIBOR (six months) was 0.26%.
Volatility in LIBOR or other reference rates could increase our periodic interest payments and have an adverse effect on our total financing costs. We may be unable to adequately adjust our prices to offset any increased financing costs, which would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced that it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. Further, on November 30, 2020, ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”) announced that it planned to consult on its intention to cease the publication of one-week and two-month LIBOR on December 31, 2021, and the overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month and 12-month LIBOR tenors on June 30, 2023. That same day, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency jointly responded to IBA’s announcement by encouraging banks to stop writing contracts referencing LIBOR as soon as possible (and in any event by the end of 2021, subject to certain limited exceptions), stating that entering into new contracts that use LIBOR as a reference rate after December 31, 2021, and failing to prepare for disruptions to LIBOR (including operating without robust fallback language that includes a clearly defined alternative reference rate), could cause significant issues if not addressed. These announcements indicate that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will likely not be guaranteed after June 2023 and may be subject to significant disruption after December 2021.It is not possible to predict the effect of these changes, other reforms or the establishment of alternative reference rates in the United Kingdom, the United States or elsewhere. See also the discussion of interest rate risk in “Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk-”Risk of Fluctuations in Interest Rates.”
The transition process may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR. The transition may also result in reductions in the value of certain instruments or the effectiveness of
22

related transactions such as hedges, increased borrowing costs, uncertainty under applicable documentation, or difficult and costly consent processes. Any such effects of the transition away from LIBOR, as well as other unforeseen effects, may result in losses or increases in financing costs with respect to our indebtedness, expenses, difficulties, complications, or delays in connection with future financing efforts, all of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Also, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments can result in a non-cash charge or gain being recognized in our financial results for a period preceding the period or periods in which settlement occurs under the derivative instruments and interest payments are made. Changes or shifts in interest rates can significantly impact the valuation of our derivatives and therefore could expose us to substantial mark-to-market losses or gains if interest rates fluctuate materially from the time when the derivatives were entered into. Accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates may impact our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. See "Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements".
We may not be able to renew our credit lines when they mature, depriving us of needed liquidity.
Certain of our subsidiaries rely substantially on existing uncommitted credit lines to support their operations and business needs through the agricultural harvest cycle. If we are unable to renew these credit lines, or if we cannot replace such credit lines with other borrowing facilities, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.
There is a risk that we could be treated as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could materially increase our U.S. federal income tax liability and subject any dividends we pay to U.S. federal withholding tax.
We acquired approximately 98% of IFH, a holding company, which was a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes organized under the laws of Delaware, immediately prior to our IPO, in exchange for our common shares. Under U.S. Internal Revenue Code section 7874(b), we would be treated as a U.S. domestic corporation if we were deemed to have acquired substantially all of the assets constituting the trade or business of a U.S. domestic partnership and former members of IFH were deemed to own at least 80% of our common shares by reason of the transfer of those trade or business assets (ignoring common shares issued in our IPO for purposes of the 80% threshold). The rules mentioned above are unclear in certain respects and there is limited guidance on the application of the rules to partnership acquisitions. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will not seek to assert that we are a U.S. domestic corporation, which assertion if successful could materially increase our U.S. federal income tax liability and require us to withhold tax from any dividends we pay to holders of our common shares who are not United States persons within the meaning of U.S. Internal Revenue Code section 7701(a) (30). See “Item 10. Additional Information—E. Taxation”.
We may be classified by the IRS as a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”), which may result in adverse tax consequences for U.S. investors.
Whether the Company will be a PFIC for the current or future tax year will depend on the Company’s assets and income over the course of each such tax year and, as a result, cannot be predicted with certainty as of the date of this Form 20-F. Under circumstances where the cash is not deployed for active purposes, our risk of becoming a PFIC may increase. If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. investor held common shares, certain adverse tax consequences could apply to such U.S. investor. A U.S. taxpayer who holds stock in a foreign corporation during any year in which such corporation qualifies as a PFIC may mitigate such negative tax consequences by making certain U.S. federal income tax elections, which are subject to numerous restrictions and limitations. Holders of the Company’s common shares are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the Company’s common shares. See “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders—Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) Rules”.
We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and other international trade laws and regulations.
We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering and other international trade laws and regulations. We are required to comply with the laws and regulations of Brazil and other jurisdictions where we conduct operations. In particular, we are subject to the Brazilian Anti-corruption Law No 12,846, to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, or the “FCPA,” to the United Kingdom Bribery Act of 2010, as well as economic sanction programs, including those administered by the United Nations, the European Union and the United States, including the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, or “OFAC.”
The FCPA prohibits providing anything of value to foreign officials for the purposes of obtaining or retaining business or securing any improper business advantage. As part of our business, we may deal with entities and employees which are
23

considered foreign officials for purposes of the FCPA. In addition, economic sanctions programs restrict our dealings with certain sanctioned countries, individuals and entities. When issues arise, we attempt to act promptly to learn relevant facts, conduct appropriate due diligence, and take any appropriate remedial action to address the risk. There can be no assurance that our internal policies and procedures will be sufficient to prevent or detect all inappropriate practices, fraud or violations of law by our employees, directors, officers, partners, agents and service providers or that such persons will not take actions in violation of our policies and procedures (or otherwise in violation of the relevant anticorruption laws and sanctions regulations) for which we or they may be ultimately held responsible.
Violations of anti-bribery and anticorruption laws and sanctions regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, reputation, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we may be subject to one or more enforcement actions, investigations and proceedings by authorities for alleged infringements of these laws. These proceedings may result in penalties, fines, sanctions or other forms of liability and could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks associated with the Countries in which we operate
We operate our business in emerging markets. Our results of operations and financial condition are dependent upon economic conditions in those countries in which we operate, and any decline in economic conditions could harm our results of operations or financial condition.
All of our operations and/or development activities are in South America. As of December 31, 2020, based on total asset value, 44.8% of our assets were located in Argentina, 47.3% in Brazil and 4.0% in Uruguay. During the year ended December 31, 2020, 50.1% of our consolidated sales of goods and services rendered were attributable to our Brazilian operations, 47.3% were attributable to our Argentine operations and 2.6% were attributable to our Uruguayan operations. In the future we expect to have additional operations in the South American countries in which we now operate or in other countries with similar political, economic and social conditions. Many of these countries have a history of economic instability or crises (such as inflation or recession), government deadlock, political instability, civil strife, changes in laws and regulations, expropriation or nationalization of property, and exchange controls which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In particular, fluctuations in the economies of Argentina and Brazil and actions adopted by the governments of those countries have had and may continue to have a significant impact on companies operating in those countries, including us. Specifically, we have been affected and may continue to be affected by high levels of inflation, increased interest rates, fluctuations in the value of the Argentine Peso and Brazilian Real against foreign currencies, wage controls, price and foreign exchange controls, regulatory policies, business and tax regulations, political and social tension, and in general by the political, social and economic scenarios in Argentina and Brazil and in other countries that may affect Argentina and Brazil.
The economies of the countries in which we operate may be adversely affected by the deterioration of other global markets.
Financial and securities markets in the countries in which we operate are influenced, to different degrees, by the economic and market conditions in other countries, including other South American and emerging market countries and other global markets. Investors’ reactions to developments in these other countries, such as the recent developments in the global financial markets, may substantially affect the capital flows into, and the market value of securities of issuers with operations in, the countries in which we operate.
A significant deterioration in the economic growth of any of the main trading partners of Brazil or Argentina could have a material impact on the trade balance of those countries and could adversely affect their economic growth and that of other countries in the region. Furthermore, adverse economic conditions in any of these countries could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A crisis in global financial markets including other emerging country markets could dampen investor enthusiasm for securities of issuers with South American operations, including our common shares. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted global financial markets ushering significant risk and volatility. These effects could adversely affect the market price for our common shares, as well as make it difficult for us to access capital markets and obtain financing for our operations in the future, on acceptable terms or under any conditions.
24

Governments have a high degree of influence in the economies in which we operate, which could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
Governments in many of the markets in which we currently operate, or that we may operate in the future, frequently intervene in their respective economies and occasionally make significant changes in monetary, credit, industry and other policies and regulations. Governmental actions to control inflation and other policies and regulations have often involved, among other measures, price controls, currency devaluations, capital controls and limitations on imports. We have no control over, and cannot predict what measures or policies governments may take in the future. Our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by changes in governmental policy or regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate that impact different factors such as:
•labor laws and wage increases;
•economic growth;
•abrupt currency fluctuations;
•high levels of inflation;
•exchange and capital control policies;
•high interest rates;
•liquidity of domestic capital and lending markets;
•inconsistent fiscal and monetary policy;
•liquidity and solvency of the financial system;
•limitations on ownership of rural land by foreigners;
•developments in trade negotiations through the World Trade Organization or other international organizations;
•environmental regulations;
•tax laws, including royalties and the effect of tax laws on distributions from our subsidiaries;
•changes in governmental economic or tax policies;
•restrictions on repatriation of investments and on the transfer of funds abroad;
•expropriations or nationalizations;
•import/export restrictions or other laws and policies affecting foreign trade and investment;
•increase in public expenses affecting the economy and fiscal deficits;
•price controls or price fixing regulations;
•restrictions on land acquisition or use or agricultural commodity production; and
•other political, social and economic developments, including political, social or economic instability, in or affecting the country where each business is based.
Uncertainty over whether governments will implement changes in policy or regulation affecting these or other factors in the future may contribute to economic uncertainty and heightened volatility in the securities markets, which may have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
25

Currency exchange rate fluctuations relative to the U.S. dollar in the countries in which we operate our businesses may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.
We operate exclusively outside the United States, and our businesses may be impacted by significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations results from the currency translation adjustments required in connection with the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. The currency exchange exposure stems from the generation of revenues and incurrence of expenses in different currencies and the devaluation of local currency revenues impairing the value of investments in U.S. Dollars. While the Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein are, and our future Consolidated Financial Statements will be, presented in U.S. dollars, the financial statements of our subsidiaries are prepared using the local currency as the functional currency and translated into U.S. dollars by applying: (i) a year-end exchange rate for assets and liabilities; and (ii) an average exchange rate for the year for income and expenses. Resulting exchange differences arising from the translation to our presentation currency are recognized as a separate component of equity. Currencies in Argentina and Brazil have fluctuated significantly against the U.S. dollar in the past. Accordingly, fluctuations in exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar could impair the comparability of our results from period to period and have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
The Argentine Peso depreciated 21.86% against the U.S. dollar in 2016, 17.36% in 2017, 102.16% in 2018, 58.86% in 2019 and 40.51% in 2020, based on the official exchange rates published by the Argentine Central Bank (Banco Central de la República Argentina - BCRA). In the past years, the Argentine government imposed restrictions on the purchase of foreign currency (see “—Risks Related to Argentina—Exchange controls could restrict the inflow and outflow of funds in Argentina and may substantially limit the ability of companies to retain or obtain foreign currency or make payments abroad.”) which measures gave rise to an unofficial market where the U.S. dollar traded at a different market value than reflected in the official Argentine Peso – U.S. Dollar exchange rate. Due to the foreign exchange crisis generated in August 2019 and the continued reduction of the Argentine Central Bank’s foreign currency reserves, since September 1, 2019 the Argentine government reinstated rigid exchange controls and transfer restrictions, substantially limiting the ability to obtain foreign currency or make certain payments or distributions out of Argentina (see “— Risks Related to Argentina — Exchange controls restrict the inflow and outflow of funds in Argentina and may substantially limit the ability of companies to retain or obtain foreign currency or make payments abroad”).
The Brazilian currency has historically suffered frequent fluctuations. As a consequence of inflationary pressures, in the past, the Brazilian government has implemented various economic plans and adopted a number of exchange rate policies, including sudden devaluations, periodic mini-devaluations during which the frequency of adjustments has ranged from daily to monthly, floating exchange rate systems, exchange controls and dual exchange rate markets. Formally the value of the Real against foreign currencies is determined under a free-floating exchange rate regime, but in fact the Brazilian government is currently intervening in the market, through currency swaps and trading in the spot market, among other measures, every time the currency exchange rate is above or below the levels that the Brazilian government considers appropriate, taking into account, inflation, growth, the performance of the Real against the U.S dollar in comparison with other currencies and other economic factors. Periodically, there are significant fluctuations in the value of the Real against the U.S. dollar. The Real depreciated 46.2% against the U.S. dollar in 2015 and appreciated 16.8% in 2016. In 2017, 2018 and 2019, the Real depreciated against the U.S. dollar 1.5%, 17.1% and 4.02%, respectively. In 2020 the Real depreciated 28.9% against the U.S. dollar.
Future fluctuations in the value of the local currencies relative to the U.S. dollar in the countries in which we operate may adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected.
Inflation in some of the countries in which we operate, along with governmental measures to curb inflation, may have a significant negative effect on the economies of those countries and, as a result, on our financial condition and results of operations.
In the past, some of the countries in which we operate, particularly Argentina and Brazil, have experienced, or are currently experiencing, high rates of inflation, adversely affecting their economies and financial markets, and limiting the ability of their governments to create conditions that stimulate or maintain economic growth. Although inflation rates in some of these countries (other than Argentina, as further explained in “-Risks Related to Argentina-Our results of operations may be adversely affected by high and possibly increasing inflation in Argentina”) have been relatively low in the recent past, we cannot assure you that this trend will continue. The measures taken by the governments of these countries to control inflation have often included maintaining a tight monetary policy with high interest rates, thereby restricting the availability of credit and retarding economic growth. Measures to combat inflation and public speculation about possible additional actions have also contributed significantly to economic uncertainty in many of these countries and to heightened volatility in their securities markets. Periods of higher inflation may also slow the growth rate of local economies. Inflation is also likely to increase some
26

of our costs and expenses, which we may not be able to fully pass on to our clients, which could adversely affect our operating margins and operating income.
A portion of our operating costs in Argentina are denominated in Argentine Pesos and most of our operating costs in Brazil are denominated in Brazilian Reais. Inflation in Argentina or Brazil, without a corresponding Peso or Real devaluation, could result in an increase in our operating costs without a commensurate increase in our revenues, which could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to pay our foreign currency denominated obligations.
On January 7, 2016, the Argentine Statistics and Census Agency (Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas y Censos - “INDEC”) ceased publishing certain statistical data and, after implementing methodological reforms, resumed publications of the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) on June 16, 2016, which reached annual rates of 40.9% at the end of the fiscal year 2016, 24,8% at the end of the fiscal year 2017, 47.6% at the end of fiscal year 2018, 53.8% at the end of fiscal year 2019 and 36.1% at the end of fiscal year 2020 (see “— Risks Related to Argentina-The credibility of several Argentine economic indices have been called into question, which may lead to a lack of confidence in the Argentine economy and may in turn limit our ability to access the credit and capital markets” and “—Risks Related to Argentina— Our results of operations may be adversely affected by high and possibly increasing inflation in Argentina”).
Brazil has historically experienced high rates of inflation. Inflation, as well as government efforts to curb inflation, has had significant negative effects on the Brazilian economy, particularly prior to 1995. The inflation rate was 7.2% in 2016, as measured by the General Market Price Index (Indice Geral de Preços - Mercado), compiled by the Getulio Vargas Foundation (Fundação Getúlio Vargas). However, in 2017 Brazil registered a deflation of 0.53% due to a decrease in the price of food products. In 2018 Brazil registered an inflation of 7.5%, 7.3% in 2019 due to the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar and the increase of the prices of primary products and 23.14% in 2020 due to COVID-19, the depreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar and the increase of the prices of primary products. A significant proportion of our cash costs and our operating expenses are denominated in Brazilian Reais and tend to increase with Brazilian inflation.
The Brazilian government’s measures to control inflation have in the past included maintaining a tight monetary policy with high interest rates, thereby restricting the availability of credit and reducing economic growth. This policy has changed in the last two years, when the Brazilian government decreased the interest rate by 775 basis points. Subsequently, the high inflation, arising from the lower interest rate, and the intention to maintain this rate at low levels, led the Brazilian government to adopt other measures to control inflation, such as tax relief for several sectors of the economy and tax cuts for the products included in the basic food basket. These measures were not sufficient to control the inflation, which led the Brazilian government to reinstate a tighter monetary policy. As a result, interest rates have fluctuated significantly. The Special System for Settlement and Custody (Sistema Especial de Liquidação e Custódia, or “SELIC”) interest rate in Brazil at year-end was 13.75% in 2016, 7% in 2017, 6.5% in 2018, 4.5% in 2019 and 2.00% in 2020 as determined by the Comitê de Política Monetária, or COPOM.
Argentina and/or Brazil may experience high levels of inflation in the future, which may impact domestic demand for our products. Inflationary pressures may also weaken investor confidence in Argentina and/or Brazil, curtail our ability to access foreign financial markets and lead to further government intervention in the economy, including interest rate increases, restrictions on tariff adjustments to offset inflation, intervention in foreign exchange markets and actions to adjust or fix currency values, which may trigger or exacerbate increases in inflation, and consequently have an adverse impact on us. In an inflationary environment, the value of uncollected accounts receivable, as well as of unpaid accounts payable, declines rapidly. If the countries in which we operate experience high levels of inflation in the future and price controls are imposed, we may not be able to adjust the rates we charge our customers to fully offset the impact of inflation on our cost structures, which could adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.
Depreciation of the Peso or the Real relative to the U.S. Dollar or the Euro may also create additional inflationary pressures in Argentina or Brazil that may negatively affect us. Depreciation generally curtails access to foreign financial markets and may prompt government intervention, including recessionary governmental policies. Depreciation also reduces the U.S. Dollar or Euro value of dividends and other distributions on our common shares and the U.S. Dollar or Euro equivalent of the market price of our common shares. Any of the foregoing might adversely affect our business, operating results, and cash flow, as well as the market price of our common shares.
Conversely, in the short term, a significant increase in the value of the Peso or the Real against the U.S. Dollar would adversely affect the respective Argentine and/or Brazilian government’s income from exports. This could have a negative effect on gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth and employment and could also reduce the public sector’s revenues in those countries by reducing tax collection in real terms, as a portion of public sector revenues are derived from the collection of export taxes.
27

Disruption of transportation and logistics services, insufficient investment in public infrastructure or disruption to any aspect of the supply chain could adversely affect our operating results.
One of the main disadvantages of the agricultural sector in the countries in which we operate is that key growing regions lie far from major ports. As a result, efficient access to transportation infrastructure and ports is critical to the growth of agriculture as a whole in the countries in which we operate and of our operations in particular. Improvements in transportation infrastructure are likely to be required to make more agricultural production accessible to export terminals at competitive prices. A substantial portion of agricultural production in the countries in which we operate is currently transported by truck, a means of transportation significantly more expensive than the rail transportation available to U.S. and other international producers. Our dependence on truck transportation may affect our position as a low-cost producer so that our ability to compete in the world markets may be impaired.
Substantial investments are required for road and rail improvement projects, which may not be completed on a timely basis, if at all. Any delay or failure in developing infrastructure systems could reduce the demand for our products, impede our products’ delivery or impose additional costs on us. We currently outsource the transportation and logistics services necessary to operate our business. Any disruption in these services could result in supply problems at our farms and processing facilities and impair our ability to deliver our products to our customers in a timely manner.
In Brazil, a strike held by truckers in May 2018 resulted in a complete stop of road transportation throughout the country. As a consequence, the Brazilian government, issued Provisional Measure No. 832 and Law No. 13,703/2018, which established a Minimum Price for Road Freight Transport Policy and created the "Freight Table", in which minimum and mandatory transportation cost values are set each six months by the Agência Nacional de Transportes Terrestres - ANTT (National Land Transport Agency). With the creation of the Freight Table, many companies in the agribusiness sector were adversely affected by the increase in transportation costs.
We are exposed to the risk of disruption to any aspect of the supply chain, to suppliers’ operations or to distribution channels, and the deterioration in the financial condition of a trading partner. These may be caused by a cyber-event, global health crisis, major fire, violent weather conditions or other natural disasters that affect manufacturing or other facilities of our operating subsidiaries or those of their suppliers and distributors. In certain geographic areas where we operate, insurance coverage may not be obtainable on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. Coverage may be subject to limitations or we may be unable to recover damages from its insurers.
Disruption may also be caused by spread of infectious disease (such as COVID-19) or by a deterioration in labor or union relations, disputes or work stoppages or other labor-related developments affecting Adecoagro or its suppliers and distributors (See "— We may be exposed to risks related to health epidemics, and the COVID-19 in particular, that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and operating results”).
Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise our technology infrastructure and information and expose us to processes disruption and liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.
In the ordinary course of our business, we depend on technology to carry out our business. We also collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our customers and suppliers, and personally identifiable information of our employees, in our data centers and on our networks. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to our operations. In addition, these systems may require modifications or upgrades as a result of technological changes or growth in our business. Although we take actions to secure our systems and electronic information and have disaster recovery plans in case of incidents that could cause major disruptions to our business, these measures may not be enough. In January 2020, we experienced an invasion by a computer virus that temporarily compromised our network, and a significant number of our servers and personal computers at our corporate offices. Although the cyberattack did not impact our production operations systems or financial and accounting systems, we were required to execute a contingency plan to restore the affected services, and return to a safe and normal network conditions.
Despite our security measures, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our networks, our systems, and eventually suffer from systems disruption and/or having the information stored there accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, fines from governmental authorities, disrupt our operations, damage our reputation, and cause over costs to remedy the harm suffered, which could adversely affect our business/operating margins, revenues and competitive position.

Non-compliance with data protection laws could adversely affect our business.
We operate in a complex regulatory and legal environment that exposes us to compliance and litigation risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. These laws may change, sometimes significantly, as a result of political, economic or social events.
In addition, on August 14, 2018, the Brazilian Federal Law No. 13,709/2018 was enacted, which sets out comprehensive data protection procedures and general principles and obligations that apply across multiple economic sectors and contractual relationships (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados, or the “LGPD”). The LGPD establishes detailed rules for the collection, use, processing and storage of personal data and will affect all economic sectors, including the relationship between customers and suppliers of goods and services, employees and employers and other relationships in which personal data is collected, whether in a digital or physical environment. The obligations established by LGPD are already in effect, and all legal entities are required to adapt their data processing activities to these new rules. The data protection regime imposes more stringent data protection standards on Brazilian residents.
We are currently evaluating the impact that the LGPD will have on our business practices and associate compliance costs.
Until adaptation in completed, any breaches of the LGPD may subject us to penalties and/or fines and a requirement to notify Governmental Authorities and parties whose data has been affected.
The prolonged home office period may increase our exposure to security breaches which can adversely affect us.
Effective August, 2021, failure to comply with LGPD can give rise to an administrative fine, per infraction, of up to 2% of group or conglomerate revenues in Brazil, up to a total maximum of fifty million reais (R$ 50,000,000.00) per infraction.
Until August 2021, however, even if no administrative sanctions may be imposed, the obligations arising from the LGPD are already enforceable and we may be subject to claims, indemnification and/or fines from data subjects, and/or other governmental authorities in general.
Risks Related to Argentina
The measures taken or to be implemented by the Argentine government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on our business and operations
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. This pandemic, as well as the reality or fear of any other adverse public health developments, could adversely and materially affect, among other things, our manufacturing and supply chain operations, including due to the reduction or closure of our production units and the interruption of the supply of raw materials. The local, national and international response to the pandemic continues to rapidly evolve. Responses have included voluntary and, in some cases, mandatory quarantines as well as shutdowns and other restrictions on travel and commercial, social and other activities.
The Argentine government has taken several measures regarding the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak to date. On March 18, 2020, through Decree No. 287/2020 and Administrative Decision No. 409/2020, the Argentine Executive Branch extended the public health emergency following the increasing spread in Argentina. On March 20, 2020, the Decree No. 297/2020 (“Decree 297”) was published in the Official Gazette by which the Argentine Executive Branch implemented a social, preventive and mandatory isolation regime (“Mandatory Isolation Regime”), beginning on March 20, 2020, which was extended until November 8, 2020. As of the date of this report, the activities pursued by our Argentine subsidiaries, related to agricultural production, distribution and commercialization, were exempted from the Mandatory Isolation Regime. The new regulations did require our Argentine subsidiaries to guarantee the hygiene and safety conditions established by the Ministry of Health to preserve the health of their employees.
On March 31, 2020, the Argentine Executive Branch prohibited: (i) employment terminations without cause; (ii) employment terminations and/or suspensions for lack of workload; (iii) employment terminations and/or suspensions due to reduced workload; and/or (iv) employment terminations and/or suspensions for force majeure events. Suspensions pursuant to Section 223 bis of the Employment Contract Law, regarding suspensions due to lack of work and/or force majeure, were exempted from this prohibition. In addition, Decree No. 39/2021 further extended the prohibition on terminations without cause, terminations based on the lack or reduction of work, and suspensions for force majeure events until May 31, 2021. It is likely that these restrictions are further extended if the scenario remains the same or substantially similar to the current one.
29

Since November 9, 2020, pursuant to Decree No. 875/2020 the Mandatory Isolation Regime was replaced with a mandatory distance regime (“Mandatory Distance Regime”) in many Argentine provinces and areas. During the Mandatory Distance Regime, individuals must maintain a minimum social distance of two meters, use face masks in shared spaces, sanitize their hands, and strictly comply with the protocols for activities, recommendations, and instructions implemented by the provincial and federal health authorities. In case of detecting situations of risk of spread of the COVID-19, the provincial governors are empowered to reinstate the Mandatory Isolation Regime for individuals entering the Province or the City of Buenos Aires from other jurisdictions, with prior intervention of the provincial health authority and for a maximum period of fourteen days. The Mandatory Distance Regime implemented in April 9, 2021 new restrictions to means of transport, circulation of individuals, remote work, and a curfew limiting circulation in high sanitary-epidemiological risk. This Mandatory Distance Regime has been extended until April 30, 2021. The extension of the Mandatory Isolation Regime in several Argentine provinces as well as other actions taken by the government have resulted in hurdles for the commercialization, distribution and administrative aspects of our Argentine subsidiaries’ businesses.
Under the new regulations, the economic, industrial, commercial, and service activities by business entities, including Adecoagro, may be carried out, provided businesses have an operating protocol approved by the provincial health authority that includes all the recommendations and instructions of the federal health authority and restrict the use of closed surfaces allowing a maximum of 50% of their capacity (subject to certain exceptions). For more information on how the Company complies with these protocols see “Information of the Company—Business Overview—COVID-19—Government measures in Argentina and Brazil".
The measures to control the COVID-19 pandemic have negatively impacted global economy, disrupted financial markets and international trade, resulted in increased unemployment levels and significantly impacted global supply chains, all of which has had and may continue to have an adverse impact in Argentina’s economy and may negatively impact our industry and our business.
Maximum Prices and Supply Obligations
In connection with the declaration of the COVID-19 sanitary emergency, in order to guarantee the regular supply of essential products, on March 20, 2020, the Argentine Government issued general regulations (applicable to most producers) particularly, Resolution No. 100/2020 of the Secretary of Domestic Commerce, imposing the obligation to those who participate in the production, distribution and commercialization chain of certain products, to (i) sell products to their maximum prices set as of March 6, 2020; and (ii) increase production up to their facilities’ full capacity and provide the proper measures to guarantee their transport and supply. Originally, these obligations were supposed to be effective for a 30-day term. However, the Argentine Government successively extended these obligations, in principle, until May 15, 2021. It is likely that these obligations would be extended again. Since this regime has been in place, only certain and limited price increases had been authorized. Considering the inflationary context in the Argentine economy, since many of the product prices were capped to their prices as of March 20, 2020, with some few limited authorized increments, these measures have negatively impacted our Argentine subsidiaries’ businesses.
Additionally, the Argentine Government created (i) an informative regime for the purpose of publishing standard maximum prices of a basic listing of consumer products for each province (which will be available on the website www.preciosmaximos.produccion.gob.ar); and (ii) a public and free mechanism that allows the filing of claims and complaints by consumers and those included in the production, distribution and commercialization chain of the products included in the obligation to sell at maximum prices. This regulation impacted our processed rice and fluid milk products. The facilities of the Company have been inspected to control compliance of the abovementioned regulation. As long as this regulation is in place, the Company would face restrictions to freely implement price increases on the processed rice and fluid milk products.
Those measures (jointly with other announcements that up to the present have not being turned into regulations) suggest that the Argentine Government would be planning to enforce the Supply Act broadly to avoid potential shortage on the supply or increase in the prices of products deemed essential. Since, the Secretary of Domestic Commerce has notified several companies within the Argentine subsidiaries’ industries, urging them to work at full capacity. Some of them have even been formally accused of not complying with the Supply Act. Recently, by means of Resolution No. 330/2021, the Secretary of Domestic Commerce has officially urged all industrial and commercial “big business” to manufacture, distribute and market their goods and services to the maximum of their installed capacity, while the health emergency persists in Argentina.
On April 4, 2020 the Argentine Government issued Decree No. 351/2020, which authorized the intervention of local authorities (both at Provincial and Municipal level) to control maximum prices under the recently adopted regulations and adopted rules to coordinate the enforcement of regulations. This has resulted in the need to allocate additional economic and
30

human resources for the Argentine subsidiaries to comply with governmental requirements and filings pursuant to the regulations in place.
In accordance with Resolution No. 552/2020 (as amended), published on November 12, 2020, the Secretary of Domestic Commerce suspended the effects of Resolution No. 100/2020 for a list of products included in Annex I (among others, brown rice, prepared rice, condensed milks, soy milks, vegetable milks; and brie, camembert, blue and provolone cheeses) that due to their characteristics and purpose are not relevant for the satisfaction of the basic needs of consumers and users, until May 15, 2021.
The Supermarkets’ Shelves Law published on March 17, 2020 (as implemented by Decree No. 991/2020 published in the Official Gazette on December 15, 2020), is applicable to the products marketed by the Company. The main objectives of this law are: (i) to ensure that the price of certain products remains clear and competitive for the benefit of consumers, (ii) to maintain harmony and balance between economic operators, (iii) to expand the supply of artisanal, regional and national products produced by micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, and (iv) to promote the offer of products manufactured by small producers. Although the law is focused on supermarkets, it might have an impact on the Company’s commercialization strategies. The Supermarkets’ Shelves Law resulted in the Argentine government imposing increasing regulations affecting the Argentine subsidiaries’ businesses, often generating further marketing and distribution costs for the purposes of complying with these regulations.
On March 17, 2021, the Secretary of Domestic Commerce published in the Official Gazette Resolution No. 237/2021 which created a new information regime (Sistema Informativo para la Implementación de Políticas de Reactivación Económica) (“SIPRE”; after its acronym in Spanish), according to which the Company might have to submit extensive monthly reports on prices, production and sales. This regime has also increased compliance costs and forced the Argentine subsidiaries to allocate resources to comply with these information regimes.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 283/2021, published in the Official Gazette on March 31, 2021, the Secretary of Domestic Commerce created the Product Labeling Inspection and Compliance Monitoring System to ensure that certain product labels do not contain inaccurate information that deceives consumers (Sistema de Fiscalización de Rótulos y Etiquetas) (“SiFiRE”; after its acronym in Spanish). As provided in this regulation, this information regime is aimed at the defense of fair trade and the protection of consumer rights. The SiFiRE established a new set of rules applicable to the following product labels: (i) foods; (ii) beverages; (iii) drinkable foods; (iv) toiletries; (v) personal hygiene products and; (vi) personal care and household cleaning products suitable for human use and handling. Any misleading labels must be amended. If infringing products have already been launched to the market, suppliers and importers must place a correction sticker on them at their own expense. The sanctions provided in Consumer Protection Law No. 24,240 and Executive Order No. 274/2019 on Fair Trade may apply to corporations, including us.
Through Resolution No. 330/2021, published in the Official Gazette on April 9, 2021, the Secretary of Domestic Commerce ordered all companies from the commerce and industry sectors, that during 2019 have recorded total sales in the domestic market in excess of the amounts established by Resolution No. 220/2019 (i.e., companies which are not considered small or medium, pursuant to the parameters included therein), to increase their production up to the maximum of their installed capacity and to arbitrate appropriate measures to guarantee the transportation, distribution and supply of inputs and final goods produced throughout the Argentine Republic, until the sanitary emergency declared by the Social Solidarity and Productive Reactivation Law No. 27,541 remains in force (in principle, until December 21, 2021). This Resolution included a similar provision to the one already provided under Resolution No. 100/2020 referred to above.
Since Resolution No. 330/2021 does not include any specific requirements, it is difficult to determine at this time both its scope and how compliance with this regulation is going to be monitored by the Argentine Government. However, the Argentine subsidiaries expect to incur further compliance costs due to these regulations.
Any application of these measures could potentially affect costs, expenses and/or margins.
Remote Work
COVID-19 pandemic pressured most companies which were not excluded from the Argentine Isolation Regime to implement measures to guarantee remote work for their employees. Consequently, several liabilities such as cybersecurity, privacy policies, adequate computing devices and professional use of personal computing devices have to be implemented by such companies.
31

Although as of the date of this report the activities carried out by our Argentines subsidiaries have been excluded from the Argentine Isolation Regime, because it provides as “essential” activities and services related to production, distribution and agricultural commercialization, we cannot assure that this exception will continue to apply to our operations.
The foregoing measures taken by the Argentine government in response to the COVID-19 virus and any future actions that may implemented are material intrusions and limits on the ability of the Company to operate its businesses and which will adversely impact the price of our products and our operating results.
On August 14th, 2020, the Legal Regime of Teleworking Contract under Law No. 27,555 (the “Teleworking Law”) was published in the Official Gazette. This Law regulates dependent work provided from the employee's own home or from a place other than the employer's establishment and introduces modifications to the Labor Contract Law establishing the concept of teleworking. In addition, the Teleworking Law provides the minimum legal requirements for regulating teleworking, it delegates specific aspects to collective bargaining, recognizes rights and duties for those who work under this modality (e.g., right of reversibility, right to digital disconnection, trade union rights, right to privacy) and also provides regulations referring to working hours, provision of work tools and reimbursement of expenses.
On January 20, Executive Decree No. 27/2021 approving the regulation of the Teleworking Law was published in the Official Gazette, including provisions regulating certain aspects of the Teleworking Law: the right to digital disconnection; conditions under which caretaking tasks may be performed by teleworking individuals; limits and conditions for reversal; how work tools are to be provided and expenses reimbursed; union representation of teleworking individuals; health and safety conditions; employer oversight systems; and the right to privacy of teleworking individuals.
On February 5, Resolution 54/2021 of the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security was published ordering that Teleworking Law will enter into force on April 1, 2021. As long as the restrictions to circulate due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the application of this law is in suspense.
Argentine economic and political conditions and perceptions of these conditions in the international market may have a direct impact on our business and our access to international capital and debt markets, and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
A significant portion of our operations, property and customers are located in Argentina. Consequently, the value of our assets and properties and the results of our operations depend on the macroeconomics, regulatory, social and political conditions of Argentina and on the exchange rates between the Argentine peso and foreign currency. These conditions include growth rates, inflation rates, exchange rates, taxes, foreign exchange controls, changes in the interest rates, changes of the state policies, social instability and other domestic and international political and economic events affecting Argentina.
The Argentine economy has experienced extreme volatility in the recent decades, with uneven periods of economic growth, periods of high inflation and devaluation of the Argentine Peso against the U.S. dollar. Our business and operations may be affected by the economic and political events that may affect the Argentine economy, such as: price controls, foreign exchange controls, currency devaluations, high interest rates, increase in public expenses, tax increase or other regulatory initiatives.
The credibility of several Argentine economic indices during the Fernández de Kirchner administration (years 2004 through 2015) has been called into question. By previously understating inflation, the INDEC had overstated economic growth in real terms. The adjustments made by the Macri administration to INDEC lead to a determination of real GDP growth of 48.6% for the period of 2004 to 2015, as opposed to 65% growth in real terms for the same period resulting from the information used prior to June 2016. Because of these reforms, on November 9, 2016, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (the “IMF”) lifted its censure on Argentina, noting that Argentina had resumed the publication of data in a manner consistent with its obligations under the Articles of Agreement of the IMF. On June 29, 2017, INDEC also published revised GDP data for the years 2004 through 2015. According to the INDEC, Argentina’s GDP grew by 2.9% in 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. Additionally, according to the INDEC, Argentina’s GDP decreased by 2.5% in 2018, and 2.2% in 2019. In addition, in 2020 the general macroeconomic conditions worsened as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to INDEC, during the second quarter of 2020, GDP declined by 19.1% year over year (which represented the most significant decline of the GDP in Argentine history) with a peak of 16.2% in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2020, and during the third quarter of 2020, economic activity declined by 10.2% year over year.
Since the beginning of 2015, international commodity prices for Argentina’s primary commodity exports have declined, which has had an adverse effect on Argentina’s economic growth. A continued decline in the international prices for
32

Argentina’s main commodity exports could have a direct negative effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition, as well as on Argentina’s economy.
On August 11, 2019, presidential and legis+lative primary elections were held in Argentina, in which Alberto Fernandez and former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner from the “Frente de Todos” (a coalition formed to participate in the general elections) received 47.65% of the votes while president Mauricio Macri's party obtained 32.08%. On October 27, 2019, Alberto Fernández and Cristina Kirchner, as vice-president, won the presidential elections and took office on December 10, 2019.
After the primary elections, the markets reacted negatively, and the economic conditions continued to deteriorate. Due to, among other things, the rise of inflation, the continued demand for salary increases, the growth of the fiscal deficit, the required payments to be made on public debt, the reduction of industrial growth, the recession and the increase of the capital outflows from Argentina, the Government of former President Macri re-introduced rigid restrictions and foreign exchange controls in September 1, 2019, which among other things, significantly curtailed access to the official foreign exchange market (the “FX Market”or Mercado Libre de Cambios) by individuals and entities (see “Additional Information-Exchange Controls”).
During the end of 2019 and early 2020, social and political tension and high levels of poverty and unemployment persisted industrial activity and consumption diminished considerably. The deterioration of the economy significantly increased the social and political turmoil, including civil unrest, riots, looting, nationwide protests, strikes and street demonstrations. Due to the high levels of inflation and devaluation, employers both in the public and private sectors are experiencing significant pressure from organized labor unions and their employees to further increase salaries (see “— The Argentine government may order salary increases to be paid to employees in the private sector, which would increase our operating costs”).
On December 23, 2019, the Social Solidarity and Productive Reactivation Law No. 27,541 was published in the Official Gazette, which declared the public emergency in economic, financial, fiscal, administrative, social security, tariff, energy, health and social matters. As a result of this measure, the Argentine president and the National Congress have gained considerable powers to alter governmental policies and measures related to the Argentine economy (See “— The impact of the Argentine congressional and presidential elections on the future economic and political environment of Argentina remains uncertain”).
Since December 2019, upon the outbreak of the COVID-19, the global economy has been negatively impacted, causing the disruption of the financial markets and international trade, resulting in increasing unemployment levels and significantly impacting global supply chains, all of which has had and continues to have an adverse impact in Argentina’s economy and may negatively materially impact our industry and our business (See “ – The measures taken or to be implemented by the Argentine government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on our business and operations). The decline in the GDP in Argentina, the deepening recession and the increase of the unemployment also led to an increase in poverty, which, according to INDEC, as of June 30, 2020 affected more than 40.9% of the population.
Regarding the foreign exchange market and restrictions, in an effort to contain the escalation of the currency exchange rate, the Argentine Central Bank has been selling its reserves of U.S. dollars, which has resulted in a decrease in the Argentine Central Bank's international reserves from US$65.7 billion as of December 31, 2018 to US$39.4 billion as of December 31, 2020. However, the actual net liquid international reserves of the Argentine Central Bank would be substantially lower, as informed by private sources. Moreover, the Argentine government has been financing all economic assistance related to the COVID-19 pandemic with a significant issuance of currency, which has also contributed to increase inflation, the demand for U.S. dollars and the devaluation of the peso.
The Argentine government also adopted measures regarding sovereign debt, including a “re-profiling” or restructuring of certain public debt bonds subject to Argentine law and also conducted a debt restructuring process of sovereign bonds subject to foreign law which was closed during August 2020 (See " —The economy of Argentina may be affected by its government’s limited access to financing from international markets and the result of failure to pay its debt obligations and the current debt restructuring process").
The failure of the Argentine Government to restructure its current debt with the IMF and to address the Argentine macroeconomic problems is worsening the economic conditions. In this regard, the country risk index published by J.P. Morgan as of March 4, 2021 reached a peak of 1547 basis points since the successful restructuring of the Argentine international sovereign bonds in August 2020. If the Argentine government does not restructure its outstanding debt with the IMF and other international financial institutions and continues failing to urgently address the necessary measures to improve the macroeconomic condition of the country, the current economic conditions, including inflation, unemployment, decline in GDP, Peso depreciation, and/or other economic factors over which we do not have control may continue to worsen, eventually
33

provoking a general economic collapse, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results and costs of operations.
We cannot now fully estimate the impact that the measures currently adopted by the government, or those that it may implement in the future, will have on the Argentine economy as a whole and on the business, equity and results of our operations.
Continuing inflation, increase of unemployment, decline in GDP, peso depreciation, and/or other future economic, social and political developments in Argentina, over which we have no control, may adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
The impact of the Argentine congressional and presidential elections on the future economic and political environment of Argentina remains uncertain.
Since taking office in December 10, 2019, the Alberto Fernández administration (the “Fernández Administration”) announced and implemented the following measures:
• Law of Social Solidarity and Productive Reactivation: On December 23, 2019, Law No. 27,541 Social Solidarity and Productive Reactivation was published in the Official Gazette (the “Solidarity Law”). The Solidarity Law declared a public emergency in economic, financial, fiscal, administrative, social security, tariff, energy, health and social matters and granted the Executive Branch with broad powers in many aspects related to the public emergency. The Solidarity Law and related regulations adopted on on December 27, 2019 by Decree No. 99/2019, introduced important foreign exchange restrictions and tax modifications, among other provisions related to sovereign debt, energy and social security. Decree No. 99/2019 provided measures regarding employer contributions, applicable rates for foreign goods and provided that, digital services will be taxed at a 8%, and the acquisition services abroad and passenger transport services destined outside the country at 30%. The Solidarity Law delegated in the Executive powers from Congress to determine the export duty rates of exports of all goods and determines different caps for different products. Most agricultural goods have a cap of 15% export duties rate or less (currently, most of them are set between 5%-12%) except for soybean products which are mostly set at a 33% export duty rate.
• Price Control Program: On January 7, 2020, the government relaunched the so-called Programa Precios Cuidados, a voluntary price control program, whose goal is to foster consumption and establish reference prices for households products with the highest consumption. Initially, 310 products were included within Programa Precios Cuidados and public officials stated that the prices of the products included within the program were to be reduced by 8% on the average. Two of the milk products commercialized by the Company are covered by the Programa Precios Cuidados.
• Maximum prices and supply obligations: See “— The measures taken or to be implemented by the Argentine government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on our business and operations — Maximum Prices and Supply Obligations”.
• Law of Sustainability of Public Debt issued under Foreign Law: See " — The economy of Argentina may be affected by its government’s limited access to financing from international markets and the result of failure to pay its debt obligations and the current debt restructuring process”.
• Tax Reform Law: See “— Changes in the Argentine tax laws may adversely affect the results of our operations, financial condition and cash flows”.
• Supermarket Shelves Law: See “— The measures taken or to be implemented by the Argentine government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on our business and operations — Supermarket Shelves Law”.
• Coronavirus measures: See “— The measures taken or to be implemented by the Argentine government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on our business and operations".
• Teleworking Law. See “— The measures taken or to be implemented by the Argentine government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on our business and operations — Remote Work”.
34

We have no control over the implementation of the reforms to the regulatory framework that governs our operations and cannot guarantee that these reforms will be implemented or, if implemented, that such implementation will benefit our business. The failure of these measures to achieve their intended goals could adversely affect the Argentine economy, which, in turn, may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
On October 24, 2021 the congressional elections will be held, by means of which part of the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate will be elected. Primary elections that will define candidates of each political party are scheduled for August 8, 2021. The results of the elections and their impact on the Fernández Administration as mid-term elections are still uncertain.
This political uncertainty in respect of economic measures could lead to volatility in the market prices of securities of Argentine companies and our common shares, and could have a negative impact in our domestic consumer markets, which, in turn, could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Argentine economy has been adversely affected by economic developments in other markets and by other general "contagion" effects.
Financial and securities markets in Argentina, and also the Argentine economy, are influenced by economic and market conditions in other markets worldwide, including those relating to the recent trade dispute between China and the United States. Although economic conditions vary from country to country, investor's reactions to events occurring in one country sometimes demonstrate a "contagion" effect in which an entire region or class of investment is disfavored by international investors.
Furthermore, weak, flat or negative economic growth in any of Argentina’s major trading partners, such as Brazil, could adversely affect Argentina’s balance of payments and, consequently, its economic growth.
The Argentine economy may also be affected by conditions in developed economies, such as the United States, that are significant trading partners of Argentina or have influence over global economic cycles and over short-term evolution of commodity prices. If interest rates increase significantly in developed economies, including the United States, Argentina and its developing economy trading partners, such as Brazil, could find it more difficult and expensive to borrow capital and refinance existing debt, which could adversely affect economic growth in those countries. Decreased growth from Argentina’s trading partners could have a material adverse effect on the markets for Argentina’s exports and, in turn, adversely affect economic growth. Any of these potential risks to the Argentine economy could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and result of operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has also destabilized global financial markets, which has had a negative impact on global trade and the global economy, including the Argentine economy, which in turn could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition (See “ — Risks Related to Our Business and Industries —The COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on our business and operating results”).
In addition, Argentina is highly dependent on the export of certain commodities, such as soy, what has made the Argentine economy more vulnerable to fluctuations in the commodity prices. If international commodity prices decline, the Argentine economy could be adversely affected. In addition, adverse weather conditions can affect the production of commodities by the agricultural sector, which account for a significant portion of Argentina's export revenues.
All these circumstances could have a negative impact on the levels of government revenues, available foreign exchange and the government's ability to service its sovereign debt, and could either generate recessionary or inflationary pressures, depending on the government's reaction. Either of these results would adversely impact Argentina's economic growth and, therefore, our financial condition and results of operations.
Consequently, there can be no assurance that the Argentine financial system and securities markets will not continue to be adversely affected by events in developed countries' economies or events in other emerging markets, which could in turn, adversely affect the Argentine economy and, indirectly, our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the market value of our securities.

The economy of Argentina may be affected by its government’s limited access to financing from international markets and the result of failure to pay its debt obligations and the current debt restructuring process.
The Argentine economy has been experiencing significant instability in the past decades, including devaluations, high inflation, and prolonged periods of reduced economic growth, which have led to payment defaults on Argentina’s foreign debt and multiple downgrades in Argentina’s foreign debt rating with attendant restrictions on Argentina’s ability to obtain financing in the international markets.
Argentina’s 2001 sovereign default and its failure to fully restructure its sovereign debt and negotiate with the holdout creditors has limited and may continue to limit Argentina’s ability to access international financing. In 2005, Argentina completed the restructuring of a substantial portion of its indebtedness and settled all of its debt with the IMF. Additionally, in June 2010, Argentina completed the restructuring of a significant portion of the defaulted bonds that were not exchanged in the 2005 restructuring. Holdout bondholders that declined to participate in the restructuring, filed lawsuits against Argentina in several countries, including the United States. Since late 2012, rulings from courts in the United States favorable to holdout bondholders aggravated investors’ concerns regarding investment in the country.
In February 2016, the Macri administration entered into settlement agreements with certain holdout bondholders to settle these claims, which were subject to the approval of the Argentine Congress. The Argentine government reached settlement agreements with holders of a significant portion of the defaulted bonds and has repaid the majority of the holdout creditors with the proceeds of a US$16.5 billion international offering of 3-year, 5-year, 10-year and 30-year bonds on April 22, 2016 -which bonds, among other sovereign bonds, were then restructured by the Fernández administration in August, 2020 -as explained below. Although the size of the outstanding claims has decreased significantly, litigation initiated by bondholders that have not accepted Argentina’s settlement offer of 2016 continues in several jurisdictions.
Additionally, foreign shareholders of several Argentine companies have filed claims with the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) alleging that the emergency measures adopted by the Argentine government since the crisis in 2001 and 2002 differ from the just and equal treatment standards set forth in several bilateral investment treaties to which Argentina is a party. The ICSID has ruled against Argentina with respect to many of these claims.
Litigation involving holdout creditors, claims with ICSID and other claims against the Argentine national government, resulted and may result in material judgments against the government, lead to attachments of or injunctions relating to Argentina’s assets, or could cause Argentina to default under its other obligations, and such events may prevent Argentina from obtaining favorable terms or interest rates when accessing international capital markets or from accessing international financing at all. Our ability to obtain U.S. dollar-denominated financing has been adversely impacted by these factors.
In May 2018, the Macri administration requested the IMF the granting of a Stand-By Arrangement for up to US$57.1 billion with the purpose of supporting the Argentine government’s economic plan.
As of the date of this report, the IMF disbursed an aggregate of US$44.70 billion. The Fernández administration is currently negotiating the restructuring of the terms of the Stand-By Arrangement, which payments become due as from 2021.
The Argentine government announced that it will also engage in negotiations with the Paris Club for the restructuring of the debt incurred with such institution given that there are also payments becoming due on the following months.
As of the date of this annual report, we cannot guarantee that the Argentine government and the IMF will reach an agreement on the restructuring of the Stand-By Arrangement, nor are we able to predict the future consequences for the Argentine economy in general or our business in particular if such agreement fails.
Pursuant to a report issued by the Secretary of Finance of the Argentine government, as of December 2019, Argentina’s foreign debt amounted to US$311.25 billion, which represented 91.6% of Argentina’s GDP. During 2020 the Argentine government carried out the restructuring of its public debt instrumented in bonds denominated in foreign currency governed by foreign law as well as bonds denominated in foreign currency governed by Argentine law, by means of debt restructuring procedures implemented internationally and locally, respectively, within each groups of creditors according to the type of sovereign debt.
On February 12, 2020, the Argentine Congress enacted Law No. 27,544 for the Restoration of the Sustainability of the Public Debt issued under Foreign Law, which provided for the restructuring of the Argentine external public debt. Through Decree No. 250/2020, published in the Official Gazette on March 10, 2020, the Argentine Executive Branch authorized negotiations for the restructuring of US$68.85 billion of sovereign bonds issued in foreign currency and governed by foreign
36

law. On April 17, 2020, Argentina announced an invitation to exchange its sovereign bonds governed by foreign law that were eligible for the restructuring for new bonds. The universe of eligible bonds that were subject to the exchange offer was comprised by bonds governed by the laws of New York (United States) and by the laws of the United Kingdom, denominated in several currencies (US Dollars, Euros and Swiss Francs). Within the universe of the bonds they were the instruments issued within the framework of the prior restructuring, carried out by the exchanges of years 2005 and 2010.
After several extensions and improvements made within the initial offer, on August 31, 2020, Argentina announced the results of the invitation to exchange. Argentina obtained the majorities required under the collective action clauses to exchange 99.01% of the eligible bonds, as a result of obtaining a level of acceptance of 93.55% of the bondholders to its exchange proposal launched in April and improved in July and in August, after the agreement with three groups of bondholders.
Within the context of the agreement with the groups of bondholders for the restructuring of sovereign debt governed by foreign law, Argentina also conducted a local exchange. Argentina launched an offer to exchange sovereign bonds denominated in US dollars and ‘dollar-linked’ issued under local law. The instruments subject to the local debt restructuring were affected by the deferral of payments of principal and interest until December 31, 2020, provided by Presidential Decree No. 346/20 published in the Official Gazette on April 6, 2020.
In August 2020, Argentina launched an offer to exchange this universe of sovereign bonds denominated in US dollars and ‘dollar-linked’ issued under Argentine law. As a result of this transaction, and as informed in Ministry of Economy press release on September 15, 2020, 99.41% of the bondholders of eligible instruments under this local exchange had accepted the offer.
The local debt exchange was then reopened and is ongoing as of the date of this report. On November 4, 2020, Resolution No. 540/2020 of the Ministry of Economy was published in the Official Gazette, which provided for the reopening of the local exchange and, for this purpose, set forth a procedure to allow eligible instruments which did not enter into the debt restructuring under Argentine law carried out on August and September 2020 to be tendered. The resolution provided that holders who were unable to enter the exchange within the prior invitation term may do so in successive acceptance terms which will be extended until July 28, 2021 in the conditions set forth therein.
In addition, in January 26, 2020 the Province of Buenos Aires, the largest estate in Argentina, also had a maturity of provincial sovereign debt for US$277 million in principal amount and interests that, after the failure of the negotiations for an extension, cancelled within the curing period in February 5, 2020. The Province of Buenos Aires had additional payments under its sovereign debt for US$110 million maturing in May 2020 and US$750 million maturing in June 2020. In May 2020 the Province of Buenos Aires, did not fulfill the payment of its international sub-sovereign bonds and since then is seeking to restructure them through an exchange offer. After several extensions without success, the Province of Buenos Aires has recently extended again the offer expiration date until March 26, 2021. There are other Argentine provinces which are also carrying out the restructuring of their bonds governed by foreign law and denominated in foreign currency.
As of the date of this annual report, the Argentine government and the IMF did not reach an agreement on the restructuring of the Stand-By Arrangement and there are no assurances that such agreement would be reached during 2021, nor are we able to predict the future consequences for the Argentine economy in general or our business in particular if such agreement is not reached.
Argentina is also aiming at obtaining a deferral of the payments which are due in the upcoming months of 2021 with the Paris Club and other international financial institutions, for which purposes the Government would have engaged in conversations but there is still uncertainty on the deferral of such payments.
If the negotiations with the IMF and the other international financial institutions fail or the Province of Buenos Aires or other provinces of Argentina fail to restructure their debt, the Argentine government defaults again in the payment of its sovereign debt or the measures adopted and to be adopted by the Argentine government to reduce the fiscal deficit, control inflation and stabilize the foreign exchange market are not effective, Argentina’s ability to obtain international or multilateral private financing or direct foreign investment may be limited, which may in turn impair its ability to implement reforms and public policies to foster economic growth, impair the ability of private sector entities to access the international capital markets or make the terms of such financing much less favorable that those accessible by companies in other countries in the region and may accelerate the depreciation of the Argentine peso, foster inflation and deepen the economic crisis and recession.
Lack of access to international or domestic financial markets could affect the projected capital expenditures for our operations in Argentina, which, in turn, may have an adverse effect on our financial condition or the results of our operations.
37

Argentina’s current account and balance of payment imbalances could lead to a depreciation of the Argentine peso, and as a result, affect our results of operations, our capital expenditure program and our ability to service our foreign currency liabilities.
According to INDEC, Argentina had a structural current account deficit that reached US$3.5 billion in 2019, US$27.3 billion in 2018, US$31.2 billion in 2017, US$15.1 billion in 2016, and US$17.6 billion in 2015. The account deficit between 2015 and 2017 originates in the stagnation of exports of goods, which have only increased by 1.4%, taking into account the compounded average growth rate or CAGR, between 2015 and 2017; in contrast, imports of goods have been increasing at a much faster speed, reaching a CAGR of 5.8% in the same period. Nonetheless, by the end of 2020, that structural current account deficit was turned around, reaching a US$3.0 billion surplus.
During the Macri administration, the account deficit was financed mainly with external debt issuances in the international debt markets. In addition, the settlement of the disputes over the 2001 defaulted debt crisis has allowed several provinces of Argentina and certain Argentine private companies to issue new debt securities in foreign markets. However, both the Argentine Government and certain provincial governments have implemented debt restructuring procedures of their sovereign debt and sub-sovereign debt bonds, respectively, some of which procedures are still ongoing (see " — The economy of Argentina may be affected by its government’s limited access to financing from international markets and the result of failure to pay its debt obligations and the current debt restructuring process”).
Because foreign direct investment remains stagnant in Argentina, it may become impossible for Argentina and its provinces to meet their debts obligations in the future, since Argentina’s foreign currency needs would severely overcome its foreign currency sources. If this level of uncertainty prevails on international investors, Argentina may suffer a “sudden stop” event, where investors stop lending money to Argentinean institutions. This, in turn, may result in large capital outflows that could not only force the Argentine government to default on its debt, but also generate a rapid and unanticipated depreciation of the argentine peso, a hike in local interest rates and a probable banking system crisis if bank deposits are largely withdrawn following social unrest.
The events described above have already taken place in recent decades in Argentina, and although the current administration intends to address the situation, as of the date of this annual report, the impact that the measures taken by the present administration will have on the Argentine economy as a whole cannot be predicted. As of the date of this report, the results of the measures already implemented and the Argentine government’s measures related to the outbreak of COVID-19, impacted the primary fiscal and financial deficit in 2020, that reached 6.5% and 8.5% of GDP, respectively, as a result of the income and expenditures measures that the Argentine government implemented to face the pandemic. Alberto Fernández's government measures aim to stabilize state accounts, but in principle they intend to maintain expansive policies that would mean initially even more increases in public spending, financed through the expansion of currency issuance.
The failure to reduce fiscal deficits could increase the level of uncertainty regarding the macroeconomic conditions in Argentina. In particular, it could lead to an increase in the inflation index, devaluation of the Argentine peso with respect to foreign currencies and a subsequent crisis in the balance of payments, greater local vulnerability to the international credit crisis or geopolitical shocks, rising rates of interest, erratic monetary policies, reduction in real wages and, as a consequence, in private consumption and reduction in growth rates. This level of uncertainty, over which we have no control, can affect our financial condition or the results of operations.
If a balance of payments crisis were to occur, a large depreciation of the Argentine peso against the U.S. dollar could adversely affect our ability to meet our foreign currency obligations. Furthermore, the negative effect such a crisis could have on the growth rates of the Argentine economy and its consumption patterns could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and result of operations.
If current levels of fiscal deficits are not reduced, the Argentine economy could be adversely affected, negatively impacting our business and results of operations.
Between 2007 and 2015, Fernández de Kirchner's administration significantly increased public spending. In the eleven-month period ended on November 30, 2015, the fiscal deficit increased by 363% annualized. During that period, the Fernández de Kirchner administration turned to the Argentine Central Bank and the National Social Security Administration (Administración Nacional de la Seguridad Social or “ANSES” after its Spanish acronym), to finance part of the public spending. Inflation continues to be a challenge for Argentina given its persistent nature in recent years. The Macri administration had announced its intention to reduce the primary fiscal deficit as a percentage of GDP over time and reduce the government's dependence on Argentine Central Bank financing. Given the difficulties of the Argentine public finances, the administration of former President Macri adopted several measures to finance public spending, for example, the revision of
38

subsidy policies (in particular those related to tariffs on energy, electricity and gas, water and public transport) and the implementation of an expansive monetary policy. These measures resulted in a further increase in prices and, therefore, adversely affected, consumer purchasing power and the overall economic activity. In addition, measures taken by the administration of President Alberto Fernández, the implementation of the Solidarity Law (See “— The impact of the Argentine congressional and presidential elections on the future economic and political environment of Argentina remains uncertain”) as well as the measures related to the outbreak of COVID-19 will have an impact on the Argentine economy (See “— The measures taken or to be implemented by the Argentine government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may cause adverse effect on our business and operations”).
Accordingly, Argentina has had severe macroeconomic imbalances, including frequent and extreme fiscal deficits. Since 1961, the Argentine government has had yearly fiscal deficits in approximately 90% of the time (47 years out of 53), resulting in highly vulnerable macroeconomic conditions. The Argentine government has financed its fiscal deficit mainly in two ways: (i) by relying on external debt issuances, which has historically led to rapid increases in public debt levels; and (ii) by having the Argentine Central Bank issue new currency notes, which has led to high inflation periods and, in certain cases, hyperinflation. The fiscal deficit reached 5.2% of GDP in 2015, 5.8% of GDP in 2016, 6.0% of GDP in 2017, 5.2% of GDP in 2018, 4.9% of GDP in 2019 and 8.5% of GDP in 2020. (See “—Argentina’s current account and balance of payment imbalances could lead to a depreciation of the Argentine peso, and as a result, affect our results of operations, our capital expenditure program and our ability to service our foreign currency liabilities”).
The failure to reduce fiscal deficits could lead to growing levels of uncertainty regarding Argentina’s macroeconomic conditions. In particular, it could lead to growing inflation rates and unanticipated foreign exchange depreciation and balance of payments crisis, higher local vulnerability to international credit crisis or geopolitical shocks, higher interest rates and erratic monetary policies, a reduction in real salaries and as a consequence, in private consumption, and a reduction in growth rates. This level of uncertainty, over which we have no control, may adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
Our results of operations may be adversely affected by high and possibly increasing inflation in Argentina.
Historically, inflation has materially undermined the Argentine economy and the government’s ability to create conditions that would permit long term and stable growth. In recent years, Argentina has experienced high inflation rates. High inflation may also undermine Argentina’s foreign competitiveness in international markets and adversely affect economic activity and employment, as well as our business and results of operation. In particular, the profit margin on our services is impacted by the increase in our costs in providing those services, which is influenced by wage inflation in Argentina, as well as other factors.
Since 2008, the Argentine economy has been subject to strong inflationary pressures that, according to private sector analysts, reached an average annual rate of 28.2% between 2010 and 2015. In 2007 INDEC was subject to a process of institutional and methodological reforms that led to controversies regarding the credibility of the information published by it, including CPI. Reports published by the IMF between 2007 and 2015, using alternative measures to estimate price developments, showed considerably higher variations than those published by INDEC (see “ — The credibility of several Argentine economic indices have been called into question, which may lead to a lack of confidence in the Argentine economy and may in turn limit our ability to access the credit and capital markets” and “— Risks Related to Our Business and Industries-Inflation in some of the countries in which we operate, along with governmental measures to curb inflation, may have a significant negative effect on the economies of those countries and, as a result, on our financial condition and results of operations”). In December 2015, the Macri Administration suspended the publication of indexes and statistics and, after implementing certain methodological reforms and adjusting certain macroeconomic statistics, resumed its publication of the CPI in June 2016. Based on the new and revised information provided by INDEC, inflation reached an annual rate of 40.9% in 2016, 24.8% in 2017, 47.6% in 2018, 53.8% in 2019, and 36.1% in 2020.
Due to several internal and external factors, during the first half of 2018 the peso suffered a new sharp depreciation, which, as of December 31, 2018 accumulated 103.83% and that fostered the inflation levels again to 47.6% in 2018. In April 2019 the Argentine government adopted a series of economic measures attempting to control the foreign exchange rate and inflation, including retail prices monitoring and freezing programs (see “— The measures taken or to be implemented by the Argentine government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on our business and operations — Maximum Prices and Supply Obligations”), the limitation of tariffs increases and the fixing of intervention zones by the Argentine Central Bank in the U.S. Dollar exchange market. However, these measures caused a deepening of the recession, while foreign exchange instability and high inflation continued.
39

In the past, the Argentine government implemented programs to control inflation and monitor prices for essential goods and services, including attempts to freeze the price of certain supermarket products by means of price support arrangements between the government and the private sector. These programs, however, did not address the structural causes for Argentina’s inflation and, consequently, failed to reduce inflation. Nevertheless, in January 2020, the Fernández Administration adopted these type of programs (see “ — Government intervention in Argentina may have a direct impact on our prices and sales” and “-Risks Related to Argentina- The impact of the Argentine congressional and presidential elections on the future economic and political environment of Argentina remains uncertain”).
Controlling inflation remains to be a challenge for Argentina. If the Argentine government continues failing to address Argentina’s structural inflationary imbalance, the current levels of inflation may continue to rise, which may have an adverse effect on Argentina’s economy.
Inflation in Argentina has contributed to a material increase in our costs of operation, in particular labor costs; it also enables a reduction in the purchasing power of the population, thus increasing the risk of a lower level of consumption from our customers in Argentina, which could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations. Inflation rates could continue to grow in the future, and there is uncertainty regarding the effects that any measures adopted by the government could have to control inflation.
Uncertainty surrounding future inflation rates may have an adverse impact for Argentina in the long-term credit market.
The Argentine economy has experienced significant volatility in past decades, including numerous periods of low or negative growth and high and variable levels of inflation and currency devaluation. Inflation remains a challenge for Argentina given its persistent nature in recent years and also considering its high levels during 2019. No assurances can be given that the rate of growth experienced over past years will be achieved in future years or that the national economy will not suffer recession. If economic conditions in Argentina were to continue slowing down, or contract, if inflation were to accelerate further, or if the Argentine government's measures to attract or retain foreign investment and international financing in the future to incentivize domestic economy activity are unsuccessful, such developments could adversely affect Argentina's economic growth and in turn affect our financial health and results of operations.
Inflation can also lead to an increase in Argentina's debt and have an adverse effect on Argentina's ability to service its debt, mainly in the medium and long term when most inflation-indexed debt matures. In addition, weaker fiscal results could have a material adverse effect on the Government's ability to access long term financing, which, in turn, could adversely affect Argentina's economy and financial condition and access to international or domestic capital markets. If the measures adopted by the Argentine government are not able to resolve the structural inflationary disruptions of Argentina, the current inflationary levels could rise and have a negative impact on the economic and financial conditions of Argentina, and as such adversely affect our operations and financial condition (see “— Our results of operations may be adversely affected by high and possibly increasing inflation in Argentina").
High inflation rates affect Argentina’s foreign competitiveness, increase social and economic inequality, negatively impacts employment, consumption and the level of economic activity, and undermines confidence in Argentina’s banking system, which could further limit the availability of and access by local companies to domestic and international credit.
Devaluation of the peso may adversely affect our results of operations, our capital expenditure program and the ability to service our liabilities and transfers of funds abroad.
Argentina has a history of high volatility in its foreign exchange markets, including sharp and unanticipated devaluations, tight foreign exchange controls and severe restrictions on foreign trade. The devaluation of the peso may have a negative impact on the ability of certain Argentine businesses to service their foreign currency denominated debt. It could also lead to higher inflation rates, significantly reduce real wages and jeopardize our business.
The devaluation of the Argentine peso has been continuous during recent history. After several years of moderate variations in the nominal exchange rate, the Argentine peso depreciated 32.6% and 31.1% in 2013 and 2014, respectively, with respect to the U.S. dollar. In 2015, the Argentine peso lost 52.5% of its value with respect to the U.S. dollar, in 2016 depreciated 21.9% and in 2017, depreciated approximately 17.4% of its value with respect to the U.S. dollar. In 2018 the Argentine peso suffered a sharp depreciation which accumulated 102.2% (See “— Our results of operations may be adversely affected by high and possibly increasing inflation in Argentina” and “— The Argentine economy could be adversely affected by economic developments in other markets and by other general “contagion” effects”).
40

After the results of the primary elections were announced on August 11, 2019, the markets reacted negatively, and the U.S. dollar price jumped from $43.9 pesos to $60.4 at the exchange rate published by the Argentine Central Bank as of August 14, 2019. Consequently, the shares of Argentine companies in the New York stock exchanges and the value of national bonds dropped. Given the political and economic landscape, the Government of former President Macri re-instated rigid restrictions and foreign exchange controls in September 1, 2019, which among other things, significantly curtailed access to the official foreign exchange market by individuals and entities (See "Item 10 — Additional Information-Exchange Controls”). During 2019 the Argentine peso depreciated 58.9% against the U.S. dollar. Furthermore, an unofficial U.S. dollar trading market developed in which the Argentine peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate is significantly higher than the one in the official one. We cannot predict future fluctuations in the Argentine peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate or further foreign exchange restrictions.
Despite the positive effects the depreciation of the Argentine peso may have on the competitiveness of certain sectors of the Argentine economy, including our business, it also had a negative impact on the financial condition of many Argentine businesses and individuals. The devaluation of the Argentine peso affected or may affect the ability of certain Argentine businesses to honor their foreign currency-denominated debt, generates high levels of inflation, reduces real wages significantly, and has a negative impact on companies oriented to the domestic market, such as public services and the financial industry.
Given the political and economic landscape, the Government of former President Macri re-instated rigid restrictions and foreign exchange controls in September 1, 2019, which among other things, significantly curtailed access to the official foreign exchange market by individuals and entities (See "Item 10 — Additional Information-Exchange Controls”). Notwithstanding the strengthening of the foreign exchange controls, the Peso accumulated a depreciation of 59.02% and 40.49% against the U.S. dollar in 2019 and 2020, respectively. Furthermore, an unofficial U.S. dollar trading market developed again in which the Argentine peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate is significantly higher than the one in the official one. We cannot predict future fluctuations in the Argentine peso/U.S. dollar exchange rate or further foreign exchange restrictions.
Additional volatility, appreciation or depreciation of the peso, or reduction in the Argentine Central Bank’s international reserves due to currency interventions could adversely affect the Argentine economy, which in turn may have an adverse effect on our financial conditions and results of operations.
Failure to adequately address actual and perceived risks of institutional corruption may adversely affect Argentina's economy and financial condition.
A lack of a solid and transparent institutional framework for contracts with the Argentine government and its agencies and corruption allegations have affected and continue to affect Argentina. Argentina ranked 66 of 180 in the Transparency International's 2019 Corruption Perceptions Index and 126 of 190 in the World Bank's Doing Business 2020 report.
As of the date of this annual report, there are various ongoing investigations into allegations of money laundering and corruption being conducted by the Office of the Argentine Federal Prosecutor, including the largest such investigation, known as the “Notebooks Investigation” (“Los Cuadernos de las Coimas”) which have negatively impacted the Argentine economy and political environment. This investigation relates to notebooks kept by a driver who worked for public officials during the Kirchner Administration. The notebooks allegedly document a widespread corruption scheme involving illegal cash payments by businessmen to government officials in order to win government contracts. As a result of these investigations, several businessmen (including construction company executives) and former public officials have been detained and prosecuted, including the former president and current vice-president of Argentina, Mrs. Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, who was prosecuted for illicit association.
Depending on how long it takes to close these investigations and their results, companies involved in the investigations may be subject to, among other things, a decrease in their credit ratings, claims filed by their investors, and may further experience restrictions in their access to financing through the capital markets, together with a decrease in their income. Additionally, as the criminal cases against the companies involved in the investigations move forward, said companies may be restricted from rendering services or may face new restrictions, due to their customers' internal standards. These adverse effects could restrict these companies' ability to conduct their operating activities and to meet their financial obligations. Consequently, the number of suppliers available for our operations may be reduced and, as such, we may experience an adverse effect on our commercial activities and results of operations.
The Argentine government's ability to implement initiatives aimed at strengthening Argentina's institutions and reducing corruption is uncertain as it would be subject to independent review by the judicial branch, as well as legislative support from opposition parties. We cannot give any assurance that the implementation of these measures by the Argentine government will be successful in stopping institutional deterioration and corruption. Furthermore, we cannot predict what
41

impact these investigations might have or what other measures may be adopted by the courts, the current administration or any future administration, each of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and the results of our operations.
The credibility of several Argentine economic indices has been called into question, which may lead to a lack of confidence in the Argentine economy and may in turn limit our ability to access the credit and capital markets.
Between 2007 and 2014, the inflation index determined by INDEC has been the subject of widespread criticism and extensive discussions in connection with analysis of the Argentine economy, including data on inflation, GDP and unemployment. The intervention of the former Argentine government in the INDEC in 2007 and the change in the way the inflation index was measured have resulted in disagreements between the former Argentine government and private consultants as to the actual annual inflation rate. The former Argentine government of the Fernández de Kirchner administration imposed fines on private consultants reporting inflation rates higher than the INDEC data. As a result, private consultants typically shared their data with Argentine lawmakers who opposed the previous government, and who released such data from time to time. The widespread disagreements had the negative effect of eroding public confidence in Argentina’s economy.
Since June 2016, after implementing certain methodological reforms, the CPI was corrected and on November 9, 2016, the Executive Board of the IMF lifted its censure on Argentina, noting that Argentina had resumed the publication of data in a manner consistent with its obligations under the Articles of Agreement of the IMF, recovering credibility. As of the date of this annual report, the impact of any future measures taken by the Fernández administration with respect to the INDEC will have on the Argentine economy and investors’ perception of the country cannot be predicted. Concern regarding lack of accuracy in the INDEC´s indices could adversely affect investor confidence in the Argentine economy and our ability to access international credit markets to finance our operations and growth.
Government intervention in Argentina may have a direct impact on our prices and sales.
The Argentine government has in the past exercised substantial control over the Argentine economy by setting certain industry market conditions and prices. In March 2002, the Argentine government fixed the price for milk after a conflict among producers and the government. In 2005, the Argentine government adopted measures in order to increase the domestic availability of beef and reduce domestic prices. The export tax rate was increased and a minimum weight requirement for animals to be slaughtered was established. In March 2006, sales of beef products to foreign markets were temporarily suspended until prices decreased. Furthermore, in 2007 the Argentine government significantly increased export tax rates on exports of crops. Several restrictions were also imposed on the grain and oilseed markets that essentially limited the access of traders to exports, resulting in a disparity between domestic and world prices. In March 2012, the Undersecretary of Transport created an “indicative price” for the transportation of grains by road fixed on a quarterly basis. The actual price paid for the road transportation of grains was set to be no lower than 5% or higher than 15% of the “indicative price” fixed for the applicable period. In some cases, the imposition of this “indicative price” produced increases in our transportation costs. In addition, on April 9, 2013, the Secretary of Commerce issued a resolution that established a fixed price for selling liquid hydrocarbons for a six months period. The fixed price would be the highest selling price on the date of issuance of the resolution, in certain regions of the country. Notwithstanding the April 9 resolution, YPF (the Argentine government-controlled oil and gas company) implemented gas price increases that were matched by other oil companies. Due to the increase in the price of the wheat, on July 4, 2013, the Secretary of Commerce issued a resolution mandating wheat producers and distributors to sell their stocks to satisfy the domestic demand, seeking to reduce the wheat price. On January 2014, the Secretary of Commerce launched a new program of price controls called Precios Cuidados. Producers and suppliers committed to fixed prices for more than 300 basic products subject to review on a quarterly basis. As of the date hereof, two of our rice products sold under the trademark “Molinos Ala” and "Apostoles" are subject to this program. Violation of the program may result in sanctions, including fines, which amount will be considered on a case by case basis at the time of issuing the relevant sanction by the enforcement authority.
The two administrations of President Fernández de Kirchner, who governed from 2007 through December 9, 2015, increased state intervention in the Argentine economy, through expropriation and nationalization measures, price controls and foreign exchange controls. Below follows an outline of the main measures taken by such administration on these aspects.
In 2008 the Fernández de Kirchner administration absorbed and replaced the former private pension funds for a fully public pension system. In April 2012, the Fernandez de Kirchner administration decreed the removal of directors and senior officers of YPF S.A., the country’s largest oil and gas company which was controlled by the Spanish group Repsol, and with the approval of the Argentine Congress expropriated shares held by Repsol representing 51% of the shares of YPF, and in 2015, the Argentine Congress passed a law approving the government takeover of the passenger and cargo railways, which became owned by a State-owned company called Ferrocarriles Argentinos Sociedad del Estado. In 2014 the Argentine Tax Authority (“Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos - AFIP”) established a “Systematic Registration of Movements and Grains
42

Stocks Regime” (Régimen de Registración Sistemática de Movimientos y Existencias de Granos) pursuant to which all persons involved in the commercialization and manufacturing of grains and dairy products registered with the Registry of Operators of the Agro-industrial Chain (Registro Único de Operadores de la Cadena Agroindustrial or “RUCA” after its acronym in Spanish) must report the stock and stock variations (including locations, transport between the producer´s facilities, etc.) of all grains and other agricultural products (other than those to be applied to sowing) held in inventory or through third parties. In 2014 the Argentine Congress enacted the “Supply Law”, that covers the economic process related to goods, facilities and services that directly or indirectly satisfy the basic or essential needs of the population, granting broad delegations of powers on its enforcement authority and provides that in a situation of shortage or scarcity of goods or services which satisfy basic or essential needs destined to the general welfare of the population, the governmental authorities may order their sale, production, distribution and delivery throughout the Argentine territory.
Since taking office in December 2019, the Fernández Administration implemented several measures that increased the government intervention, for example: i) the Solidarity Law published on December 23, 2019; ii) the Price Control Program announced on January 7, 2020; iii) the Law of Sustainability of Public Debt under Foreign Law, published on February 13, 2020; iv) the Supermarkets’ Shelves Law published on March 17, 2020; and v) Decree No. 690/2020, published on August 22, 2020, which regulated information and telecommunications services and their tariffs. As of the date of this report it is not possible to predict whether the current administration will promote actions related to price controls of products elaborated by us. In case it does, we cannot predict how these measures will affect our results of operations (see “— The impact of the Argentine congressional and presidential elections on the future economic and political environment of Argentina remains uncertain”).
Among other provisions, the Solidarity Law froze the electricity and natural gas tariff rates until December 31, 2020 and instructed the relevant regulatory agencies to pursue a mandatory renegotiation of those rates. Currently, a tariff renegotiation is in process. Any increase in tariff will result in an increase of costs.
As of the date of this report it is not possible to predict whether the current administration will promote additional actions related to price controls of products elaborated by us. In case it does, we cannot predict how these measures will affect our results of operations. Please bear in mind that due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Argentine Government intervention on economic, trade and regulatory matters has increased substantially.
Expropriations and other interventions by the Argentine government such as the one relating to YPF can have an adverse impact on the level of foreign investment in Argentina, the access of Argentine companies to the international capital markets and Argentina’s commercial and diplomatic relations with other countries. In the future, the level of governmental intervention in the economy may continue, which may have adverse effects on Argentina’s economy and, in turn, our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Although many of the above measures were adopted or announced by the former Argentine government’s administrations of Fernández de Kirchner, we cannot assure you that the Fernández Administration will not interfere or increase its intervention by setting prices or regulating other market conditions. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to freely negotiate the prices of all our Argentine products in the future or that the prices or other market conditions that the Fernández Administration might impose will allow us to freely negotiate the prices of our products, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Argentine government may order salary increases to be paid to employees in the private sector, or imposed additional charges, which would increase our operating costs.
In the past, the Argentine government has passed laws, regulations and decrees requiring companies in the private sector to increase wages and provide specified benefits to employees and may do so again in the future. Argentine employers, both in the public and private sectors, have experienced significant pressure from their employees and labor organizations to increase wages and to provide additional employee benefits.
Due to the high levels of inflation, employees and labor organizations are demanding significant wage increases. Since June 2017, the minimum salary was raised from Ps.10,000 to Ps.21,600, as of the date of this report (in nominal terms without adjustment for inflation).
Since 2015, the INDEC has published the Salary Variation Index (Coeficiente de Variación Salarial), an index that shows the evolution of salaries. The Salary Variation Index showed an increase in registered private sector salaries of approximately 33.0% in 2016, 27.3% in 2017, 30.4% in 2018, 67.0% in 2019 and 34.4% in 2020. These increases were mainly in line with the inflation prevailing in Argentina.
43

Also, by means of Decree No. 34/2019 issued on December 13, 2019, as amended, the Argentine Executive Branch duplicated the amount of the statutory severance payments payable to employees hired before December 13, 2019 and fired between December 13, 2019 and January 25, 2021. After several extensions of this measure, on January 22, 2021, the Argentine government issued Decree No. 39/2021, which further extended the obligation to pay double severance amounts for employee terminations until April 25, 2021, but limited the amount of the additional severance payment to Ps. 500,000. It is likely that this provision would be further extended by the Government if the economic condition continues.
Furthermore, under the Solidarity Law (See “— The impact of the Argentine congressional and presidential elections on the future economic and political environment of Argentina remains uncertain”) the Fernández Administration is empowered to, in its sole discretion, provide mandatory salary increases for employees of the private sector, which occurred on January 2020, imposing the payment of an extraordinary non-remunerative bonus of AR$ 4,000 to all workers in the private sector, payable in two installments in January 2020 and February 2020. This bonus and similar salary increases and additional payments could also have an effect on inflation.
On March 31, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Argentine government issued Decree No. 329/2020, which prohibits layoffs and dismissals due to force majeure or lack or decrease work during the next 60 days from the date of publication of the decree. In addition, Decree No. 39/2021 further extended the prohibition on terminations without cause, terminations based on the lack or reduction of work, and suspensions for force majeure events until April 25, 2021 (see “- The measures taken or to be implemented by the Argentine government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on our business and operations”).
On August 14, 2020 the Argentine Executive Branch enacted the Law 27,555 that regulates dependent work provided from the employee's own home or from a place other than the employer's establishment and introduces the concept of teleworking. In addition, Law 27,555 establishes the minimum legal requirements for regulating teleworking, delegates specific aspects to collective bargaining, recognizes rights and duties for those who work under this modality (e.g., right of reversibility, right to digital disconnection, trade union rights, right to privacy) and contains regulations referring to working hours, provision of work tools and reimbursement of expenses. The Law 27,555 entered into force on April 1, 2021.
Due to the high levels of inflation, employers in both the public and private sectors have historically experienced, and currently are experiencing significant pressure from organized labor and their employees to provide further increases in salaries. If, as a result of such measures, future salary increases in Argentine peso exceed the pace of the devaluation of the Argentine pesos, they could have a material and adverse effect on our expenses and business, results of operations and financial condition.
Argentine law concerning foreign ownership of rural properties may adversely affect our results of operations and future investments in rural properties in Argentina.
Law No. 26,737, passed by the Argentine Congress in December 2011, and its implementing regulation Decree No. 274/2012, as amended and supplemented by Decree No. 820/2016 dated as of February 28, 2012 and of June 30, 2016, respectively, impose limits on the ownership or possession of rural land by foreign legal entities or certain foreign individuals.
Law No. 26,737 and its implementing regulation require that, “foreign ownership” of rural land may not exceed 15% of the total amount of rural land in the Argentine territory calculated also in relation to the territory of the Province, Department or Municipality where the relevant lands are located. For purposes of the law, “foreign ownership” means the ownership (whether by acquisition, transfer, assignment of rights or otherwise) over rural land by: (i) foreign individuals, regardless of whether they are Argentine residents or not; (ii) legal entities where foreign individuals or entities own, whether directly or indirectly, a number of votes sufficient to prevail in the local entity’s decision-making process. It is presumed that foreign legal entities in which more than 51% of the stock is directly or indirectly owned by foreign individuals or entities are subject to Law No. 26,737; (iii) companies that issue bonds (a) convertible in stock representing 51% or more of the company’s stock upon conversion and (b) whose holders are foreign individuals or entities; (iv) trusts whose beneficiaries are foreign individuals or entities, as defined pursuant to (i) and (ii) above; (v) joint ventures in which foreign entities or individuals hold a participating interest higher than those set forth by the law; (vi) foreign public law-governed legal entities; and (vii) simple associations or de facto corporations in which foreigners hold shares in the percentage set forth by the new law in relation to corporations or which are controlled by foreigners.
Law No. 26,737 created a National Registry of Rural Land (Registro Nacional de Tierras Rurales) in charge of the enforcement of the provisions of the law and registry of rural land.
44

Any modification to the capital stock of companies that own or possess rural land, by public or private instrument, that implies a direct or indirect change of control, must be reported to the National Registry of Rural Land within 30 days from the date of such modification.
In addition, foreign entities or individuals of the same nationality may not own more than 4.5% of rural land in Argentina and a single foreign entity or individual may not own more than 1,000 hectares in the “core area”, or the “equivalent surface”, as determined by the Interministerial Council of Rural Land (Consejo Interministerial de Tierras Rurales) in accordance with the provinces’ proposal, specifying districts, sub-regions or areas and taking into consideration the location of the land, the proportion of the land area in respect of the total territory of the relevant Province, Department or Municipality and, the quality of the land for use and exploitation. The “equivalent surface” regime may be modified by the Interministerial Council of Rural Lands considering possible changes in the quality of the land or the growth of urban populations. Pursuant to Decree No. 274/2012, as amended and supplemented by Decree No. 820/2016, the departments that comprise the “core area” are: Marcos Juarez and Unión in the Province of Córdoba; Belgrano, San Martín, San Jerónimo, Iriondo, San Lorenzo, Rosario, Constitución, Caseros and General López in the Province of Santa Fe; and the districts of Leandro N. Alem, General Viamonte, Bragado, General Arenales, Junin, Alberti, Rojas, Chivilcoy, Chacabuco, Colón, Salto, San Nicolás, Ramallo, San Pedro, Baradero, San Antonio de Areco, Exaltación de La Cruz, Capitán Sarmiento, San Andrés de Giles, Pergamino, Arrecifes and Carmen de Areco in the Province of Buenos Aires.
Foreign legal entities or individuals may not own rural land that contain or are located next to permanent and significant bodies of water to be determined by the Federal Hydrological Council (Consejo Hídrico Federal) and may also include hydrological works and projects considered strategic and involving the public interest.
Acquisition of rural land will not be deemed as an “investment” under bilateral investment treaties signed by the Argentine Republic, since rural land is deemed as “a non-renewable natural resource”.
The regulatory decrees of Law No. 26,737 provide that no previous authorization certificate is required for certain operations such as: (i) the transfer of the property or possession rights over real estate properties that were located in an “Industrial Area” or an “Industrial Park”, independently from the acquirer’s nationality, (ii) any modification to the capital stock of companies that own or possess rural land, by public or private instrument, when such modification implies a direct or indirect change of control, provided that such change of control is not made in favor of a new foreign legal entity or individual; and (iii) creation of certain real property rights over the rural land, such as easements.
Upon the issue of Decree No. 820/2016, the effects of Law No. 26,737 have been somewhat mitigated, by setting forth a term of 90 days during which the foreign legal entity or individual that has exceeded the allowed limit of ownership of rural land must reduce their current ownership to the legal limit by (i) transferring or causing any of its controlled legal entities to transfer the amount of rural land that exceeds the legal limit, or (ii) modifying or causing any of its controlled legal entities to modify the type of exploitation awarded to rural lands owned by such foreign legal entity, or (iii) transferring its participation to legal entities that are considered compliant pursuant to the terms of Law No. 26,737.
Law No. 26,737 initially stated that, even though no vested rights could be affected as a result of the application of such law, any act in violation of its provisions would be considered null and void. Decree No. 820/2016 clarified this situation and established that the foreign entities or individuals who owned rural land in excess to the allowed limit of ownership when the Law No. 26,737 came into effect (i) are not obliged to transfer such rural land in excess, and (ii) in the event of transfer of rural lands acquired before Law No. 26,737 came into force, they can acquire the equivalent to such transferred rural land, provided the legal limits established to the type of exploitation and location. Hence, the application of laws regarding foreign ownership of rural lands does not have an adverse effect on the current rural land owned by our Argentine subsidiaries. However, our Argentine subsidiaries may be prevented from acquiring additional rural land in Argentina, which may adversely affect our financial condition and results of our operations.
An increase in export and import duties and controls may have an adverse impact on our sales.
The Argentine government has historically imposed duties on the exports of various primary and manufactured products, including some of our products. Since then, such export taxes have undergone significant increases, reaching a maximum of 35% in the case of soybean. Currently, soybean are levied at a 33% export duty rate, soybean flour and oil are levied at a 31% duty rate. Most of other agricultural products -such as fresh fruit and vegetables usually grown in specific regions were set a 0% export duty rate on January 2021.
The Solidarity Law (passed in 2019) established new caps for the Fernandez Administration to determine the export duty rate of all goods included in the tariff positions of the Common Mercosur Nomenclature until December 31, 2021. Even
45

though most goods are capped to a maximum 15% ad valorem export duty rate, there are special lower caps for some agricultural products from specific regions and industrial goods. The Fernandez Administration also implemented on November 2020 a compensation program for small-scale soybean producers. Additionally, duties on the exportation of services were set to a 5% ad valorem export duty rate.
Argentina has also imposed the Import Monitoring System (Sistema Integral de Monitoreo de Importaciones or “SIMI”). Under this new system, importers are required to submit certain information electronically through the SIMI application which, once approved, will be valid for 90 calendar days.
In addition, the Macri Administration had enacted an import licensing regime that includes automatic and non-automatic licensing for imports. Automatic import licensing provides that the importer is only required to submit information through the SIMI as well as provide other certification related to the imported goods. Non-automatic licensing provides that the authorities have a 10-day period to either approve or reasonably reject the import license requested based on its effect on local businesses, in addition to the other import requirements that the goods be subject to (SIMI, certifications, etc.).
The current Fernández Administration has determined many more tariff codes to undergo non-automatic import licensing procedures to control the flow of imports of final goods. Most raw materials, input for industries and machinery are mainly subject to automatic licensing. In late 2020, many importers have suffered either a delay or blockage on their non-automatic import license applications and started seeking judicial relief to lift the blockages of their prospective imports.
Notwithstanding the above, we cannot assure you that there will not be further increases in the export taxes or that other new export taxes or quotas will not be imposed. The imposition of new export taxes or quotas or a significant increase in existing export taxes or the application of export quotas or the imposition of regimes that aim to restrict or control imports and exports could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
Exchange controls restrict the inflow and outflow of funds in Argentina and may substantially limit the ability of companies to retain or obtain foreign currency or make payments abroad.
Between 2011 and 2015 until President Macri took office, the Argentine government increased controls and restrictions on the sale of foreign currencies and the acquisition of foreign assets by Argentine residents, limiting the possibility of transferring funds abroad. Through a combination of foreign exchange and tax regulations, the Fernández de Kirchner administration significantly curtailed access to the FX Market by individuals and private-sector entities. In addition, during the last few years under the Fernández de Kirchner administration, the Argentine Central Bank exercised a de facto prior approval for certain foreign exchange transactions otherwise authorized to be carried out under the applicable regulations, such as dividend payments or repayment of principal of intercompany loans as well as the payments related to import of goods, by means of regulating the amount of foreign currency available to companies to conduct such transactions. The number of exchange controls introduced in the past and in particular after between 2011 and 2015 during the Fernández de Kirchner administration gave rise to an unofficial U.S. dollar trading market, and the unofficial Argentine peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate in such market differed substantially from the official Argentine peso to U.S. dollar exchange rate. Due to the foreign exchange crisis generated in August 2019 and the continued reduction of the Argentine Central Bank’s foreign currency reserves, since September 1, 2019 the Argentine government has reinstated rigid exchange controls and transfer restrictions, substantially limiting the ability to obtain foreign currency or make certain payments or distributions out of Argentina (see "Item 10 - Additional Information-Exchange Controls”).
In response to the re-imposed foreign exchange restrictions, an unofficial U.S. dollar trading market developed again in which the Argentine peso-U.S. dollar exchange rate differed substantially from the official Argentine peso-U.S. dollar exchange rate in the FX Market.
In addition, access to foreign currency and its transfer outside of Argentina can also be obtained and carried out through capital markets transactions denominated Blue-Chip Swap, subject to certain restrictions, which is significantly more expensive than acquiring foreign currency in the FX Market.
Notwithstanding the measures adopted by the Argentine government recently, it may impose additional exchange controls, transfer restrictions, restrictions on the free movement of capital, and may implement other measures in response to capital flight or a significant depreciation of the Argentine peso, which would adversely affect our financial condition and the results of our operations. In addition, other exchange controls could in the future further impair or prevent the conversion of anticipated dividends, distributions, or the proceeds from any sale of equity holdings in Argentina from Argentine pesos into U.S. dollars and the remittance of the U.S. dollars abroad. These restrictions and controls could further interfere with the ability of our Argentine subsidiaries to make distributions in U.S. dollars to us and thus our ability to pay dividends in the future. Such
46

measures could lead to renewed political and social tensions, and could undermine the Argentine government’s public finances, which could adversely affect Argentina’s economy and prospects for economic growth and, consequently, adversely affect our business and results of operations, and could impair our ability to make dividend payments.
Changes in the Argentine tax laws may adversely affect the results of our operations, financial condition and cash flows.
On December 29, 2017, the Argentine Government enacted Law No. 27,430 (the "Tax Reform Law"), a comprehensive tax reform which became effective on January 1, 2018. Specifically, Law No. 27,430 introduced amendments to income tax (both at corporate and individual levels), value added tax, tax procedural law, criminal tax law, social security contributions, excise tax, tax on fuels and tax on the transfer of real estate. In addition, the Solidarity Law, introduced important tax modifications -among other provisions- which modified the Tax Reform Law, provided measures regarding employer contributions, applicable rates for foreign goods and created, in regards to the Tax for an Inclusive and Solidary Argentina, an 8% rate for the acquisition of digital services and a 30% rate for the acquisition services abroad and passenger transport services destined outside the country (see “—The impact of the Argentine congressional and presidential elections on the future economic and political environment of Argentina remains uncertain”).
The Tax Reform Law introduced several amendments in connection with federal income tax, such as the progressive reduction of the tax rate on corporate level from 35% to a 30% applicable to the fiscal periods starting on January 1, 2018 until December 31, 2019; and to 25% applicable to the fiscal periods starting on January 1, 2020, and established that dividends or other profits distributed to Argentine resident individuals and foreign beneficiaries would be subject to taxation. Therefore, as of January 1, 2018, income tax on Argentine resident companies and branches of non-Argentine entities applies in two stages: (i) a first stage is charged at the corporate level (at a tax rate of 30% or 25%, depending on the fiscal period involved, as explained above); and (ii) a second stage is charged at the shareholder or owner level - in respect of an Argentine resident individual or a foreign beneficiary- (at a tax rate of 7% or 13%, according to the fiscal period from which the distributed profit derived). Such tax treatment was amended by the Solidarity Law, which established: (i) the suspension up to fiscal years to be initiated as of January 1, 2021 inclusive, of the 25% corporate income tax rate and of the 13% tax rate applicable on dividends; and that (ii) on such periods of suspension, the applicable rate on corporate income tax will be of 30% and the applicable rate on dividends will be of 7%. The Argentine Congress is currently discussing a draft bill to modify the following aspects: (i) amend the corporate tax rate for Argentine entities, by applying a sliding scale from 25% to 35%, depending on the accumulated net income obtained during the given year; and (ii) regardless of the applicable corporate tax rate, in all cases, dividends or profits will be levied at a 7% tax rate. If the bill is approved by the Argentine Congress, such tax treatment would be applicable for fiscal years starting as of January 1, 2021.
The Tax Reform Law eliminated the equalization tax, which levied distributions made out of previously untaxed income, was eliminated. The sale, exchange or disposition of shares and other securities not trading in, or listed on, capital markets and securities exchanges by resident individuals and foreign beneficiaries in general is subject to tax at a rate of 15%. Non-residents can opt to be taxed at a rate of 15% on the net gain or 13.5% on the gross amount of the transaction, at the option of the seller.
These and other changes in the Argentine tax laws could adversely affect our operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Risks Related to Brazil
The measures taken or to be implemented by the Brazilian government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may cause adverse effect on our business and operations.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. This pandemic, as well as the reality or fear of any other adverse public health developments, could adversely and materially affect, among other things, our manufacturing and supply chain operations, including due to the reduction or closure of our production units and the interruption of the supply of raw materials (see “— Risks Related to Our Business and Industries-The COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on our business and operating results”).
In this regard, the Brazilian federal, state and municipal governments and other authorities have enacted a number of rules to address the potential impacts of the COVID-19 outbreak. Considering the possible outcomes thereof, we may be exposed to additional risks, which include:
(i) to contain or delay the spread of COVID-19, the Brazilian Ministry of Health, as well as several state and municipal authorities have adopted or recommended social distancing measures, which may ultimately result in severe fines/penalties;
(ii) in March 2020, the Brazilian government created a Crisis Committee to Monitor the Impacts of COVID-19 in Brazil. Since then, it has announced several measures (tax or otherwise) to address the effects of COVID-19 in Brazil. Likewise, the Brazilian Congress is currently discussing several measures to increase the Brazilian government’s revenues, such as imposing new taxes, revoking tax benefits and increasing the rates of current taxes; and
(iii) States and municipalities may also revoke tax benefits and/or increase the rates of current taxes to increase its revenues. See “— We receive certain tax benefits from Brazilian Tax Authorities which we cannot assure will be maintained or renewed;”.
These new rules, if approved, may have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
Further, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and any possible future outbreaks of viruses may have a significant adverse effect on us. Firstly, a spread of such diseases amongst our employees, as well as any quarantines affecting them or our facilities could adversely impact the productivity of our personnel and thereby affect our operations, which can impact the quality and continuity of our activities and, ultimately, our reputation. Secondly, the current COVID-19 pandemic and any possible future outbreaks of viruses may have an adverse effect on our suppliers and/or transportation companies used to distribute our products. Thirdly, any quarantines or spread of viruses may adversely affect the demand of our products from end-consumers.
It is also possible that our commercial contracts, including power supply agreements, could be affected by adverse impacts derived from the COVID-19 pandemic, since the parties thereto may not comply with their contractual obligations. As the COVID-19 pandemic will most likely be considered as an act of God or force majeure event by Brazilian courts, parties may justify their nonperformance and request (i) termination without penalties; (ii) adjustment and/or release of contractual obligations; (iii) adjustment and/or release of the effects of arrears; and/or (iv) adjustment and/or release of penalties for breach of contract, which, in any case, may cause a negative impact on our results of operations.
Additionally, our operations may be adversely affected by the wider macroeconomic effect of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Currently, it is expected there be a recession or diminishing growth in several countries, including Brazil, due to the freeze of the economic activities. Although the economic scenario is still uncertain, the updated forecast for the 2021 Brazilian GDP points out to a growth, following a 4.1% recession in 2020. The final effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could have substantial negative impact on the countries where we operate. Any negative effect on the economy, particularly in the countries that we operate, may decrease incomes and the demand for our products. Lastly, in case of an economic downturn, the price of our common shares may be adversely affected.
Moreover, Brazil is experiencing political disagreements among governments and other authorities in connection with the measures that have been adopted and the ones that might be implemented.
In March 2021, after a second wave of the pandemic, Brazil has become the country with the current highest daily death toll in the world. The Brazilian government cannot affirm confirm if the vaccination will be concluded in 2021 and when and the pandemic will be under control. Therefore, these institutional conflicts since the beginning of COVID-19 as well as the
48

potential adoption of measures against WHO’s recommendations may lead to political turmoil and, ultimately, civil riots and impeachment process, which all may potentially negatively impact our businesses and operations in Brazil .
Lastly, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the possible outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic and we cannot assure that other measures will be implemented to mitigate the impacts of the COVID-19 and whether they will mean tougher restrictions or limitations that could affect our operations. In addition, the deterioration of global economic conditions as a result of the pandemic may ultimately decrease customer demand for our products and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Brazilian economic and political conditions and perceptions of these conditions in international markets have a direct impact on our business and our access to international capital and debt markets, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
A significant portion of our operations, properties and customers are located in Brazil. Accordingly, our financial condition and results of operations are substantially dependent on economic conditions in Brazil. The Brazilian economy has experienced significant volatility in recent decades, characterized by periods of low or negative growth, high and variable levels of inflation and currency devaluation. Brazil’s GDP decreased 3.3% in 2016, increased 1.3% in 2017, increased 1.3% in 2018, increased 1.1% in 2019 and decreased 4.1% in 2020. We cannot assure you that GDP will increase or remain stable in the future. Future developments in the Brazilian economy may affect Brazil’s growth rates and, consequently, the consumption of sugar, ethanol, and our other products. As a result, these developments could impair our business strategies, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, it is expected that Brazil’s GDP for 2021 fiscal year will again be negatively impacted, but may show positive figures at year-end. See "— We may be exposed to risks related to health epidemics, and the COVID-19 in particular, that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and operating results”.
Historically, Brazil’s political situation has influenced the performance of the Brazilian economy, and political crisis have affected the confidence of investors and the general public, which has resulted in economic deceleration and heightened volatility in the securities issued abroad by Brazilian companies. Future developments in policies of the Brazilian government and/or the uncertainty of whether and when such policies and regulations may be implemented.
Changes in Brazilian tax laws may have a material adverse impact on the taxes applicable to our business and may increase our tax burden.
The Brazilian government frequently implements changes to the Brazilian tax regime that may affect us and our clients. These changes include changes in prevailing tax rates and, occasionally, imposition of temporary taxes, the proceeds of which are earmarked for designated Brazilian government purposes. Some of these changes may result in increases in our tax payments, which could adversely affect industry profitability and increase the prices of our products, restrict our ability to do business in our existing and target markets and cause our financial results to suffer.
Over the past years Brazil has faced an economic recession and the Government is adopting fiscal adjustment measures. Any fiscal adjustment is complex and involves radical and unpopular measures. The Minister of Finance has also been raising the possibility of increasing or creating new taxes. For example, the Brazilian government may reduce or increase at any time through a presidential decree the rates of the tax levied on financial operations, such as credit transactions (“IOF/Credit”), foreign exchange transactions (“IOF/Exchange”), derivative securities transactions (“IOF/Securities”), among other taxable events. On March, 30, 2017, a presidential decree was published in order to introduce a 0.38% rate of the IOF/Credit on some loan transactions, such as credits provided by cooperatives, which were previously subject to a zero percent rate.
It is also common for taxpayers to file suits for the declaration that a certain tax is illegal or unconstitutional. Such cases where the final decision is favorable to taxpayers, a situation that occurs very frequently. Accordingly, the Brazilian Government may propose changes in the tax legislation in order to increase rates, tax basis and/or to create new taxes.
The effects of these changes and any other change that could result from the enactment of additional legislation cannot be quantified. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our projected cash flow and profitability following any increases in Brazilian taxes applicable to us and our operations.
49

We receive certain tax benefits from Brazilian Tax Authorities which we cannot assure will be maintained or renewed.
We receive certain tax benefits by virtue of our production facilities and investment projects in underdeveloped regions in Brazil. Our main tax benefit of the ICMS (circulation tax for goods and services) from the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (Ivinhema and Angélica Mill) was renewed until 2032.
We cannot assure you that the tax incentives we currently benefit from will be maintained, renewed or that we will obtain new tax incentives on favorable terms. In the event we fail to comply with specific obligations to which we are subject in connection with the tax benefits described above, such benefits may be suspended or cancelled, or we may be required to pay the taxes due in full, plus penalties, which may adversely affect us. Additionally, we cannot assure you that we will be able to renew these tax benefits when they expire, or to obtain additional tax benefits under favorable conditions. State and federal governments frequently implement changes to the tax regimes, such as changes in tax rates, that may adversely affect us or our customers. If our current tax benefits are cancelled or not renewed, we may be materially adversely affected.
Widespread corruption and fraud relating to ownership of real estate may adversely affect our business, especially our land transformation business.
Under Brazilian Legislation, real property ownership is normally transferred by means of a transfer deed, and subsequently registered at the appropriate Real Estate Registry Office under the corresponding real property record. There are uncertainties, corruption and fraud relating to title ownership of real estate in Brazil, mostly in rural areas. In certain cases, the Real Estate Registry Office may register deeds with errors, including duplicate and/or fraudulent entries, and, therefore, deed challenges frequently occur, leading to judicial actions and police investigations. Property disputes over title ownership are frequent in Brazil, and, as a result, there is a risk that errors, fraud or challenges could adversely affect us.
Social movements and the possibility of expropriation and constitution of public easement may affect the normal use of, damage, or deprive us of the use of or fair value of, our properties.
Social movements, such as Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra and Comissão Pastoral da Terra, are active in Brazil and advocate land reform and mandatory property redistribution by the Brazilian government. Land invasions and occupations of rural areas by a large number of individuals is common practice for these movements, and, in certain areas, including those in which we have invested or are likely to invest, police protection and effective eviction proceedings are not available to land owners. As a result, we cannot assure you that our properties will not be subject to invasion or occupation by these groups. A land invasion or occupation could materially impair the normal use of our lands or have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or the value of our common shares. In addition, our land may be subject to expropriation by the Brazilian government. Under Article 184 of the Brazilian Constitution, the Brazilian government may expropriate land that is not in compliance with mandated local “social functions”. A “social function” is defined in Article 186 of the Brazilian Constitution as (i) rational and adequate exploitation of land; (ii) adequate use of natural resources available and preservation of the environment; (iii) compliance with labor laws; and (iv) exploitation of land to promote welfare of owners and employees. If the Brazilian government decides to expropriate any of our properties, our results of operations may be adversely affected, to the extent that potential compensation to be paid by the Brazilian government may be less than the profit we could make from the sale or use of such land. Disputing the Brazilian government’s expropriation of land is usually time-consuming and the outcomes of such challenges are uncertain. In addition, we may be forced to accept public debt bonds, which have limited liquidity, as compensation for expropriated land instead of cash.
Moreover, along with the expropriation rights, the Brazilian legislation also confers to the Government (or the Concessionary of public services) the power to constitute public easements over third-parties real estate properties. Public easements are commonly used in those situations which the infrastructure project requires the use of a portion of several real estate properties, mostly in rural areas, such as the installation of transmission lines or oil and gas pipelines.
Public easement also requires the payment of a fair and prior indemnification, which authorizes the government (or concessionary of public services) to use such property for public interest. The institution of public easement shall observe the same procedure for expropriation of real estate property. However, unlike expropriation, the public easement does not remove the property from the owner's estate, but only creates the right of using the property or part of it. The constitution of a public easement will prevent the use of the part of the property and our results of operations may be adversely affected if such easement is constituted in into the liquidity area of our farmland holdings.

Brazilian rules concerning foreign investment in rural properties may adversely affect our investments.
Brazilian Federal Law No. 5,709, effective October 7, 1971 (“Law 5709”) established certain restrictions on the acquisition of rural property by foreigners, including that (i) foreign investors may only acquire rural properties in which agricultural, cattle-raising, industrial or colonization projects are going to be developed as approved by the relevant authorities; (ii) the total rural area to be acquired by a foreign investor cannot exceed one quarter of the surface of the municipality where it is located, and foreigners with the same nationality may not own, cumulatively, more than 10% of the surface of the municipality in which it is located; and (iii) the acquisition or possession (or any in rem right) by a foreigner of rural property situated in an area considered important to national security (i.e. land located at or near the Brazilian border) must be previously approved by the General Office of the National Security Council (Secretaria-Geral do Conselho de Segurança Nacional). Pursuant to Article 23 of Law No. 8,629, of February 25, 1993 (“Law 8629”), the restrictions mentioned in items (i) and (ii) above established by Law 5709 are also applicable for rural lease agreements executed by foreigners. “Parcerias Agrícolas” (agriculture partnerships agreements) have not been subject to these restrictions. The Federal General Attorney’s Office (“AGU”) on October 8, 2012 issued a legal opinion 005/2012, pursuant to which the AGU confirmed the understanding that the “Parcerias Rurais” are not subject to the restrictions or limitations of Law 5709. In addition, pursuant to Law 8629, the acquisition or lease by a foreigner of a rural property exceeding 100 módulos de exploração indefinida – “MEI,” a measurement unit defined by the Regional Superintendence of the National Institute of Colonization and Land Reform (Superintendência Regional do Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária – “INCRA”) must be previously approved by the Brazilian National Congress. Law 5709 also establishes that the same restrictions apply to Brazilian companies that are directly or indirectly controlled by foreign investors. Any acquisition or lease of rural property by foreigners in violation of the terms of Law 5709 would be considered null and void under Brazilian law.
Since the enactment of the Brazilian Constitution in 1988, the consensus view was that the restrictions imposed by Federal Law 5709 on the acquisition or lease of rural property above-mentioned did not apply to Brazilian companies controlled by foreigners, pursuant to legal opinion No. GQ-22, issued by the AGU in 1994, which was ratified by legal opinion No. GQ-181, also issued by the AGU in 1998. The Brazilian Constitution and its amendments, in particular Constitutional Amendment No. 6, of August 15, 1995, provides that (i) no restrictions on the acquisition of rural land in Brazil should apply to Brazilian companies; and (ii) any company incorporated and headquartered in Brazil and controlled by foreign investors must receive the same treatment as any other company incorporated and headquartered in Brazil and controlled by Brazilian investors. However, the Brazilian Justice National Council issued an Official Letter on July 13, 2010 addressed to all the Brazilian local State Internal Affairs Bureaus in order for them to adopt procedures within sixty (60) days and instruct the local State Notary and Real Estate Registry Offices to observe the restrictions of the Brazilian law on the acquisitions of rural land by Brazilian companies with foreign equity holders. Thereafter, on August 19, 2010, the AGU revised its prior opinion, and published a new legal opinion which: (i) revoked the AGU’s legal opinions No. GQ-22 and GQ-181; and (ii) confirmed that Brazilian entities controlled by foreigners should be subject to the restrictions described above, and transactions entered into by foreigners in connection with the acquisition of rural properties would be subject to approval from INCRA, the Ministry of Agrarian Development and the Brazilian National Congress, when applicable. This revised opinion was ratified by the President of Brazil and published in the Official Gazette of the Federal Executive on August 23, 2010, becoming effective as of such date. We believe that the acquisitions of rural properties by Brazilian companies directly or indirectly controlled by foreigners registered in the appropriate real estate registry prior to August 23, 2010 are not affected by the AGU’s legal opinion. As a confirmation of such understanding, pursuant to the Joint Normative Ruling N. 1 issued on September 27, 2012 by the Ministries of: (i) Agricultural Development; (ii) Agriculture, Cattle-raising and Supply; (iii) Industry Development and Foreign Commerce; and (iv) Tourism (the “Joint Normative Ruling N. 1”); and the Normative Ruling/IN INCRA No.76, issued on August 23, 2013, a Brazilian company controlled by foreign individuals or companies which acquired or leased rural properties, by means of an act or agreement entered into from June 7, 1994 and August 22, 2010, may register such property before the National System of Rural Registry (Sistema Nacional de Cadastro Rural-SNCR), without any administrative sanction. However, as of said date, the acquisition and leasing of rural land in Brazil, including through corporate transactions, will be subject to the above-mentioned restrictions, and will require several additional layers of review and approvals, which may be discretionary (including the approvals from INCRA, Ministry of Agrarian Development and the Brazilian National Congress, when applicable), burdensome and time consuming. Additionally, the Joint Normative Ruling N. 1 sets forth the administrative procedures applicable to requests for authorization for the acquisition or lease of rural properties by foreign investors pursuant to Law 5709. Under the Joint Normative Ruling, in order to obtain the authorization for the acquisition or lease of rural properties, foreign investors must present a project proposal to the INCRA, containing: (i) the rationale for the relationship between the property to be acquired or leased and the project size; (ii) physical and financial schedule of the investment and implementation of the project; (iii) use of official credit (governmental funds) for the total or partial finance of the project; (iv) logistic viability of the execution of the project and, in case of an industrial project, proof of compatibility between the local industrial sites and the geographic location of the lands; and (v) proof of compatibility with the criteria established by the Brazilian Ecological and Economical Zoning (Zoneamento Ecológico Econômico do Brasil – ZEE), relating to the location of the property.
51

While we conduct our operations in Brazil through local subsidiaries, we would be considered a foreign controlled entity within the meaning of the restrictions described above. Therefore, if we are not able to comply with these restrictions and obtain the required approvals in connection with future acquisitions or lease transactions, our business plan, contemplated expansion in Brazil and results of operations will be adversely affected.
Furthermore, there is currently proposed legislation under review in the Brazilian National Congress regarding the acquisition of rural land by Brazilian companies controlled by foreign holders, which if approved may further limit and restrict the investments of companies with foreign equity capital in rural land in Brazil. Such further restrictions, if adopted, may place more strain on our ability to expand our operations in Brazil.
52

The Brazilian government has exercised, and continues to exercise, significant influence over the Brazilian economy, which, combined with Brazilian political and economic conditions, may adversely affect us.
We may be adversely affected by the following factors, as well as the Brazilian government’s response to these factors:
•economic and social instability;
•increase in interest rates;
•exchange controls and restrictions on remittances abroad;
•restrictions and taxes on agricultural exports;
•exchange rate fluctuations;
•inflation;
•volatility and liquidity in domestic capital and credit markets;
•expansion or contraction of the Brazilian economy, as measured by GDP growth rates;
•allegations of corruption against political parties, elected officials or other public officials, including allegations made in relation to the “Car Wash Operation” (Operação Lava-Jato) investigation;
•government measures aimed at controlling the COVID-19 outbreak;
•government policies related to our sector;
•fiscal or monetary policy and amendments to tax legislation; and
•other political, diplomatic, social or economic developments in or affecting Brazil.
Historically, the Brazilian government has frequently intervened in the Brazilian economy and has occasionally made significant changes in economic policies and regulations, including, among others, the imposition of a tax on foreign capital entering Brazil (IOF tax), changes in monetary, fiscal and tax policies, currency devaluations, capital controls and limits on imports. The administration is currently facing domestic pressure to retreat from the current macroeconomic policies in an attempt to achieve higher rates of economic growth. In addition, the Brazilian government has discussed the creation of a tax on financial transactions, including wire transfers, (the so-called “CPMF”) in order to improve the fiscal situation of the country or to increase the IOF taxation. We cannot predict which policies will be adopted by the Brazilian government and whether these policies will negatively affect the economy or our business or financial performance.
The Brazilian economy has been experiencing a slowdown over the past years and the Brazil’s GDP growth has fluctuated over the past few years, with a growth of 3.0% in 2013, an increase of 0.5% in 2014, and a contraction of 3.5% in 2015 and 3.3% in 2016. In 2017, 2018 and 2019 Brazilian economy increased 1.3%, 1.3% and 1.1%, respectively. In 2020, there was a decrease of 4.1%. Inflation and unemployment have increased more recently and the Brazilian Real has weakened significantly in comparison to the U.S. dollar. Although the scenario still uncertain, particularly due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the market expectations for 2021 are that the Brazilian economy will experience a growth in GDP. Our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by the economic conditions in Brazil.
Allegations of political corruption against the Brazilian government and the Brazilian legislative branch could create economic and political instability.
In the past, members of the Brazilian government and of the Brazilian legislative branch have faced allegations of political corruption. As a result, a number of politicians, including senior federal officials and congressmen, resigned and/or have been arrested. Several members of the Brazilian executive and legislative branches of government were investigated as a result of allegations of unethical and illegal conduct identified by the Car Wash Operation (Operação Lava-Jato) being conducted by the Office of the Brazilian Federal Prosecutor. Any political crisis could worsen the economic conditions in Brazil, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition
Moreover, the economic and political crisis have resulted in a further downgrading of the country’s long-term credit rating from two of the three major rating companies, placing Brazil 3 notches below the limit of the speculative investment grade level (“junk”). Standard & Poor's downgraded Brazil to BB with a stable outlook in January 2018, Fitch Ratings downgraded to BB- with a stable outlook in February 2018, while Moody’s maintained its Ba2 rating, with a negative outlook since May 2017. Brazil’s sovereign rating is currently rated by the three major risk rating agencies as follows: BB- by S&P and Fitch Ratings and Ba2 by Moody’s. Various major Brazilian companies were also downgraded. Such downgrades have further worsened the conditions of the Brazilian economy and the condition of Brazilian companies, especially those relying on foreign investments.
More recently, in March, 2021, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) set up a permanent monitoring group to check if the combat against corruption has been regressing in Brazil.
53

Restrictions on the movement of capital out of Brazil may impair our ability to receive payments from our Brazilian Subsidiaries and restrict their ability to make payments in U.S. dollars.
In the past, the Brazilian economy has experienced balance of payment deficits and shortages in foreign exchange reserves, and the Brazilian government has responded by restricting the ability of Brazilian or foreign persons or entities to convert reais into foreign currencies. The Brazilian government may institute a restrictive exchange control policy in the future. Any restrictive exchange control policy could prevent or restrict our Brazilian Subsidiaries’ access to U.S. dollars, and consequently their ability to meet their U.S. dollar obligations and may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Our business in Brazil is subject to governmental regulation.
Our Brazilian operations are subject to a variety of national, state, and local laws and regulations, including environmental, agricultural, health and safety and labor laws. We invest financial and managerial resources to comply with these laws and related permit requirements. Our failure to do so could subject us to fines or penalties, enforcement actions, claims for personal injury or property damages, or obligations to investigate and/or remediate damage or injury. Moreover, if applicable laws and regulations, or the interpretation or enforcement thereof, become more stringent in the future, our capital or operating costs could increase beyond what we currently anticipate, and the process of obtaining or renewing licenses for our activities could be hindered or even opposed by the competent authorities.
The Brazilian government has been constantly implementing new legal provisions through Provisional Presidential Decrees, which expire and loose effect if not converted into law by the Brazilian National Congress after 120 days. This legislative practice causes uncertainties and may adversely affect our business and operations.
We are also subject to laws and regulations imposed in Brazil and its agencies, including (i) the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (Agência Nacional do Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustível) and by the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica) on account of our production of sugarcane, ethanol and electricity (ii) the Ministry of Agriculture, Breeding Cattle and Supply (Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento), on account of our agricultural, sugarcane and ethanol production activities. If an adverse final decision is issued in an administrative process, we could be exposed to penalties and sanctions derived from the violation of any of these laws and regulations, including the payment of fines, and, depending on the level of severity applied to the infraction, the closure of facilities and/or stoppage of activities and the cancellation or suspension of the registrations, authorizations and licenses, which may also result in temporary interruption or discontinuity of activities in our plants, and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Government laws and regulations in Brazil governing the burning of sugarcane could have a material adverse impact on our business or financial performance.
In Brazil, a relevant percentage of sugarcane is currently harvested by burning the crop, which removes leaves in addition to eliminating insects and other pests. The states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso do Sul, among others, have established laws and regulations that limit and/or entirely prohibit the burning of sugarcane and there is a likelihood that increasingly stringent regulations will be imposed by those states and other governmental agencies in the near future.
Such limitations arise from a Brazilian Federal Decree that set forth the complete elimination of the harvest by burning the crop until 2018 in areas where it is possible to carry out mechanized harvest. In the state of Minas Gerais, the deadline imposed by the State Government for the elimination of the harvest by burning the crop is 2014, for areas with declivity lower than 12%, and for areas with declivity higher than 12%, they are subject to an additional term at the discretion of the State Environmental Agency, on a case by case basis. Nevertheless, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, the current deadline is 2018 for the elimination of harvest by burning the crop for areas where mechanized harvest can be carried out, as per the Brazilian Federal Decree.
The strengthening of the laws and regulations or the total prohibition of sugarcane burning would require us to increase our planned investment in harvesting equipment, which, in turn, would limit our ability to fund other investments. In addition, the state of São Paulo has imposed an obligation on growers to dedicate a certain percentage of land used for sugarcane cultivation for native or reclaimed forest area. The cost of setting aside this land is difficult to predict and may increase costs for us or our sugarcane suppliers. As a result, the costs to comply with existing or new laws or regulations are likely to increase, and, in turn, our ability to operate our plants and harvest our sugarcane crops may be adversely affected.

Risks Related to a Luxembourg Company
We are a Luxembourg corporation (“société anonyme”) and it may be difficult for you to obtain or enforce judgments against us or our executive officers and directors in the United States.
We are organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Most of our assets are located outside the United States. Furthermore, most of our directors and officers and experts reside outside the United States, and most of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, you may find it difficult to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or to enforce judgments outside the United States obtained against us or these persons in U.S. courts, including judgments in actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. Likewise, it may also be difficult for you to enforce in U.S. courts judgments obtained against us or these persons in courts located in jurisdictions outside the United States, including actions predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws. It may also be difficult for an investor to bring an action in a Luxembourg court predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us or these persons. Luxembourg law provides shareholders the right to bring a derivative action on behalf of the Company only in limited circumstances and subject to conditions only admit, shareholders’ right to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company.
Service of process within Luxembourg upon the Company may be possible, provided that The Hague Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in Civil or Commercial Matters of November 15, 1965 is complied with. As there is no treaty in force on the reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters between the United States and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, courts in Luxembourg will not automatically recognize and enforce a final judgment rendered by a U.S. court. The enforceability in Luxembourg courts of judgments entered by U.S. courts will be subject prior any enforcement in Luxembourg to the procedure and the conditions set forth in particular in the Luxembourg civil procedure code and/or established by court interpretation, which conditions may include the following and which may evolve:
• the judgment of the U.S. court is final and duly enforceable (exécutoire) in the United States and has not been fully enforced in the United States and/or any other jurisdiction;
• the U.S. court had jurisdiction over the subject matter leading to the judgment (based on the verification of a characterized link of connection of the litigation to the judge of origin);
• the U.S. court has applied to the dispute the substantive law which would have been applied by Luxembourg courts;
• the judgment was granted following proceedings where the counterparty had the opportunity to appear, and if it appeared, to present a defense and other conditions for a fair trial have been complied with taking into account all facts and circumstances whether occurring before, during or after trial or issue and delivery of the judgment, and the judgment has not been obtained by reason of fraud;
• the U.S. court has acted in accordance with its own procedural laws;
• the judgment of the U.S. court does not contravene Luxembourg international public policy both substantive and procedural (as such term is interpreted under the laws of Luxembourg); and
• the absence of contradiction between such judgment and an already issued judgment of a Luxembourg court.
Under our articles of incorporation, we indemnify and hold our directors harmless against all claims and suits brought against them, subject to limited exceptions. Under our articles of incorporation, to the extent allowed or required by law, the rights and obligations among or between us, any of our current or former directors, officers and company employees and any current or former shareholder will be governed exclusively by the laws of Luxembourg and subject to the jurisdiction of the Luxembourg courts, unless such rights or obligations do not relate to or arise out of their capacities as such. Although there is doubt as to whether U.S. courts would enforce such provision in an action brought in the United States under U.S. securities laws, such provision could make the enforcement of judgments obtained outside Luxembourg more difficult as to the enforcement against our assets in Luxembourg or jurisdictions that would apply Luxembourg law.
55

You may have more difficulty protecting your interests than you would as a shareholder of a U.S. corporation.
Our corporate affairs are governed by our articles of incorporation and by the laws governing joint stock companies organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg as well as such other applicable local law, rules and regulations. The rights of our shareholders and the responsibilities of our directors and officers under Luxembourg law are different from those applicable to a corporation incorporated in the United States. As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, and consequently, there may be less publicly available information about us than is regularly published by or about U.S. issuers. Also, Luxembourg regulations governing the securities of Luxembourg companies may not be as extensive as those in effect in the United States, and Luxembourg law and regulations in respect of corporate governance matters may not be as protective of minority shareholders as state corporation laws in the United States. Therefore, you may have more difficulty protecting your interests in connection with actions taken by our directors and officers or our principal shareholders than you would as a shareholder of a corporation incorporated in the United States.
Luxembourg and European Union insolvency and bankruptcy laws and regulations are substantially different from U.S. insolvency laws and may offer our shareholders less protection than they would have under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy laws.
As a company organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and with its registered office in Luxembourg, we are subject to Luxembourg and European Union insolvency and bankruptcy laws and regulations in the event any insolvency proceedings are initiated against us including, among other things, Council and European Parliament Regulation (EU) 2015/848 of 20 May 2015 on insolvency proceedings (recast). Should courts in another European Union Member State determine that the insolvency and bankruptcy laws of that Member State apply to us (or to certain of our assets) in accordance with and subject to such European Union regulations, the courts in that Member State could have jurisdiction over the insolvency proceedings initiated against us. Insolvency and bankruptcy laws in Luxembourg or the relevant other European Union Member State, if any, may offer our shareholders less protection than they would have under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy laws and make it more difficult for them to recover the amount they could expect to recover in a liquidation under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy laws.
You may not be able to participate in equity offerings, and you may not receive any value for rights that we may grant.

History
In September 2002, we commenced our operations with the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Pecom Agropecuaria S.A., an Argentine corporation (sociedad anónima), and we rapidly became one of the largest agricultural companies in Argentina. Totaling more than 74,000 hectares of farmland, this acquisition represented one of the largest stock purchase transactions in South America in 2002. In connection with the acquisition, Pecom Agropecuaria S.A. changed its name to Adeco Agropecuaria S.A. (“Adeco Agropecuaria”). Adeco Agropecuaria was the platform from which we executed our expansion plans, including the acquisition of additional land and the diversification of our business activities.
In 2004, we began our regional expansion and acquired a farm in Uruguay (approximately 5,086 hectares) and three farms in Western Bahia Brazil (20,419 hectares). In 2005, we continued the expansion of our crop business in Argentina with the acquisitions of La Agraria S.A. (approximately 4,857 hectares) and Establecimientos El Orden S.A. and Cavok S.A. (approximately 15,157 hectares) and Las Horquetas farm (2,086 hectares).
In 2005, we acquired our first sugar and ethanol mill, Usina Monte Alegre S.A. (“UMA”), with a crushing capaci ty at that time of 0.9 million tons of sugarcane per year at that time. UMA became our platform for expansion in the Brazilian sug ar and ethanol sector.
In 2006 and 2007, we continued our land portfolio expansion and vertical integration through the acquisitions of Pilagá S.A. (formerly Pilagá S.R.L. and before that, Pilagá S.A.G.), one of the largest and oldest agriculture companies in Argentina, with more than 88,000 hectares and two rice processing facilities, and one additional farm of approximately 2,400 hectares in Argentina and two farms of approximately 4,000 hectares in Brazil for the production of crops. Also, in December 2007, we acquired Bañado del Salado S.A., Agro Invest S.A. and Forsalta S.A., with more than 43,000 hectares for crop production in Argentina, and one farm in Uruguay of approximately 3,177 hectares.
During 2007, we also began the expansion of our dairy business in Argentina. After five years of research, we began the construction of a “free-stall” dairy facility with a capacity to milk 3,000 cows.
In Brazil, during 2007, we began the construction of a sugarcane cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul with a projected 10.0 million tons of sugarcane crushing capacity. Angelica was the first greenfield mill we built from inception, with a nominal crushing capacity of 4.9 million tons. We also bought approximately 13,000 hectares of farmland for the planting of sugarcane to supply the mill. Angelica began operating during August 2008, and reached full operational capacity during April 2010.
Additionally, in August 2010, we acquired Dinaluca S.A., an agricultural company consisting of a farm located in the province of Corrientes, Argentina, and with more than 14,000 hectares for crop production in Argentina. Further, between August and November 2011, we acquired: (i) Compañía Agroforestal de Servicios y Mandatos S.A., an agricultural Argentine company owning more than 4,900 hectares of land in the province of Santiago del Estero, (ii) Simoneta S.A., an agricultural Argentine company owner of more than 4,600 hectares of land in the province of La Pampa, and (iii) 3,400 hectares of land for crop production in the province of San Luis, Argentina.
During 2012, we began the construction of our second free stall dairy facility in Argentina, with a capacity of 3,500 milking cows.
On February 26, 2013, Adecoagro formed a 50/50 joint venture, CHS Agro S.A., together with CHS de Argentina S.A., a leading farmer-owned energy, grains and foods company based in the United States. CHS Agro built a sunflower processing facility located in the city of Pehuajo, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The facility processes black oil and confectionary sunflower into specialty products such as in-shell seeds and oil seeds, which are exported entirely. The joint venture grows confectionary sunflower on leased farms, while black oil sunflower is originated from third parties. On January 14, 2019 and after a restructuring of the joint venture, we purchased the remaining 50% of the capital stock of CHS Agro from CHS de Argentina S.A. Adecoagro currently owns 100% of CHS Agro S.A., which has since been renamed as Girasoles del Plata S.A. The consideration for this acquisition was nominal.
During March 2013, we began the construction of the second greenfield project in our sugarcane cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul, the Ivinhema mill, with 5.7 million tons of sugarcane crushing capacity and located 45 km south of Angelica. This mill allowed us to consolidate our cluster, generate important synergies and economies of scale, and improve operational margins and Adjusted Free Cash Flow. The Ivinhema mill was built in two phases: the first phase with 2.0 million tons of capacity was completed during April 2012, and the second phase with 3.0 million tons of crushing capacity was completed in mid-2015.
57

During October 2017, we completed the construction of our first bio-digester. The facility generates electricity by burning biogas extracted from the effluents produced in our Diary operations. On November 3, 2017, we began generating and delivering 1.4 MW of electricity to the local power grid. In addition to increasing revenues and securing our energy requirements, this facility enhances the sustainability of our free stall dairy operation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving the effluent management and concentrating valuable nutrients, which are applied back to the fields.
On February 5, 2019 we acquired a peanut processing facility for $10 million. The facility is located in Dalmacio Vélez, Province of Cordoba, Argentina.
On February 8, 2019 we acquired two milk processing plants and two trademarks from SanCor Cooperativas Unidas Limitadas. One of the acquired facilities is located in the city of Chivilcoy, Province of Buenos Aires, and is primarily focused on fluid milk production for the domestic market in Argentina. The other acquired facility is located in the city of Morteros, Province of Cordoba, and produces dry milk and cheese for the export market. In addition, we acquired the intellectual property covering the brands “Las Tres Niñas” and “Angelita” and associated trademarks. Both brand names are well recognized in Argentina and represent strong brands to market our retail consumer dairy products. The total consideration for this operation was US$ 47 million.
Corporate Development
On October 30, 2010, as part of a corporate reorganization, referred to herein as the Reorganization, AFI Ltd., a subsidiary of IFH LLC and the parent of Adecoagro LLC, distributed its interest in Adecoagro LLC to IFH LLC and commenced a process of dissolution, making IFH LLC the direct parent of Adecoagro LLC. Thereafter, our shareholders transferred pro rata 98% of their membership interests in IFH LLC to Adecoagro S.A. (a corporation organized under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg with no prior holdings or operations, formed for the purpose, among others, of facilitating our IPO) in exchange for 100% of the common shares of Adecoagro.
In connection with the Reorganization, Adecoagro converted IFH LLC from a limited liability company to IFH LP, a Delaware limited partnership. owned 2% by our shareholders, approximately 98% by Adecoagro, in each case as limited partners, and the remainder by Ona Ltd., a newly formed Maltese corporation, as its general partner. Adecoagro LLC was also converted to Adecoagro LP, a Delaware limited partnership, owned approximately 100% by IFH LP as limited partner, and the remainder by Toba Ltd., a newly formed Maltese corporation, as its general partner.
On January 28, 2011, we successfully completed our initial public offering of our shares listed on the NYSE and on February 2, 2011 we issued 28,405,925 shares, at a price of US$11 per share. The shares trade under the symbol “AGRO.”
On February 2, 2011, we also issued and sold to Al Gharrafa Investment Company (“Al Gharrafa”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Qatar Holding LLC and one of our shareholders, 7,377,598 common shares at a purchase price of $10.65 per share, which is equal to the price per common share paid by the underwriters of our initial public offering of the Company, pursuant to an agreement entered into on January 6, 2011. In addition, on February 11, 2011, we issued 4,285,714 shares when the over-allotment option was exercised by the underwriters in our IPO.
During 2012, the Company issued in a series of transactions 1,654,752 shares to certain limited partners of IFH in exchange for their residual interest in IFH increasing Adecoagro’s interest in IFH to approximately 100%.
On February 5, 2013, we completed an underwritten secondary offering of 13.9 million common shares of Adecoagro offered by our shareholder, HBK Master Fund LP at a price per share to the public of $8.00 pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3 filed with the SEC. On February 13, 2013, HBK Master Fund LP sold an additional 2.1 million common shares of Adecoagro pursuant to the overallotment option it granted to the underwriter in the secondary offering.
On March 27, 2015, Adecoagro commenced a series of transactions for the purpose of transferring the domicile of its subsidiary, Adecoagro LP to Luxembourg. In connection with the redomiciliation of Adecoagro LP, Adecoagro merged IFH LP into Adecoagro LP with Adecoagro LP (Delaware) as the surviving entity.

B. BUSINESS OVERVIEW
COVID-19
The global impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and measures taken to reduce the spread of the virus have had an adverse effect on the global macroeconomic environment, and may continue to create continued economic uncertainty and reduced economic activity. The outbreak has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place or total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns.
The speed and extent of the spread of COVID-19, and the duration and intensity of resulting business disruption and related financial and social impact, are still uncertain, and such adverse effects on our business and financial position may still be material.
Government measures in Argentina and Brazil
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, on March 20, 2020 the Argentine government implemented a social, preventive and mandatory isolation regime, prohibiting the circulation of people on routes, roads and public spaces (the “Mandatory Isolation Regime”) which was extended until November 8, 2020 for the area of greater Buenos Aires, among many other jurisdictions, by means of Decree No. 875/2020. During the term of the Mandatory Isolation Regime, the activities pursued by our Argentine subsidiaries, related to agricultural production, distribution and commercialization, were exempted from the Mandatory Isolation Regime for being considered “essential” activities.
In order to guarantee the regular supply of essential products, the Argentine government established measures that, among others, obliged those who participate in the production, distribution and commercialization chain of certain products, for a 30-day period (r enewable if necessary), to (i) sell them at their maximum prices as of March 6, 2020; and (ii) increase production to their full capacity and adopt adequate measures to guarantee their supply and delivery, and created (i) a pricing regime establishing standard maximum prices of a basic listing of consumer products for each province (available on the website www.preciosmaximos.produccion.gob.ar); and (ii) a public and free mechanism that allowed the filing of claims and complaints by consumers and those included in the production, distribution and commercialization chain of the affected consumer products subject to maximum prices. Due to these measures, the prices of some of the products sold in the domestic market by the Company were capped during the year, and we were not able to reflect the actual increase in costs, reducing our profit margins.
After the Argentine Supreme Court determined on March 17, 2020 the suspension of judicial terms until April 12, 2020, the Argentine Tax Court and the Argentine Federal Tax Authority (as well as other public agencies) followed the same criteria. During this period, all proceedings started against Customs or the Tax Authority were be suspended, though all procedural acts that could take place in this period were considered valid. Although the extraordinary term suspension affected all proceedings carried out under the Tax Procedural Law and the Customs Code, it did not affect the regular obligations of taxpayers or importers/exporters.
On March 20, 2020, the BCRA established an exceptional framework for banking and other foreign exchange institutions during the term of the Mandatory Isolation Regime, including: i) closure of retail centers of financial and foreign exchange institutions; ii) services that must still be provided by financial institutions; iii) extension of maturities for bank financings; iv) suspension of electronic check clearing (which was later reinstated by means of Communique “A” 6944); v) remote operation of the foreign exchange market; vi) continuity of wholesale exchange market and tenders of certain Central Bank bills called Leliq (Letras de Liquidez del Banco Central or “LELIQ”); vii) continuity of payment methods operations; and viii) remote operation of stock markets.
In Brazil, the government created a crisis committee to monitor the impact of COVID-19 in March 2020. Since then, it has announced several measures (tax and others) to address the effects of COVID-19. In this regard, the Brazilian health authorities, as well as several state and municipal authorities have adopted or recommended social distancing measures. Likewise, the Brazilian Congress is currently discussing several measures to increase the Brazilian government’s revenues, such as imposing new taxes, revoking tax benefits and increasing the rates of current taxes.
60

In Brazil, states and municipalities may also revoke tax benefits and/or increase the rates of current taxes to increase its revenues (See “Item 3. Key Information-D. Risk Factors —Risks Related to Brazil- We receive certain tax benefits from Brazilian Tax Authorities which we cannot assure will be maintained or renewed.”)
In the first six months of 2020, our Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business, experienced a decrease in prices of ethanol due to the decrease in international oil prices, and a decrease in demand as a consequence of the reduced circulation of people in response to the pandemic. In light of these factors, we slowed down our crushing pace, implemented a cost reduction plan and maintained the workforce sized to our operational needs. As signs of a partial recovery started to emerge, we revamped our operations and accelerated our crushing pace during the second semester, more than offsetting the lower initial crushing. In addition, the Brazilian Congress is currently discussing a Bill which, if approved will impose mandatory and temporary postponement of the terms of rural leases and terms on certain situations, preventing lessors from terminating such agreements and filing for repossession of the leased land.
Company measures
Following the declaration of the COVID-19 pandemic by the World Health Organization, the Company committed to provide a safe environment for its employees and contractors, and immediately prepared measures and developed safety protocols to mitigate the eventual risk of being affected by the disease, and to prevent an uncontrolled spread of COVID-19 through the operations of its subsidiaries. Adecoagro has enacted prevention and action protocols tailored for each facility and activity, in addition to constituting crisis committees to monitor the Company’s response to the pandemic.
Measures taken include but are not limited to: (i) body temperature controls at entrances of each facility and other critical check points, (ii) mandatory distancing in the workplace, (iii) maximum limit of people in the conferences rooms, lunch room and vehicles (iv) sanitary barriers, (v) special protective attire and masks, (vi) mandatory quarantines for those who have been in contact with travelers or with symptomatic persons, (vii) training programs and information about how to prevent the risks of transmission of COVID-19, (viii) hired an infectious disease specialist to further assess on site. Additionally, remote work has been guaranteed for the duration of the Pandemic for employees based in central offices, and a rotation scheme has been implemented for administrative employees based in the farms or industrial facilities.
Despite the COVID-19, all our businesses have been operating without any major disruption both at the farm and industry levels. For more information on the possible impacts on the COVID-19 in our business, see“Item 3. Key Information-D. Risk Factors —Risks Related to Our Business and Industries — Ethanol prices are correlated to the price of sugar and are also closely correlated to the price of oil, so that a decline in the price of sugar or a decline in the price of oil will adversely affect our sugar and ethanol businesses" and "We may be exposed to risks related to health epidemics, and the COVID-19 in particular, that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and results of operations".
Our Company
We are a leading agro-industrial company in South America, with operations in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. We are currently involved in a broad range of businesses, including farming crops and other agricultural products, dairy operations, sugar, ethanol and energy production and land transformation. Our sustainable business model is focused on (i) a low-cost production model that leverages growing or producing each of our agricultural products in regions where we believe we have competitive advantages, (ii) reducing the volatility of our returns through product and geographic diversification and use of advanced technology, (iii) benefiting from vertical integration in key segments of the agro-industrial chain, (iv) acquiring and transforming land to improve its productivity and realizing land appreciation through strategic dispositions, and (v) implementing sustainable production practices and technologies focused on long-term profitability.
As of December 31, 2020, we owned a total of 220,186 hectares, comprised of 18 farms in Argentina, 8 farms in Brazil and 1 farm in Uruguay. In addition we own and operate several agro-industrial production facilities including three rice processing facilities in Argentina, three dairy free-stalls with 11,477 milking cows and two milk processing facilities in Argentina, one peanut processing facility and one sunflower processing facility in Argentina, two grain handling and conditioning plants in Argentina, and three sugar and ethanol mills in Brazil with a sugarcane crushing capacity of 14.2 million tons.
We believe that we are:
• one of the largest owners of productive farmland in South America, with more than 184,000 owned productive hectares as of December 31, 2020 (excluding legal land reserves pursuant to local regulations and other land reserves) located in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, producing a wide range of agricultural products;
61

• a leading producer of grains and oilseeds in South America. During the 2019/2020 harvest year, we harvested 196,256 hectares (including 94,985 leased hectares and 34,556 second crop hectares) and produced 720,059 tons of grains, including soybeans, corn, wheat, peanut, sunflower and cotton, among others;
• one of the largest fully integrated producers of rough (unprocessed) rice in the world, planting 41,544 hectares (including 2,382 leased hectares) and producing 278,348 tons during the 2019/20 harvest year, which accounted for 23% of the total Argentine production according to the Confederacion de Molinos Arroceros del Mercosur (“Conmasur”). We are also a large processor and exporter of white rice (processed) in Argentina, accounting for 19% of total white rice production capacity in Argentina and 45% of total Argentine white rice exports during 2020 (approximately 30% of total paddy basis), according to Camara de Industriales Arroceros de Entre Ríos (Federacion de Entidades Arroceras);
• a leading dairy producer in South America in terms of our cutting-edge technology, productivity per cow and grain conversion efficiencies, producing 145.2 million liters of raw milk during 2020, adding value in our processing facilities. We are a leading retailer of dairy products, including three popular brands, “Las Tres Niñas”, "Apóstoles" and “Angelita.”
• a growing producer of sugar and ethanol in Brazil, where we currently own three sugar and ethanol mills, with an aggregate installed capacity of 14.2 million tons per year and full cogeneration capacity (the generation of electricity from sugarcane bagasse, the fiber portion of sugarcane that remains after the extraction of sugarcane juice) of 241 MW as of December 31, 2020. Our operation is highly integrated, meaning that 94% of the sugarcane crushed at our mills is supplied from our own plantations. As of December 31, 2020, our sugarcane plantation consisted of 176,651 hectares; and
• one of the leading companies in South America involved in the acquisition and transformation of undermanaged land to more productive uses, generating higher cash yields. During the last fourteen fiscal years, we have consistently sold a portion of our fully mature farmland every year. In aggregate, we have sold close to 102,913 hectares generating capital gains of approximately $250 million.
We are engaged in three main businesses:
1.Farming Business: As of December 31, 2020 we owned 206,896 hectares (excluding sugarcane farms) of farmland in Argentina and Uruguay, of which 105,883 hectares are croppable, 13,707 hectares are being evaluated for transformation, 54,450 hectares are suitable for raising beef cattle some of which are leased to third party cattle farmers, constituting a total of 174,040 productive hectares, and 32,856 hectares are legal land reserves pursuant to local regulations or other land reserves. During the 2019/2020 harvest year we held leases or have entered into agriculture partnerships for an additional 97,367 croppable hectares. We own the facilities and have the resources to store and condition 100% of our crop and rice production. We do not depend on third parties to condition our production for sale. Our farming business is subdivided into four main businesses:
• Crop business: We produce a wide range of agricultural commodities including soybeans, corn, wheat, peanut, sunflower and cotton, among others. In Argentina, our farming activities are conducted mainly in the Argentine humid pampas region, where agro-ecological conditions are optimal for low-cost production. Since 2004, we have expanded our operations throughout the center-west region of Uruguay, as well as in the northern region of Argentina. During the 2019/2020 harvest year, we planted approximately 196,262 hectares of crops, including second harvests, producing 720,059 tons of grains, including soybeans, wheat, corn, peanut, sunflower and cotton among others. We also planted an additional 6,758 hectares where we produced over 226,821 tons of forage that we used for cow feed in our dairy operation. During the current 2020/21 harvest year, we planted approximately 217,797 hectares of crops, including second harvest, and also planted an additional 5,337 hectares of forage.
• Rice business: We own a fully-integrated rice operation in Argentina. We produce irrigated rice in the northeast provinces of Argentina, where the availability of water, sunlight, and fertile soil results in one of the most ideal regions in the world for producing rice at low cost. We believe that we are one of the largest producers of rough (unprocessed) rice in Argentina, producing 278,348 tons during the 2019/2020 harvest year, which accounted for 23% of the total Argentine production according to Conmasur. We own three rice mills that process our own production, as well as rice purchased from third parties. We produce different types of white and brown rice that is sold both in the domestic Argentine retail market under our own brand; and exported. During the current 2020/21 harvest year, we planted 44,282 hectares of rice.
62

• Dairy business: We believe that we are a leading dairy producer in South America in terms of our utilization of cutting-edge technology, productivity per cow and grain conversion efficiencies. Through the production of raw milk, we are able to transform forage and grains into value-added animal protein. Our free-stall dairies in Argentina allow us to optimize our use of resources (land, dairy cow feed and capital), increase our productivity and maximize the conversion of forage and grain into raw milk. We produced 145.2 million liters of raw milk during 2020, with a daily average of 10,876 milking cows, delivering an average of 36.5 liters of milk per cow per day. On October, 2017 we completed the construction of our first bio-digestor with 1.4MWH of installed capacity. The facility generates electricity by burning biogas extracted from the effluents produced by our milking cows. In addition to increasing revenues and securing our energy requirements, this facility enhances the sustainability of our free-stall dairy operation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving the effluent management and concentrating valuable nutrients which are applied back to the fields. In 2019 we acquired two milk processing facilities which produce UHT and UP milk, milk powder and semi-hard cheese with the potential to produce other products, and with flexibility to sell into both the domestic and export market based on relative profitability. During 2020 our facilities produced 115 million liters of fluid milk, over 3,600 tons of semi-hard cheese and over 18,400 tons of milk powder.
• All Other Segments business: Our all other segments business consists of leasing pasture land to cattle farmers in Argentina. We lease over 12,735 hectares of pasture land which is not suitable for crop production to third party cattle farmers.
2. Sugar, Ethanol and Energy Business: We cultivate and harvest sugarcane that is processed in our own mills to produce sugar, ethanol and energy. As of December 31, 2020, our total sugarcane plantation consisted of 176,651 hectares in the states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Minas Gerais, Brazil, of which 13,291 hectares of sugarcane were planted on owned land, and 163,360 hectares were planted on land leased from third parties under long term agreements. We currently own and operate three sugar and ethanol mills, UMA, Angélica and Ivinhema, with a total crushing capacity of 14.2(1) million tons of sugarcane per year as of December 31, 2020. UMA is a small but efficient mill located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, with a sugarcane crushing capacity of 1.2(2) million tons per year, full cogeneration capacity and an associated sugar brand with strong presence in the regional retail market (Açúcar Monte Alegre). We plant and harvest 99.7% of the sugarcane milled at UMA, with the remaining 0.3% acquired from third parties. UMA is also engaged in the production of organic sugar and during 2020 it exported the product for the first time, after having received the necessary certification to export organic sugar to the European Union. Angélica and Ivinhema are two new, modern mills, which we built in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, with current sugarcane crushing capacities of 5.6(3) and 7.4(4) million tons per year, respectively. Both mills are located 45 km apart, and form a cluster surrounded by one large sugarcane plantation. Angelica and Ivinhema are equipped with high pressure steam boilers and turbo-generators with the capacity to use all the sugarcane bagasse by-product to generate electricity. Approximately 28% of the electricity generated is used to power the mill and the excess electricity is sold to the local power grid, resulting in the mills having full cogeneration capacity.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, we crushed 11.1 million tons of sugarcane. Our mills produce both sugar and ethanol, and accordingly, we have some flexibility to adjust our production (within certain capacity limits that generally vary between 40% and 80%) between sugar and ethanol, to take advantage of more favorable market demand and prices at given points in time. For the year ended December 31, 2020 we produced 646,981 tons of sugar and 502,170 cubic meters of ethanol.
During 2020 we started commercializing carbon credits (CBio) under the RenovaBio program. The RenovaBio is a program designed by the Brazilian government to cut carbon emissions by establishing a mechanism that discourages fossil fuel consumption while encouraging the production of renewable energy. Under this program, a carbon credit market is established in which sellers of fossil fuels have to acquire a mandatory quota of carbon credits which are defined based on the amount of non-renewable fuels sold by them in the prior year. The issuers of CBios are biofuel producers whose mills have been certified by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas & Biofuels (ANP) and awarded a score based on how “green” their mill operation is. Said score acts as a multiplier effect to the amount of CBios the mill can issue for every cubic meter of ethanol it sells. CBios, in turn, are financial instruments traded on Brazil’s B3 platform. Prices are based on the supply-demand of those credits. During 2020 we sold 492 thousand CBios at an average price of 40.9 BRL/CBio (approximately 7.5 USD/CBio).

(2) Assuming an average of 4,800 hours
(3) Assuming an average of 5,333 hours
(4) Assuming an average of 5,920 hours
63

3. Land Transformation Business: We acquire farmlands we believe are undeveloped or underutilized and, by implementing cutting-edge production technology and agricultural best practices, transform the land to be suitable for more productive uses, enhance yields and increase the value of the land. During the eighteen-year period since our inception, we have effectively put into production over 171,000 hectares of land that were previously undeveloped or undermanaged. During 2020, we continued the transformation process of over 120,000 hectares we own. We realize and capture land transformation value through the strategic disposition of assets that have reached full development potential. We believe that the rotation of our land portfolio allows us to re-allocate capital efficiently, maximizing our return on invested capital. Our current owned land portfolio consists of 220,186 hectares, distributed throughout our operating regions as follows: 93% in Argentina, 6% in Brazil, and 1% in Uruguay. During the last fourteen years, we sold 25 of our fully mature farms, generating capital gains of approximately $250 million.
We promote sustainable land use through our land transformation activities, which seek to promote environmentally responsible agricultural production and a balance between production and ecosystem preservation. We do not operate in heavily wooded areas or wetland areas.
From time to time, the company seeks to recycle its capital by disposing of a portion of its fully developed farms. This allows the company to monetize the capital gains generated by its land transformation activities and allocate its capital to acquire land with higher transformation potential or to deploy it in other businesses, thereby enhancing the return on invested capital. Please see also “Item 3. Key Information-D. Risk Factors —Risks Related to Argentina — Changes in Argentine law concerning foreign ownership of rural properties may adversely affect our results of operations and future investments in rural properties in Argentina” and “-Risks Related to Brazil- Recent changes in Brazilian rules concerning foreign investment in rural properties may adversely affect our investments.”

Our Strengths
We believe the following are our competitive strengths:
• Unique and strategic asset base. We own strategically located farmland and agro-industrial assets in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. We engage in continuous improvement of our operations and practices, resulting in the reduction of operating costs and an increase in productivity, ultimately enhancing the value of our properties and generating capital gains. Our operations also benefit from strategically located industrial facilities throughout Argentina and Brazil, increasing operating efficiencies and reducing operating and logistical costs. We are vertically integrated where economics and returns are attractive, where the efficiency of our primary operation is significantly enhanced, or where lack of a competitive market results in the absence of a transparent price determination mechanism. Our diversified asset base creates valuable synergies and economies of scale, including (i) the ability to transfer the technologies and best practices that we have developed across our business lines, (ii) the ability to apply value-adding land transformation strategies to farmland in connection with our farming and sugarcane operations, and (iii) a greater ability to negotiate more favorable terms with our suppliers and customers.
Owning a significant portion of the land on which we operate is a key element of our business model.
• Low-cost production leveraging agro-ecological competitive advantages. Each of the commodity products we grow is produced in regions where agro-ecological conditions provide competitive advantages and which, through the implementation of our efficient and sustainable production model, allow us to become one of the lowest cost producers.
• Our grain and oilseed production is based in the Argentine humid pampas region where soil fertility, regular rainfalls, temperate climate, availability of land and proximity to ports contribute to the reduced use of fertilizers and agrochemicals, high productivity and stable yields and efficient logistics, ultimately resulting in one of the lowest costs per ton of grain produced and delivered.
• Our rice operation is located in the northeast provinces of Argentina, one of the best rice farming regions in the world due to plentiful sunlight, abundant availability of water for low cost irrigation and large potential for expansion.
• Our dairy operation is situated in the Argentine humid pampas region, where cow feed (grains, oilseeds and forage) is efficiently and abundantly produced at a low cost and climate and sanitary conditions are optimal for cow comfort, which enhances productivity, cow reproduction rates and milk quality.
• We produce sugarcane in the center-south region of Brazil, where the combination of soil and climate result in high sugarcane productivity and quality, resulting in one of the lowest production costs in the world, significantly lower than other major sugar producing regions, including India, China, the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany.
• Standardized and scalable agribusiness model applying technological innovation. We have consistently used innovative production techniques to ensure that we are at the forefront of technological improvements and environmental sustainability standards in our industry. We are implementing an agribusiness model that consists of specializing our workforce and defining standard protocols to track crop development and control production variables, thereby enhancing management decision-making. We further optimize our agribusiness model through the effective
65

implementation and constant adaptation of a portfolio of advanced agricultural and information technologies and best practices tailored to each region in which we operate and commodity we produce, allowing us to improve our crop yields, reduce operating costs and maximize margins in a sustainable manner.
• In our farming business, we use “no-till” technology as the cornerstone of our crop production and have been able to implement this technique in areas within our production regions where it had not been used before. Furthermore, we also utilize crop rotation, second harvests, integrated pest management, balanced fertilization, water management and mechanization. Additionally, we use the silo bag storage method, utilizing large polyethylene bags with a capacity of 180-200 tons which can be left on the field for 12 months, resulting in low-cost, scalable and flexible storage on the field during harvest, which we believe allows us to expand our crop storage capacity at a low cost, generate important logistic and freight savings by moving our production in the off-season when freight fares are lower, and time the entry of our production into the market at optimal price points. See “ —Operations and Principal Activities-Farming-Storage and Conditioning.”
• In our dairy business, we believe that we were the first company in South America to implement the “free-stall” production system, resulting in more efficient conversion of feed to raw milk and higher production rates per cow compared to our peers in the region.
• In our sugar, ethanol and energy business, our sugarcane cluster, constituted by the Ivinhema and Angélica mills (i) has a highly mechanized planting and harvesting operation, which has increased our sugarcane production, reduced our operating costs and contributed to environmental sustainability by eliminating the need to burn the sugarcane before harvest; (ii) has the capacity to use all the bagasse (a by-product of the sugar and ethanol production process) that is produced, with almost no incremental cost, to cogenerate 225 MW of clean and renewable energy; (iii) has the capacity of processing 54,480 tons of sugarcane per day and (iv) has the ability to recycle by-products such as filter cake and vinasse by using them as fertilizers in our sugarcane fields, as well as recycling water and other effluents, generating important savings in input costs and protecting the environment.
• Unique diversification model to mitigate cash flow volatility. We pursue a unique multi-tier diversification strategy to reduce our exposure to production and market fluctuations that may impact our cash flow and operating results. We seek geographic diversification by spreading our portfolio of farmland and agro-industrial assets across different regions of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, thereby lowering our risk exposure to weather-related losses and contributing to stable cash flows. Additionally, we produce a variety of products including soybeans, corn, wheat, peanut, sunflower, cotton, barley, sorghum, rice, raw milk, sugar, ethanol and energy, which lowers our risk exposure to potentially depressed market conditions of any specific product. Moreover, through vertical integration in the rice, dairy, sugar, ethanol and energy businesses, we process and transform a portion of our agricultural commodities into branded retail products, reducing our commodity price risk and our reliance on the standard market distribution channels for unprocessed products. Finally, our commercial committee defines our commercial policies based on market fundamentals and the consideration of logistical and production data to develop a customized sale/hedge risk management strategy for each product.
• Expertise in acquiring farmland with transformation and appreciation potential. Since our inception in 2002, we have executed transactions for the purchase and disposition of land for over $780 million and sold over 100,000 hectares of developed land, generating capital gains of approximately $250 million. We believe we have a superior track record and have positioned ourselves as a key player in the land business in South America. Our business development team has gained extensive expertise in evaluating and acquiring farmland throughout South America and has a solid understanding of the productivity potential of each region and of the potential for land transformation and appreciation. To date, we have analyzed over 11 million hectares of farmland spread throughout the regions in which we operate and other productive regions in the world. We have developed a methodology to assess farmland and to appraise its potential value with a high degree of accuracy and efficiency by using information generated through sophisticated technology, including satellite images, rain and temperature records, soil analyses, and topography and drainage maps. Our management team has gained extensive experience in transforming and maximizing the appreciation potential of our land portfolio through the implementation of our agribusiness techniques described above. We also have an extensive track record of rotating our asset portfolio to generate capital gains and monetize the transformation and appreciation generated through our land transformation activities and agricultural operations.
• Experienced management team, knowledgeable employees. Our people are our most important asset. We have an experienced senior management team with an average of more than 20 years of experience working in our sector and a solid track record of implementing and executing large scale growth projects such as land transformations, greenfield
66

developments of industrial plants, and integrating acquisitions within our organization. Recruiting technically qualified employees at each of our farms and operating sites is a main focus of our senior management and a key to our success.
Our Business Strategy
We intend to maintain our position as a leading agricultural company in South America by expanding and consolidating each of our business lines, creating value for our shareholders. The key elements of our business strategy are:
•Expand our farming business through organic growth, leasing and strategic acquisitions. We will continue to seek opportunities for organic growth, target attractive acquisition and leasing opportunities and strive to maximize operating synergies and achieve economies of scale in each of our three main farming business areas (crops, rice and dairy). We believe that the execution risk associated with these projects is not expected to be significant as we are investing in existing operations that are highly efficient. Also our expected results do not rely exclusively on rising commodity prices, which we expect to remain flat.
◦Crops: On February 2019 we acquired a state-of-the-art peanut processing facility strategically located in Córdoba province, Argentina's largest peanut production area. The plant is equipped with high-performance equipment and is comprised of a shelling plant, a blanching plant and a seed treatment plant. It has a shelling capacity of 70 thousand tons per year, a blanching capacity of 36 thousand tons per year, a storage capacity of 50 thousand tons of inshell and 7.5 thousand tons of finished product (4.2 thousand of which are under cold storage), and a drying capacity of 1.2 thousand tons (at a 14% input moisture). The plant has been granted all the necessary certifications and permits, which allow us to satisfy demand in selective global markets that pay a premium for Argentine peanut because of its superior quality. Our increased focus in the segment, along with the plant acquisition will allow us to reduce costs by (i) saving in tolling and brokerage fees, (ii) consolidating and exporting our production from our on-site customs, (iii) reducing operational risks and (iv) having access to land at competitive prices by managing crop rotation ourselves, among others.
◦Rice business: We completed investments in the segment, allowing us to increase productivity at the farm level, improve our rice processing and distribution capabilities, and increase the value of main by-products. Some of our investments in this segment include: (i) the implementation of zero level technology in over 30,000 hectares, which has considerably reduced water consumption at the farm, increased yields by providing better germination, uniform irrigation and lower losses during harvest; (ii) the increasing use of our own machinery for planting and harvesting activities, which has allowed us to seek the optimal harvest timing; and (iii) the installment of an on-site dryer at Oscuro farm, which has allowed our grain storage and handling to be more efficient and reduce transportation costs, among others. At the industrial level, we constructed a parboil plant which has allowed us to increase our processing volume and produce a higher margin product.
◦Dairy business: As of December 2020, we had three fully operative free-stalls temporarily working at 103% of their total nominal capacity, until February 2021 when we inaugurated our fourth free-stall. The high occupancy rate did not affect productivity as we have taken special care in providing comfort and welfare to our herd. We are advancing well in growing and securing corn silage to feed additional cows. As for the bio-digester, energy production is stabilized and generating attractive results.
Additionally, since February 2019 we are owners of two milk processing facilities acquired from SanCor Cooperativas Unidas Limitadas. Both plants are well equipped and strategically located. The facility located in the city of Morteros, Province of Córdoba, is at the center of Argentina´s largest dairy basin and has a total installed processing capacity of 840 thousand liters per day aimed at producing powder milk and cheese, mainly destined to the export market. The facility located in Chivilcoy, Province of Buenos Aires, is halfway between our dairy free-stalls facilities and the City of Buenos Aires, the largest fluid dairy market. The total installed processing capacity of this facility is 870 thousand liters per day aimed at producing mostly fluid milk. (See " – Our Company)." These acquisitions are part of our long term growth strategy, consistent with our strategy for our crops, rice, sugar, ethanol, and energy businesses. We believe that being vertically integrated allows us to control the supply chain, which in turn enhances efficiencies and increases margins, and provides us with the flexibility to sell into the export and domestic markets, based on relative profitability with a view to generate attractive returns.

• Consolidate our sugar and ethanol cluster in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Our main strategy for our sugar and ethanol business is to consolidate our cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, by ramping up production in our Ivinhema and Angelica mills, which have a nominal capacity of 14.2 million tons per year. See “ —Sugar, Ethanol and Energy-Our Mills.” The consolidation of the cluster has generated important synergies, operating efficiencies and economies of scale such as (i) a reduction in the average distance from the sugarcane fields to the mills, generating important savings in sugarcane transportation expenses; (ii) one centralized management team, reducing total administration cost per ton of sugarcane milled; and (iii) a large sugarcane plantation supplying two mills, allowing for non-stop harvesting. Our sugarcane cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul has allowed us to become one of the most efficient and low cost producers of sugar, ethanol and energy in Brazil. Additionally, we plan to continue to monitor closely the Brazilian sugar and ethanol industries and may pursue selective acquisitions that provide opportunities to increase our economies of scale, operating synergies and profitability.
After reaching full capacity, our operating teams focused on finding ways to continue maximizing efficiency and generating additional synergies and cost dilution. In this process, they identified certain bottlenecks in our industrial operations which were removed with minimal investments and allowed us to increase crushing volumes per hour and total capacity per year. These organic growth projects consisted of (i) expanding Angelica’s crushing capacity by 0.9 million tons by installing larger mill rollers in the first mill and expanding the sugar centrifugation and ethanol filtration processes, and (ii) expanding Ivinhema’s capacity by 2.1 million tons, by installing a new mill expanding the sugarcane reception, juice treatment and sugar factory. Through these investments we increased the nominal crushing capacity by 30%.
• Further increase our operating efficiencies while maintaining a diversified portfolio. We intend to continue to focus on improving the efficiency of our operations and maintaining a low-cost structure to increase our profitability and protect our cash flows from commodity price cycle risk. We seek to maintain our low-cost platform by (i) making additional investments in advanced technologies, including those related to agricultural, industrial and logistical processes and information technology, (ii) improving our economies of scale through organic growth, strategic acquisitions, and more efficient production methods, and (iii) fully utilizing our resources to increase our production margins. In addition, we intend to mitigate commodity price cycle risk and minimize our exposure to weather related losses by (i) maintaining a diversified product mix and vertically integrating production of certain commodities and (ii) geographically diversifying the locations of our farms.
• Continue to implement our land transformation strategy. We plan to continue to enhance the value of our owned farmland and future land acquisitions by making them suitable for more profitable agricultural activities, thereby seeking to maximize the return on our invested capital in our land assets. In addition, we expect to continue rotating our land portfolio through strategic dispositions of certain properties in order to realize and monetize the transformation and appreciation value created by our land transformation activities. We also plan to leverage our knowledge and experience in land asset- management to identify superior buying and selling opportunities.
Operations and Principal Activities
Farming Business
Our Farming business line is divided into three main reportable operating businesses, namely crops, rice and dairy. We conduct our farming operations primarily on our own land and, to a lesser extent, on land leased from third parties. During harvest year 2019/2020 our farming operations were conducted on a total of 237,806 hectares of land, of which we own 105,883 hectares (excluding sugarcane farms), 34,556 hectares were second crop area, and we leased the remaining 97,367 hectares from third parties. During harvest year 2018/2019 our farming operations were conducted on a total of 225,115 hectares of land, of which we own 107,681 (excluding sugarcane farms), 31,127 were second crop area and we leased 86,307 hectares. During harvest year 2017/2018 we conducted our farming operations on a total of 232,796 hectares of land of which the respective figures were 124,733, 35,948 and 72,115 hectares.

Soybeans
Soybeans are an annual legume widely grown due to their high content of protein (40%) and oil (20%). They have been grown for over 3,000 years in Asia and, more recently, have been successfully cultivated around the world. The world’s top producers of soybeans currently are the United States, Brazil, Argentina, China and India. Soybeans are one of the few plants that provide a complete protein supply as they contain all eight essential amino acids. About 85% of the world’s soybeans are processed, or “crushed,” annually into soybean meal and oil. Approximately 98% of soybean meal is further processed into animal feed, with the balance used to make soy flour and proteins. Of the oil content, 85% is consumed as edible oil and the rest is used for industrial products such as fatty acids, soaps and biodiesel. We sell our soybeans mainly to crushing and processing industries, which produce soybean oil and soybean meal used in the food, animal feed and biofuel industries.
Soybeans comprised, 10.6%, 5.2%, and 5.5% of our total consolidated sales in 2018, 2019, and 2020 respectively.
Corn
Corn is a cereal grown around the world and is one of the world’s most widely consumed foods. The main component of corn grain is starch (72% to 73% of grain weight), followed by proteins (8% to 11%). Corn grain is directly used for food and animal feed (beef, swine and poultry meat production and dairy). Corn is also processed to make food and feed ingredients (such as high fructose corn syrup, corn starch and lysine), or industrial products such as ethanol and polylactic acid (PLA). Oil,
70

flour and sugar are also extracted from corn, with several uses in the food, medicine and cosmetic industries. Additionally, there are specific corn types used for direct human consumption such as popcorn and sweet corn.
Corn comprised 4.8% of our consolidated sales in 2018, 6.9% of our consolidated sales in 2019, and 5.5% of our consolidated sales in 2020.
Wheat
Wheat is the world’s largest cereal-grass crop. Unlike other cereals, wheat grain contains a high amount of gluten, the protein that provides the elasticity necessary for excellent bread making. Although most wheat is grown for human consumption, other industries use small quantities to produce starch, paste, malt, dextrose, gluten, alcohol, and other products. Inferior and surplus wheat and various milling by products are used for livestock feed. We sell wheat to exporters and to local mills that produce flour for the food industry.
Wheat comprised 4.1% of our total consolidated sales in 2018, 2.3% of our total consolidated sales in 2019, and 1.8% of our total consolidated sales in 2020.
Sunflower
There are two types of sunflower, the most important in terms of volume being the oilseed sunflower, which is primarily grown for the oil extracted from the seed. Sunflower oil is considered one of the top three oils for human consumption, due to its high oil content (39-49%) and its oil composition (90% of oleic and linoleic oil). The other type of sunflower is the confectionary sunflower, which is used for direct human consumption. Sunflower seeds are an exceptional source of vitamin E, omega-6 fatty acids, dietary fiber and minerals. We grow both types of sunflower.
Sunflower comprised 0.2% of our total consolidated sales in 2018, 1.0% in 2019, and 1.3% in 2020.
Since early 2019, we operate a sunflower processing facility located in Buenos Aires province, Argentina. This enables us to control processing activities and develop direct and long term relationships with different customers around the world.
Peanut
Peanut is a summer legume which has its harvesting process divided in two stages: (1) digging, which implies loosening the plant, cutting the taproot and inverting the plant; and (2) combining which means separating the pods from the vines. Planting activities begin in October and approximately 150 days after planting, digging activities take place. In Argentina all the peanut grown is high oleic. Córdoba province is Argentina's largest peanut production area due to its optimal agroclimatic conditions, which have led many processing industries to install there.
Argentina is positioned among the most important players in the production and export of this crop, with high technological levels both in terms of production as well as processing. Argentina exports more than 90% of the peanuts it produces and its main market is the European Union, followed by Russia and Latin America. Its main competitors are USA, Brazil and China. We grow peanut in the center region of Argentina.
Peanut comprised 0.2% of our total consolidated sales in 2018, 3.3% of our total consolidated sales in 2019 and 5.7% of our total consolidated sales in 2020.
Since early 2019, we own and operate a peanut processing facility equipped with cutting-edge technology, which has been granted all the necessary certifications and export permits. This vertical integration is in line with our strategy to grow our peanut business as it enables us to control processing activities and develop direct and long term relations with different customers around the world.
Forages
In addition to the above mentioned crops, we are engaged in the production of forage in Argentina, including corn silage, wheat silage and sorghum silage. We use forage as cow feed in our dairy operation. During the 2019/2020 harvest year, we planted 6,758 hectares of forage and produced 226,821 tons of forage.
71

Crop Production Process
Our crop production process is directly linked to the geo-climatic conditions of our farms and our crop cycles, which define the periods for planting and harvesting our various products. Our crop diversification and the location of our farms in various regions of South America enable us to implement an efficient planting and harvesting system throughout the year, which includes second harvests in many cases. Our production process begins with the planting of each crop. After harvesting, crops may go through a processing phase where the grain or seeds are cleaned and dried to reach the required market standards.
For additional discussion of our harvest years and the presentation of production and product area information in this annual report, see “Presentation of Financial and Other Information-Fiscal Year and Harvest Year.”
Rice Business
Rice is the main food staple for about half of the world’s population. Although it is cultivated in over 100 countries and on almost every continent, 90% of the world’s rice is grown and consumed in Asia. Globally, rice is the most important crop in terms of its contribution to human diets and production value. There are three main types of rice: short grain, medium grain and long grain rice. Each one has a different taste and texture. We produce long grain rice and Carolina double rice, a variety of medium grain rice.
We conduct our rice operation in the northeast of Argentina, which is one of the most efficient locations in the world for producing rice at a low cost. This is a result of optimum natural agronomic conditions, including plentiful sunlight, abundant availability of water for low cost irrigation and large quantities of land. The use of public water for artificial irrigation is governed by provincial regulations and is subject to the granting of governmental permits. We currently have permits for the use of water in our production of rice in the provinces of Corrientes and Santa Fe. Maintenance of our permits is subject to our compliance with applicable laws and regulations, which is supervised by the corresponding governmental authority (e.g., the Ministry of Water, Public Services and Environment (Ministerio de Agua, Servicios Publicos y Medio Ambiente), in the province of Santa Fe, and the Water Institute of the Province of Corrientes (Instituto Correntino del Agua).
The following table sets forth, for the harvest years indicated, the total number of planted rice hectares we owned and leased as well as the overall rough rice we produced:

(1) As of the date of this annual report, the harvest of rice pertaining to the 2020/2021 harvest year is ongoing.
We grow rice on four farms we own and two farms we lease, all located in Argentina. In the 2017/2018 harvest year, we planted a total area of approximately 40,289 hectares of rice, producing a total of 276,693 tons, representing 17% of our total planted area that year, and 34% of our total farming production. In the 2018/2019 harvest year, we planted a total area of approximately 39,308 hectares of rice, producing a total of 239,779 tons, representing 17% of our total planted area that year, and 27% of our total farming production. In the 2019/2020 harvest year, we planted a total area of approximately 41,544 hectares of rice, producing a total of 278,348 tons, representing 17% of our total planted area that year, and 28% of our total farming production. In the current 2020/2021 harvest year, we planted a total of 44,282 hectares of rice, which have not been fully harvested as of the date of this report.
Rice Production Process
The rice production cycle lasts approximately five to six months, beginning in September of each year and ending in April of the following year. Rice planting continues until November, followed by treatment of the rice, which lasts approximately three months, until January. In February we begin harvesting, which lasts until April. After harvesting, the rice is ready for processing.
We process rice in our three rice mills in Argentina, where we are able to process our entire rice crop and utilize our excess milling capacity to process rough rice we purchase from third party growers.
72

At the mill, we clean the rice to remove all impurities. We then put it through a dryer to remove excess moisture from the grains. Proper drying results in increased storage life, prevents deterioration in quality and leads to optimum milling. Once dried, the rice grain, now known as rough rice or paddy rice, is ready for storage. We store rice in elevators or in silo bags until milling. During the milling process, the rough rice goes through a de-husking machine that removes the husk from the kernel. The rice that is obtained after this process is known as brown rice and is ready for human consumption. Brown rice becomes white rice after it is polished to remove the excess bran.
The main objective of the milling process is to remove the husk and the bran, preserving the quality of the whole grain. Although the process is highly automated and uses advanced technology, some rice grains are broken in the process. The percentage of broken rice depends on a number of factors such as the crop development cycle at the farm, the variety of the grain, the handling and the industrial process. Average processing of rough rice results in 58.5% white rice, 13.0% broken rice and 20.0% rice husk and 8.5% bran which is sold for use as cattle feed or floor bedding in the poultry business.

Rice Seed Production
In our rice seed facility in Argentina, we are involved in the genetic development of new rice varieties adapted to local conditions to increase rice productivity and quality to improve both farm production as well as the manufacturing process. In connection with these efforts, we have entered into agreements with selected research and development institutions such as the National Institute of Agriculture Technology (Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria, or “INTA”) in Argentina, the Instituto Riograndense do Arroz or "IRGA " in Brazil, the Híbridos de Arroz para América Latina or "HIAA" in Colombia, the Latin American Fund for Irrigated Rice (Fondo Latinoamericano para Arroz de Riego, or “FLAR”) in Colombia, the Santa Catarina State Agricultural Research and Rural Extension Agency (Empresa de pesquisa Agropecuária e Extensão Rural de Santa Catarina, or “EPAGRI”) in Brazil and Badische Anilin- und Soda-Fabrik (“Basf”) in Germany. Our own technical team is continuously testing and developing new rice varieties. Our first rice seed variety, Ita Caabo 105, was released to the market in 2008. In 2011 we released our second variety Ita Caabo 110, and at the beginning of 2014 we released our third variety, Ita Caabo 107. We are currently experimenting with a wide range of varieties to continue improving our productivity in addition to the development of a hybrid line. These seeds are both used at our farms and sold to rice farmers in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay. We are also developing, alongside Basf, a herbicide-tolerant rice variety to assist in the control of harmful weeds.
Dairy Business
We conduct our dairy operation in our farms located in the Argentine humid pampas region. This region is one of the best places in the world for producing raw milk at a low cost, due to the availability of grains and forages produced efficiently and at low cost, and due to the favorable weather for cow comfort and productivity. Our dairy operation consists of three free-stall dairy facilities with an occupancy of 11,477 milking cows as of December 2020, and a total capacity of 11,104. The high occupancy rate did not affect productivity as we have taken special care in providing comfort and welfare to our herd.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated below, the total number of our dairy cows, average daily milk production per cow and our total milk production:

Dairy comprised 3.7% of our total consolidated sales in 2018, 9.4% for 2019 and 16.3% for 2020 respectively.
Our three free-stall dairies are fully ramped-up and delivering high productivity levels. During 2020 we started the construction of our fourth free-stall, which was finalized in February 2021. Once our four free-stalls are fully operative, we will be able to double our production capacity, reaching over 185 million liters of fluid milk per year and over 14 thousand total milking cows. We believe this investment is a unique opportunity to leverage on Argentina’s competitive advantages in transforming vegetable protein into milk protein, on our operational expertise and on the positive outlook for global and local milk prices.
We own two milk processing facilities which had been acquired from SanCor Cooperativas Unidas Limitadas on February 2019, in addition to “Las Tres Niñas” and “Angelita” trademarks, both of which are well-known in Argentina and represent a solid commercialization vehicle for retail and consumer dairy products. Our milk facilities produce UHT and UP milk, powder milk and semi-hard cheese, among others. Our facilities have a total installed reception capacity of 2.4 million liters per day and an installed processing capacity of 1.7 million liters of raw milk per day. In order to account for the difference between total installed capacity and actual utilization it is necessary to account for the machine's efficiency rate, maintenance works, number of working days and number of personnel shifts, among other variables. We completed 2020 with 297.6 million liters of raw milk processed.
Chivilcoy industrial facility is located in the city of Chivilcoy, Province of Buenos Aires, and is primarily focused on fluid milk production for the domestic market. It has an installed processing capacity of 870 thousand liters per day and an installed milk reception capacity of 1.2 million liters per day. The facility has an installed processing capacity of 600 thousand liters of UHT milk, 155 thousand liters of UP milk and 115 thousand liters of yogurt. We completed 2020 with 115.1 million liters of raw milk processed in Chivilcoy facility.
Morteros industrial facility is located in the city of Morteros, Province of Córdoba, and produces powder milk and semi-hard cheese mainly for the export market. Morteros plant has an installed processing capacity of 840 thousand liters per day, 550 thousand correspond to milk powder and 290 thousand to cheese, and it has an installed milk reception capacity of 1.2 million liters per day. We concluded 2020 with 182.6 million liters of raw milk processed in Morteros facility.
Dairy Production Process
We wean calves during the 24 hours subsequent to birth and during the next 60 days raise them on pasteurized milk and high protein meal. Male calves are fed concentrates and hay for an additional 3 months in the farm before they are sent to our feedlot or to third party feedlots to be fattened for sale. Young heifers remain in open corrals during the next 13 months where they are fed with concentrates and forage until they are ready for breeding. Calving occurs nine months later. Heifers are subsequently milked for an average of 320 days. Dairy cows are once again inseminated during the 42- to 90-day period following calving. This process is repeated once a year for a period of three or four years. The pregnancy rate for our herd is between 85% and 90% per year.
Each cow in our dairy herd is mechanically milked three times a day. The milk obtained is cooled to less than four degrees centigrade in order to preserve its quality and is then stored in a tank, or directly loaded to trucks which derives in increased quality and lower costs. Milk is delivered mainly to our processing facilities and the balance is sold to large third party milk processing facilities on a daily basis by tank trucks. We feed our dairy cows mainly with corn and alfalfa silages, some grass and corn grain, supplemented as needed with soybean by-products, hay, vitamins and minerals.

We have invested in technology to improve the genetics of our cows, animal health and feeding in order to enhance our milk production. These investments include top quality imported semen from genetically improved North American Holstein bulls, agricultural machinery and devices, use of dietary supplements and modern equipment to control individual milk production and cooling. Our feeding program is focused on high conversion of feed into milk, while maintaining cows in good health and comfort. We have also invested in technology and know-how so as to increase our forage production and utilization.
Implementation of the free-stall system allows us to position ourselves as a key player in the dairy industry and boost our agricultural and industrial integration presence in the South American agricultural sector. By eliminating cow grazing, we reduced the amount of land utilized for milk production, which freed up more land for our agricultural and land development activities. Cow productivity (measured in liters of milk produced per day) using the free-stall system increases by up to 40% compared to traditional grazing systems. These productivity gains are because the free-stall system significantly improves the conversion rate of animal feed to milk, resulting in an approximate 40% increase in the conversion ratio, or the production of 1.4 liters of milk for each 1 kg of animal feed as compared to the average of 1 liter of milk for each 1 kg of feed associated with the usual grazing model.
This increased productivity and conversion rate are mainly due to improved cow comfort and an enhanced diet quality. We assess cow comfort through the engagement of expert consultants, who recommended designing beds covered with sand. The sand plays a significant role in helping cows to rest comfortably. Additionally, we installed a cooling system to increase cow comfort as well. This system relies on water sprinklers and ventilation fans located all over the facility to create a controlled, cool atmosphere, which improves cow comfort as the Holstein herd is originally adapted to cold regions. Additionally, we manage diet quality by adapting our feeding regime based on the various feeding stages in the lifetime of each cow. The actual feeding is fully mechanized, and we carefully control the harvesting and storage of feed. The control of all productivity variables, such as reproduction, health and operations, supports efficiency gains through standardized processes. Finally, the physical concentration of the animals facilitates efficient overall management of the dairy business as a whole. In terms of the environment, the free-stall model allows for a better effluent treatment, which includes a sand-manure separator stage, a decantation pool and an anaerobic lagoon. All these processes help to decrease the organic matter content of the effluent and deliver a cleaner output. The final treated effluent is used to fert-irrigate crops adjacent to the dairy operation. Accordingly, we transform dairy waste into a high value-added by-product, which reduces fertilizer usage.
During October, 2017 we completed the construction of our first bio-digester. This facility enhances the sustainability of our free-stall dairy operation by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving the effluent management and concentrating valuable nutrients which are applied back to the fields. It generates electricity by burning biogas extracted from the effluents produced by our milking cows. On November 3, 2017, we began generating and delivering 1.4 MW of electricity to the local power grid. In addition to enhancing in the sustainability of our diary operation, it increases revenues and secures our energy requirements.
All Other Segments
All Other Segments primarily encompasses our cattle business. Our cattle segment consists of pasture land that is not suitable for crop production due to soil quality and is leased to third parties for cattle grazing activities.
We currently own 54,450 hectares of cattle grazing land located in the Argentine provinces of Corrientes, Santa Fe, Formosa and Santiago del Estero. In 2020, we entered into new lease agreements with third party cattle farmers for a total area of 12,735 hectares.
Storage and Conditioning for the Farming Business
Our storage and conditioning facilities in the farming business allow us to condition, store and deliver our products with no third-party involvement. All our crop storage facilities are located close to our farms, allowing us to (i) reduce storage and conditioning costs; (ii) reduce freight costs since we only commence moving the product once the final destination is determined, whether locally or to a port, (iii) capitalize on fluctuations in the prices of commodities; and (iv) improve commercial performance by mixing grains to avoid discounts due to sub-standard quality.
We own two conditioning and storage facilities for grains and oilseeds, with a total built storage capacity of 38,740 tons. One of our facilities has a capacity of 19,240 tons and is located in the province of Santa Fe, Argentina, in the town of Christophersen. It has a railway loading terminal, providing logistical flexibility and savings. Our other facility is located in Buenos Aires province close to Bahía Blanca’s deep water port, in an area where we produce 120,000 tons of grains. In addition, our peanut processing facility has the capacity to store 7,500 tons of finished product (and 50,000 of inshell), while
75

our sunflower processing facility has the capacity to store 4,000 tons of sunflower. We also own in Argentina three rice mills, which account for over 112,500 tons of total storage capacity, and one additional conditioning facility for rice handling, with a total storage capacity of 6,300 tons.
Set forth below is our storage capacity as of December 31, 2020:

Storage Capacity |  | Nominal
Crops (tons) (1) |  | 50,240 |
Rice (tons) |  | 118,800 |
Dairy (liters) (2) |  | 25,800,000 |

(1) Includes 38,740 tons corresponding to our two conditioning and storage facilities, 7,500 tons to our peanut facility and 4,000 tons to our sunflower facility.
(2) Morteros facility accounts for 24.3 million liters of fluid milk (equivalent to 2,500 tons of milk powder and 360 tons of cheese) while Chivilcoy accounts for 1.5 million liters of fluid milk.
In addition, we use silo bags to increase our storage capacity at low cost. Silo bags are an efficient low-cost method for grain storage. As crops are harvested, they are placed inside large polyethylene bags that can be left in the fields for approximately 12 months without damaging the grain. Each silo bag can hold up to 180 to 200 tons of product, depending on the type of grain. During the 2019/2020 harvest year, we stored approximately 50% of our grain production through silo bags.
Silo bags offer important operational and logistic advantages, such as (i) low cost storage; (ii) flexible and scalable capacity that is adapted based on production and commercial strategy; (iii) harvest efficiencies since the bags are filled on the field allowing for a non-stop harvest operation regardless of any logistical setbacks; (iv) logistic efficiencies leading to lower freight since grains are transported during the off-season when truck fares are lower; (v) increased ability to monitor quality and identify different grain qualities, since grains are stored in relatively small amounts (200 tons) and easily monitored, maximizing our commercial performance; and (vi) better use of our drying capacity throughout the year. Silo bags are commercially accepted. Grains stored in silo bags can be sold in the market, and if such grains are to be delivered post-harvest, we charge storage costs. Additionally, we can store grains to be used as seed during the following season (soybeans, rice and wheat), achieving quality seed management. We have expanded the use of silo bags from Argentina to our operations in Brazil and Uruguay.
Grain conditioning facilities at our farms allow our trade desk to optimize commercialization costs and to achieve commercial quality standards and avoid price discounts. These facilities are operated to dry, clean, mix and separate different qualities of each grain in order to achieve commercial standards. By mixing different batches of a same grain type, differentiated by quality parameters such as moisture, percentage broken, and percentage damaged, among others, we can achieve commercial standards without having to discount a lower-quality stand-alone batch. Efficient management of these facilities results in a lower cost for grain conditioning and a better achievable price.
Set forth below is our drying capacity as of December 31, 2020:

Drying Capacity |  | Nominal
Crops (tons/day) (1) |  | 9,925 |
Rice (tons/day) |  | 6,850 |

(1) Includes the drying capacity corresponding to our two grain conditioning and storage facilities, our peanut processing facility and our sunflower processing facility.
Some grains such as soybeans, wheat and rice, can be used for seed during the next planting season. We produce almost 97% of the seed used for planting these crops in our fields. The seed is stored in silo bags and/or grain facilities, where it can be processed, classified, and prepared for planting during next crop season. A deep survey and monitoring process is carried out in order to evaluate, control and deliver high quality seed to our farms.
The rest of our seed requirements are purchased from seed suppliers in order to incorporate new enhanced varieties into our planting plan.

Marketing, Sales and Distribution for the Farming Business
Crops
In Argentina, grain prices are based on the market prices quoted on Argentine grain exchanges, such as the Bolsa de Cereales de Buenos Aires and the Bolsa de Cereales de Rosario, which use as a reference the prevailing prices in international grain exchanges (including CBOT and ICE-NY). In Uruguay, local prices are based on an export parity (during harvest) or import parity in the case of post-harvest sales, which, in each case, take into account the prices and costs associated with each market. In Brazil, the grain market includes the Bolsa de Mercadorias e Futuros (Brazilian Grain Exchange), which, as in Argentina, uses as a price reference the international grain exchanges (including CBOT and ICE-NY). Prices are quoted in relation to the month of delivery and the port in which the product is to be delivered. Different conditions in price, such as terms of storage and shipment, are negotiated between us and the end buyer. We negotiate sales with the top traders and industrial companies in our markets. We also engage in hedging positions by buying and selling futures and options in commodities exchanges, including the Chicago Board of Trade, the New York Board of Trade, BMF&FBOVESPA Exchange and the Mercado a Té rmino de Buenos Aires (MATBA).
Soybeans
Our soybean crop is sold to local companies and is ultimately exported or diverted to the crushing industry. Approximately 29% of the soybean crop was hedged pre-harvest, by forward sales and sales in the futures markets. Harvest and post-harvest sales are a function of the export market versus local premiums paid by crushers (oil, meal and biodiesel) and logistics considerations. Our five largest customers comprised approximately 79% of our sales in the year ended December 31, 2020.
Corn
Our production is mainly destined to the export market. Our five largest customers comprised approximately 70% of our sales in the year ended December 31, 2020.
Wheat
Our wheat production is mainly destined to export industry. Quality segregation allows us to negotiate premiums with the millers and export market. Brazil is the main importer of Argentine wheat. Our five largest customers comprised approximately 74% of our sales in the year ended December 31, 2020.
Sunflower
Our sunflower production from Argentina is sold to local companies. Sales are made pursuant by production agreements of sunflower for confectionary, high oil content sunflower and seed. Our two largest customers (Bunge Argentina and Molinos Agro) comprised 100% of our sales in the year ended December 31, 2020.
Peanut
Approximately 90% of our peanut production is exported. Our ten largest customers comprised approximately 65% of our sales in the year ended December 31, 2020, while the European Union was the destination for over 90% of our sales.
Cotton
We typically make pre-harvest sales of cotton fiber produced in Argentina into the export market. Sales for the textile industry are based on domestic demand and premiums. Our two largest customers comprised approximately 100% of our sales in the year ended December 31, 2020. Cotton seed is sold in the domestic market to meet feed demand.
We sell manufactured and agricultural products to a large base of customers. The type and class of customers may differ depending on our business segments, regions and some logistics issues that are very important in our decision making. For the year ended December 31, 2020 more than 89% of our sales of crops were sold to 10 well-known customers, both multinational or local. Of these customers, the first four cases represented almost 63% of our sales and the remaining six represented approximately 26% of our net sales in the course of that year.
Rice
Rough rice is available for sale commencing after the harvest of each year. White rice availability is based on our milling capacity. 72% of our total rice production is sold into the export market, with the remainder sold in Argentina in the retail market. We export approximately 36% of our exported volume to Brazil, 30% to the European Union; and the balance to the Middle East, other Latin American countries, Central America and Africa. We sell approximately 28% of our rice in the Argentine retail market through three brands we own that have a 18% market share. Local rice prices are driven by regional supply demand and other world export prices. Our five largest customers for rice comprised approximately 50% of our sales in the year ended December 31, 2020.
77

Dairy
During 2020, 67% of our raw milk production was destined to our processing facilities while the majority of the balance was sold to one dairy producer. We negotiate the price of raw milk on a monthly basis in accordance with domestic supply and demand. The price of the milk we sell is mainly based on the percentage of fat and protein that it contains and the temperature at which it is cooled. The price we obtain for our milk also rises or falls based on the content of bacteria and somatic cells. We are one of the top ten dairy processors in Argentina, considering our free-stall production of over 400 thousand liters per day and the raw milk we source from 130 farmers (110 in Morteros and 20 in Chivilcoy).
Sugar, Ethanol and Energy Business
Sugarcane
Sugarcane is the most efficient agricultural raw material used in the production of sugar and ethanol. Ethanol produced from sugarcane is highly regarded as an environmentally friendly biofuel with the following characteristics.
Renewable: Sugarcane ethanol, unlike coal or oil, which can be depleted, is produced from sugarcane plants that grow back year after year, provided that they are replanted every five to seven years.
Sustainable: Sugarcane only needs to be replanted every five to seven years, as a semi-perennial crop. It can be harvested without uprooting the plant, and therefore its cultivation has less of an impact on the soil and the surrounding environment. The mechanization of the harvesting and planting process further improves sustainable agricultural management.
Energy Efficient: Sugarcane is highly efficient in converting sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into stored energy. The energy output of sugarcane is equal to nine times the energy input used in the production process, whereas the energy output of corn ethanol is only about 1.9 to 2.3 times the energy input used in its production process. Sugarcane produces seven times more energy compared to corn used for ethanol production.
Low Carbon Emissions: Compared to gasoline, sugarcane ethanol reduces greenhouse gases by more than 61%, which is the greatest reduction of any other liquid biofuel produced today in large quantities. Ethanol made from sugarcane is deemed an advanced biofuel by the United States EPA.
Synergies: The main raw material used in the production of electricity in sugar mills is bagasse, which is a by-product of the sugarcane milling process, allowing for a renewable source of co-generated electricity.
Sugarcane is a tropical grass that grows best in locations with stable, warm temperatures and high humidity, although cold and dry winters are an important factor for the sucrose concentration of sugarcane. The climate and topography of the center-south region of Brazil is ideal for the cultivation of sugarcane and accounts for approximately 85% of Brazil’s sugarcane production.
As of December 31, 2020, our sugarcane plantations consisted of 176,651 hectares of sugarcane planted in Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Approximately 94% of our sugarcane is planted over land leased through agricultural partnerships. Under these agreements, our partners lease land to us for periods of between one and two sugarcane cycles, equivalent to periods of between 7 to 14 years, on which we cultivate the sugarcane. Lease payments are based on the market value of the sugarcane set forth by the regulations of the State of Sao Paulo Sugarcane, Sugar and Alcohol Growers Counsel (Conselho dos Produtores de Cana-de-Açúcar, Açúcar e Álcool do Estado de Sao Paulo, or “Consecana”). We planted and harvested approximately 94% of the total sugarcane we milled during 2020, with the remaining 6% purchased directly from third parties at prices also determined by the Consecana system, based on the sucrose content of the cane and the prices of sugar and ethanol. The following table sets forth a breakdown during the time periods indicated of the amount of sugarcane we milled that was grown on our owned and leased land or purchased from third parties:

|  | Year Ended December 31,
|  | 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
|  | (In tons)
Grown on our owned and leased land |  | 10,464,893 |  | 10,411,801 |  | 10,748,091
Purchased from third parties |  | 638,307 |  | 433,335 |  | 611,112
Total |  | 11,103,200 |  | 10,845,136 |  | 11,359,204

Sugarcane Harvesting Cycle
The annual sugarcane harvesting period in the center-south region of Brazil begins in April and ends in November/December of each year. In Mato Grosso do Sul, where our cluster is located, the weather pattern is less seasonal than in Sao Paulo. Our wet season is dryer and our dry season is more humid than traditional sugarcane regions. As a consequence of this weather pattern, the sugar content (TRS) gap between the beginning and the end of the year compared to the peak of the harvest is much smaller than in Sao Paulo. This allows us to grow and harvest sugarcane year round with a minimal impact on sugar content (TRS).
Since the beginning of the 2016/17 harvest year we implemented a “non-stop” or “continuous harvest”. This means that we will harvest and crush sugarcane year-round, without stopping during the traditional off-season. This new strategy allows us to increase annual sugarcane milling and sugar, ethanol and energy production by approximately 10%. Another benefit of the system is that we produce ethanol in the off-season, when market prices usually have a high premium to prices at harvest. In addition, cogeneration efficiency is related to harvested volumes and unrelated to TRS, enabling us to utilize our cogeneration potential during the whole year. Considering that approximately 87% of total costs are fixed, this model resulted not only in higher revenues but also in the dilution of our fixed costs.
We plant several sugarcane varieties, depending on the quality of the soil, the local microclimate and the estimated date of harvest of such area. Once planted, sugarcane can be harvested, once a year, up to six to eight consecutive years. With each subsequent harvest, agricultural yields decrease. The plantations must be carefully managed and treated during the year in order to continue to attain sugar yields similar to a newly-planted crop.
We believe we own one of the most mechanized harvesting operations in Brazil. Our sugarcane harvesting process is currently 99% mechanized (100% at Angélica and Ivinhema mills and 94% at UMA mill) and the remaining 1% is harvested manually. Mechanized harvesting does not require burning prior to harvesting, significantly reducing environmental impact when compared to manual harvesting. In addition, the leaves that remain on the fields after the sugarcane has been harvested mechanically create a protective cover for the soil, reducing evaporation and protecting it from sunlight and erosion. This protective cover of leaves decomposes into organic material over time, which increases the fertility of the soil. Mechanized harvesting is more time efficient and has lower costs when compared to manual harvesting. Sugarcane is ready for harvesting when the crop’s sucrose content is at its highest level. Sucrose content and sugarcane yield (tons of cane per hectare) are important measures of productivity for our harvesting operations. Geographical factors, such as soil quality, topography and climate, as well as agricultural techniques that we implement, affect our productivity. Since most sugar mills produce both sugar and ethanol in variable mixes, the industry has adopted a conversion index for measuring sugar and ethanol production capacity, the Total Recoverable Sugar (“TRS”) index, which measures the amount of kilograms of sugar per ton of sugarcane.
During the 2020 harvest, our mills harvested sugarcane with an average TRS content of 132 kg/ton and an average yield of 79 tons of sugarcane per hectare, compared to 133 kg/ton and 76 tons per hectare in 2019, respectively.
Once the sugarcane is harvested, it is transported to our mills for inspection and weighing. We utilize our own trucks and trailers for transportation purposes. The average transportation distance from the sugarcane fields to the mills is approximately 28 kilometers at UMA and 33 kilometers at Angélica and Ivinhema.
Our Sugar Mills
We currently own three sugar mills in Brazil, UMA, Angélica and Ivinhema. Our mills produce sugar, ethanol and energy, and have the flexibility to adjust the production mix between sugar and ethanol, to take advantage of more favorable market demand and prices at given points in time. As of December 31, 2020, our sugar mills had a total installed crushing capacity of 14.2 million tons of sugarcane, of which 13.0 million tons correspond to our sugarcane cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. As of December 31, 2020, we concluded the 2020 harvest crushing an aggregate volume of 11.1 million tons of sugarcane.
The Usina Monte Alegre mill (“UMA”) is located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and has a sugarcane crushing capacity of 1.2 million tons per year, full cogeneration capacity and an associated sugar brand with strong presence in the regional retail market (Açúcar Monte Alegre). UMA is also engaged in the production of organic sugar and during 2020 it exported the product for the first time, after having received the necessary certification to export organic sugar to the European Union. We plant and harvest 99.7% of the sugarcane milled at UMA, with the remaining 0.3% acquired from third parties. UMA concluded its harvest operations for the 2020 season crushing 1.1 million tons of sugarcane.
79

Angélica is an advanced mill, completed in 2010 and located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, with a total sugarcane crushing capacity of 5.6 million tons per year. The mill is equipped with two modern high pressure boilers and three turbo-generators with the capacity to generate approximately 105 MW of electricity through the use of sugarcane bagasse. The energy produced through this process is used to power the mill with an excess of 70MW available for sale to the power grid. Angélica has the flexibility to vary production between ethanol and sugar from 60% to 40% for either product.
Our third mill, Ivinhema, is located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, approximately 45 kilometers south of our existing Angelica mill, completing our planned sugarcane cluster in that region. The mill is equipped with state-of-the-art technology including full cogeneration capacity, flexibility to produce sugar and ethanol and fully mechanized agricultural operations. Ivinhema has capacity to produce up to 362,520 tons of sugar, 362,520 cubic meters of ethanol and 612,000 MWh of energy exports.

Sugar
As of December 31, 2020 our sugar production capacity was approximately 3,550 tons per day which, in a normal year of 15,993 hours of milling, results in an annual sugar maximum production capacity of over 803,621 tons of sugar. The increased capacity is the result of enhanced operational efficiencies and minimum CapEx investments.
We produce three types of sugar: organic sugar, very high polarization (“VHP”) standard raw sugar and white crystal sugar. VHP sugar, a raw sugar with a minimum polarization of 99.00 degrees and a maximum polarization of 99.49 degrees of sucrose content, is similar to the type of sugar traded in major commodities exchanges, including the standard NY11 contract. The main difference between VHP sugar and NY11 raw sugar is the sugar content of VHP sugar, and it therefore commands a price premium over NY11 raw sugar. Crystal sugar is a non-refined white sugar (color 150 ICUMSA) produced directly from sugarcane juice.
Sugar sales comprised 16.2%, 11.0% and 20.9% of our total consolidated sales in 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.
Sugar Production Process
There are essentially five steps in the sugar manufacturing process. First, we crush the sugarcane to extract the sugarcane juice. We then treat the juice to remove impurities. The residue is used to make an organic compost used as fertilizer in our sugarcane fields. The juice is then boiled until the sugar crystallizes, and sugar is then separated from the molasses
80

(glucose which does not crystallize) by centrifugation. The resulting sugar is dried and sent to storage and/or packaging. We use the molasses in our production of ethanol.
Ethanol
As of December 2020, our ethanol production capacity was approximately 3,200 cubic meters per day which, in a normal year of 15,993 hours of milling, results in maximum annual production capacity of over 730,640 cubic meters of ethanol. The increased capacity is the result of enhanced operational efficiencies and minimum CapEx investments.
We produce and sell two different types of ethanol: hydrous ethanol and anhydrous ethanol (as further described in “Production Process-Ethanol”). Ethanol sales comprised 40.9% of our total consolidated sales in 2018, 42.1% of our total consolidated sales in 2019 and 24.3% of our total consolidated sales in 2020.
Since 2020 as part of the RenovaBio program, every time we sell ethanol we have the right to issue and sell carbon credits, which are traded on Brazil’s B3 platform. The number of carbon credits that are issued are determined by the score granted by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas & Biofuels (ANP) based on how “green” the mill operation is deemed to be. During 2020 we sold 492 thousand CBios at an average price of 40.9 BRL/CBio (approximately 7.5 USD/CBio). Please see "Our Company- 2. Sugar, Ethanol and Energy Business" above.
Ethanol Production Process
Ethanol is produced through the fermentation of sugarcane juice or diluted molasses. Initially, we process the sugarcane used in ethanol production the same way that we process it for sugar production. The molasses resulting from this process is mixed with clear juice and then with yeast in fermentation vats, and the resulting wine has an ethanol content of approximately 8% to 10%. After the fermentation is complete, the yeast is separated for recycling in the ethanol production process. We distill the wine to obtain hydrous ethanol. In order to produce anhydrous ethanol, hydrous ethanol undergoes a dehydration process in a molecular sieve. The liquid remaining after these processes is called vinasse, which we further process to make liquid organic fertilizer that we use in our sugarcane plantations.
Cogeneration
We generate electricity from sugarcane bagasse (the fiber portion of sugarcane that remains after the extraction of sugarcane juice) in our three mills located in Brazil. As of December 31, 2020, total installed cogeneration capacity reached 241MW, of which 167MW are available for resale to third parties after supplying our mills’ energy requirements. The ability to generate electricity from the by-product of the sugarcane crushing process on a large enough scale to fully power a mill with excess electricity being available is referred to as having full cogeneration capacity. Our three mills are duly licensed by the Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (“ANEEL”) to generate and sell electricity.
Cogeneration Production Process
Sugarcane is composed of water, fibers, sucrose and other sugars and minerals. When the sugarcane goes through the milling process, we separate the water, sugar and minerals from the fibers or sugarcane bagasse. Bagasse is an important sub-product of sugarcane, and it is used as fuel for the boilers in our mills. Sugarcane bagasse is burned in our state-of-the-art boilers to produce high pressure steam (68 atm) which is used in our high-efficiency turbo-generators to generate electricity to power our mills. The excess electricity, about 72% of production, is sold to the national power grid.
81

The following flow chart demonstrates the sugar, ethanol and cogeneration production process:
The main advantages of energy generated by sugarcane bagasse are:
•It is a clean and renewable energy;
•It complements hydropower, the main source of Brazilian energy, as it is generated during the sugarcane harvest period (April to December) when water reservoirs are at their lowest level;
•It requires a short period of time to start operations; and
•It requires only a small investment in transmission lines when plants are located close to consumer centers.
As of December 2020, our total installed cogeneration capacity at our cluster and UMA mill was 225MW and 16MW respectively, of which 155MW and 12MW are available to sell to the market.
We believe that there is a high potential for growth in the generation of electricity, and we are prepared to make investments to the extent economically viable.
Storage and Conditioning for the Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business
Our sugar and ethanol storage and conditioning facilities are located at our mill sites and allow us to deliver our products when they are ready to be commercialized with no third-party involvement. Having such facilities at mill sites allows us to (i) reduce storage and conditioning costs; (ii) reduce freight costs since we only commence moving the product once the final destination is determined, whether locally or to a port; and (iii) capitalize on fluctuations in the prices of sugar and ethanol.

Nominal Storage Capacity |  | Cluster |  | UMA |  | Total
Ethanol (cubic meters) |  | 240,000 |  |  | 27,000 |  |  | 267,000 |
Sugar (tons) (1) |  | 110,000 |  |  | 19,100 |  |  | 129,100 |

(1) Additionally, we lease an inflatable store which adds a capacity of 8,000 tons of sugar to our UMA mill.

Marketing, Sales and Distribution for the Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business
Sugar: We sell sugar both in the domestic and the international markets. The domestic sales are processed by our own brand called “Monte Alegre”, which is established in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, under which we sell traditional and organic sugar, allowing us to have a competitive advantage amongst our peers. Prices for the sugar we export are set in accordance with international market prices, which are in turn determined in accordance with the ICE # 11 futures contracts. For the fiscal period ended on December 31, 2020 our largest five customers in this segment comprised approximately 90% of our sales. The remaining 10% was dispersed among several customers.
Ethanol: Almost all of our ethanol sales are in the domestic Brazilian market given the increasing demand generated from the increase in flex-fuel vehicles in Brazil and better ethanol parity at the gas stations. Around 48% of our ethanol sales are made through formal agreements. The remaining volumes are sold through daily sale orders through specialized brokerage firms or directly with distribution companies and the prices for these transactions are set using the CEPEA/ESALQ hydrous ethanol index as a reference. Our largest five customers by volume comprised approximately 84% of our sales in the period ended December 31, 2020.
Cogeneration:We also sell electricity co-generated at our sugar and ethanol mills to the grid. Sales are made to commercialization companies, in the spot market, to distributors and through government auctions in long- term contracts. Our largest six customers comprised 65% of our sales revenues in the period ended December 31, 2020.
The Brazilian energy agency, ANEEL, has organized yearly auctions for alternative energy and for renewable sources at favored rates. As a hedging strategy, we sell the electricity production of our mills through long-term contracts adjusted for inflation by reference to the National Index of Consumer Prices (“IPCA”).
In 2009, Angélica sold energy in a public auction carried out by Camara de Comercialização de Energia Elétrica (“CCEE”), Angélica entered into a 15-year agreement with CCEE for the sale of 87,600 MWh per year at a rate of R$294.50 per MWh (price for year 2020). In August 2010, Angélica participated in a public auction, whereupon Angélica entered into a second 15-year agreement with CCEE starting in 2011, for the sale of 131,400 MWh per year at a rate of R$265.03 per MWh (price for year 2020). The delivery period for the first auction is May to December and for the second the delivery period starts in April and ends in November of each year. The rates under both agreements are adjusted annually for inflation by reference to the IPCA.
Land Transformation Business
Land transformation is an important element of our business model and a driver of value creation. Through land transformation, we optimize land use and increase the productive potential and value of our farmland. Our land transformation model consists of changing the use of underutilized or undermanaged agricultural land to more profitable cash generating agricultural activities, such as turning low cash-yielding cattle pasture land into high cash-yielding croppable land, allowing profitable agricultural activities, such as crop, rice and sugarcane production.
Since our inception, we have successfully identified multiple opportunities for the acquisition of undeveloped or undermanaged farmland with high potential for transformation. During the eighteen-year period since our inception, we have effectively put into production over 171 thousand hectares that were previously undeveloped or inefficiently managed and are undergoing the transformation process.
The land transformation process begins by determining the productive potential of each plot of land. This will vary according to soil properties, climate, productive risks, and the available technology in each specific region. Before commencing the transformation process, we perform environmental impact studies to evaluate the potential impact on the local ecosystem, with the goal of promoting environmentally responsible agricultural production and ecosystem preservation, thereby supporting sustainable land use. We do not operate in heavily wooded areas or primarily wetland areas.
The transformation process for undeveloped and undermanaged land requires us to make initial investments during a period of one to up to three years, and the land reaches stable productive capability the third to seventh year following commencement of the land transformation activities.
We are engaged in three different categories of the land transformation process, which are defined by the previous use of the land:
83

•Undeveloped land (savannahs and natural grasslands): This is the most drastic transformation phase since it demands both physical and chemical transformation of the soil. First, the land is mechanically cleared to remove native vegetation. The soil is then mechanically leveled for agricultural operations: in the case of land being transformed for rice production, this process involves heavy land movements and systematization required for irrigation and drainage channels, roads and bridges. In the case of land destined for sugarcane plantations, land movements will also be necessary for the construction of terraces to prevent the excess of water runoff. Certain soils must be chemically treated and corrected by incorporating nutrients such as limestone, gypsum and phosphorous, as is the case of the Brazilian ‘Cerrado’. Soil correction is not required in Argentina or Uruguay due to the natural fertility of the soil. Pesticides and fertilizers are then applied to the soil in preparation for planting. In the case of land destined for crop production (grains and oilseeds), soybean, which is sometimes referred to as a colonizing crop, is usually planted during the first years due to its resistance to pests, weeds and extreme weather and soil conditions. Thereafter, the land will enter into a crop rotation scheme to reduce the incidence of plague and disease and to balance soil nutrients. In the case of rice and sugar cane, which are produced in a monoculture system, there is no colonizing crop or rotation involved. Intensive plague and weed controls and additional soil correction will take place during these first three to five years. Land productivity or yields, measured in tons of soybean or other crops per hectare, will be initially low and will gradually increase year by year. During the first five to seven years, the yields will increase at high and sustained rates. After the seventh year we consider the land developed as yield volatility is reduced and growth is only achievable at marginal rates. Since our inception in 2002, we have put into production about 70 thousand hectares of undeveloped land into productive croppable land.
•Undermanaged or underutilized farmland (cultivated pastures and poorly managed agriculture): This transformation process is lighter than the one described above since it does not require the initial mechanical clearing of vegetation or land leveling. Only in the case of land being prepared for rice production will leveling be required for efficient flood-irrigation. The transformation of cattle pastures or poor agriculture in the Brazilian ‘Cerrado’ will begin with soil correction and soil tillage in preparation for planting of the first soybean or sugarcane crop. The process will then continue as described in the case above. Land productivity or crop yields will grow at high rates during the first three to five years of the transformation process and will then commence to stabilize and grow at marginal rates, at which point we consider the land developed. Since our inception in 2002 we have put into production over 100 thousand hectares of undermanaged or underutilized farmland into croppable land.
•Ongoing transformation of croppable land: The application of efficient and sustainable crop production technologies and best practices such as “no-till”, crop rotations, integrated pest and weed management and balanced fertilization, among others, incrementally increases soil quality and land productivity over time, maximizing return on invested capital and increasing the land value of our properties. Our entire farmland portfolio is constantly undergoing this phase of land transformation.
In each of these categories of transformation, the metric the company uses to track the level and analyze the progress of the transformation process is the level and tendency of crop yields and the number of years the land has been under crop production. Consequently, the process of land transformation is evidenced by the results of the activities within our other business segments, primarily our crops, rice and sugarcane segments. Accordingly the costs associated with the transformation process described above are allocated within these other business segments. As a result, there may be variations in our results from one season to the next according to the amount of farmland undergoing transformation and the amount of land sold and our ability to identify and acquire new farmland.
Our land transformation segment seeks not only to profit from crop and rice cultivation, but also from the opportunistic disposition of successfully transformed farmland. We strategically sell farms that have reached productive maturity with marginal potential for further productivity increases (years three to seven after commencing the land transformation process) to realize and monetize the capital gains arising from the land transformation process. Land transformation proceeds are in turn reinvested in the purchase of strategic farmland with potential for transformation and appreciation. The rotation of our land portfolio allows us to allocate capital efficiently. Since 2006 we have had a solid track record of selling farmland and achieving profitable returns. During the last fourteen years, we have sold 25 farms, generating capital gains of approximately $250 million.
These capital gains are generated by three main factors:
(i) the acquisition of land at opportunistic prices below the market value or fair value of the land;
84

(ii) the land transformation and ongoing land transformation process described above enhances the productivity and profitability of land, ultimately increasing the value of the land; and
(iii) general market appreciation of land driven by increase in commodity prices and supply and demand dynamics in the land market. In this regard, during the last 43 years, since 1977, farmland prices in Argentina’s core production region have increased an average of 8.1% per year according to data published by Margenes Agropecuarios. The value of the farms we sold as well as our overall land portfolio, has mostly been positively impacted by this external factor.
We believe we are one of the most active players in the land business in South America. Since our inception in 2002, we have executed transactions for the purchase and sale of land for over $780 million. Our business development team is responsible for analyzing, selecting, acquiring and selling land. The team has gained extensive expertise in evaluating and acquiring farmland throughout South America, and has a solid understanding of the productivity potential of each region and of the potential for land transformation and appreciation. Since 2002, the team has analyzed over 11 million hectares of farmland with a total value of approximately $16 billion. We have developed a methodology to analyze investment opportunities, taking into account price, transformation potential, productive model, financial projections, and investment requirements, among others. Our analysis also employs advanced information technology, including the use of satellite images, rain and temperature records, soil analysis, and topography and drainage maps. From time to time, we may leverage our favorable position in and knowledge of the land market to engage in opportunistic buying and selling transactions.
The following table sets forth our acquisitions and divestitures since our inception:

Our Farms
Appraisal of Farms. In September 2020, in order to assess the market value of rural properties in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, we requested an appraisal by Cushman & Wakefield Argentina S.A., independent real estate valuation firm knowledgeable about the agriculture industry and the local real estate market. As part of these appraisals, the value of each of our properties was determined using the sales comparison approach taking into account current offerings and prices buyers had recently paid for comparable sites, adjusted for the differences between comparable properties and the subject property to arrive at an estimate of the value. The major elements of comparison used to value the properties included the property rights conveyed, the financial terms incorporated into the transaction, the conditions or motivations surrounding the sale, changes in market conditions since the sale, the location of the real estate and the physical characteristics of the property.
85

The above mentioned valuations assumed good and marketable title to subject properties, which were assumed to be free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. The valuation did not include site measurements and no surveys of the subject properties were undertaken. In addition, the valuations also assumed (a) responsible ownership and competent management of the subject properties; (b) there were no hidden or unapparent conditions of the subject properties, subsoil or structures that render the subject properties more or less valuable; (c) full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local zoning and environmental regulations and laws and (d) all required licenses, certificates of occupancy and other governmental consents were or can be obtained and renewed for any use on which the value opinion contained in the appraisals is based. Unless otherwise stated in the appraisals, the existence of potentially hazardous or toxic materials that may have been used in the construction or maintenance of the improvements or may be located at or about the subject properties was not considered in arriving at the appraisal of value. These materials (such as formaldehyde foam insulation, asbestos insulation and other potentially hazardous materials) may adversely affect the value of the subject properties.
Cushman & Wakefield has informed us their assessment of the market value of our farmland as of September 30, 2020. According to Cushman & Wakefield, the market value of our farmland totaled $763.2 million, out of which $699.4 million correspond to the market value of our farmland in Argentina and Uruguay, and the remaining $63.8 million correspond to the market value of our farmland in Brazil. Net of minority interests in certain Argentine farms, the market value of our farmland totaled $712.5 million. These valuations are only intended to provide an indicative approximation of the market value of our farmland property as of September 30, 2020 based on then current market conditions. This information is subject to change based on a host of variables and market conditions.

(1) On June 2014, we completed the sale of a 49.0% interest in Global Anceo S.L.U and Global Hisingen S.L.U, two Spanish subsidiaries that owned La Guarida, La Garrucha and Los Guayacanes farms.
(2) On December 2015, we completed the sale of a 49% interest in Global Acamante S.L.U, Global Calidon S.L.U, Global Carelio S.L.U, and Global Mirabilis S.L.U, whose main underlying assets are El Orden and La Carolina.
A substantial portion of our assets consists of rural real estate. The agricultural real estate market in Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay is particularly characterized by volatility and illiquidity. As a result, we may experience difficulties in immediately adjusting our portfolio of rural properties in response to any alterations in the economic or business environments. The volatility of the local market could affect our ability to sell and receive the proceeds from such sales, which could give rise to a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. See "Risks Related to Our Business and Industries-A substantial portion of our assets is farmland that is highly illiquid.”
Land Leasing and Agriculture Partnerships. We enter into operating lease agreements based on criteria regarding the quality and projected profitability of the property, as well as our production and yield objectives in the short or medium term. Generally, we become aware of farms available for lease directly through the owners of farms near our farms and in some cases through regional brokers.
We tend to be more open to leasing farmland for sugarcane production than for our farming businesses, where we own the majority of the land that we farm. We lease land for our sugarcane production primarily because leases in this sector are
87

long term, lasting between one or two sugarcane cycles (with each cycle lasting generally 6 years), which allows us to implement and reap the productivity benefits of our land transformation strategies. Sugarcane lease payments are established in terms of tons of sugarcane per hectare, depending on the productivity of the land in terms of tons per hectare and sucrose content per hectare and also on the distance from the land to the mill. Sugarcane prices are based on the market value of the sugarcane set forth by the regulations of the State of Sao Paulo Sugarcane, Sugar and Alcohol Growers Counsel (Conselho dos Produtores de Cana-de-Açúcar, Açúcar e Álcool do Estado de Sao Paulo, or “Consecana”). Given the strategic location of our mills in the region and the inherent inefficiency of growing crops other than sugarcane in this region, we expect to be able to renew our leases for the sugarcane farmland with minimal issues.
With respect to our farming business, the initial duration of lease agreements is generally one harvest year. Leases of farmland for production of grains include agreements with both fixed and variable lease payments in local currency or U.S. dollars per hectare.
Land Management. We manage our land through an executive committee composed of a country manager, regional manager, farm manager and members of the Technology Adecoagro Group (“TAG”) that meet on a monthly basis. We delegate individual farm management to farm managers, who are responsible for farm operations and receive advisory support from TAG to analyze and determine the most suitable and efficient technologies to be applied. Our executive committee establishes commercial and production rules based on sales, market expectations and risk allocation, and fulfilling production procedures and protocols.
Following an acquisition of property, we make investments in technology in order to improve productivity and to increase its value. Occasionally when we purchase property, a parcel of the property is sub-utilized or the infrastructure may be in need of improvement, including traditional fencing and electrical fencing, irrigation equipment and machinery, among other things.

Customers
We sell manufactured and agricultural products to a large base of customers. The type and class of customers may differ depending on our business segments, regions and some logistics issues that are very important in our decision making. For the year ended December 31, 2020 more than 89% of our sales of crops were sold to ten well-known customers, both multinational or local. Of these customers, the first four cases represented almost 63% of our sales and the remaining six represented approximately 26% of our net sales in the course of that year.
In the Sugar, Ethanol and Energy segment, sales of ethanol were concentrated in five customers, which represented 84% of total sales of ethanol for the year ended December 31, 2020. Approximately 90% of our sales of sugar were concentrated in five customers for the year ended December 31, 2020. The remaining 10% was dispersed among several customers. In 2020, energy sales were 65% concentrated in six major customers.
Competition
The farming sector is highly fragmented. Although we are one of South America’s leading producers, due to the atomized nature of the farming sector, our overall market share in some of the industries in which we participate is insubstantial. Our production volume, however, improves our ability to negotiate favorable supply, transportation and delivery logistics with our suppliers, third-party transporters, ports and other facilities, and customers. Although competition in agriculture varies considerably by product and sector, in general, there are a large number of producers, and each one of them controls only a small portion of the total production. Therefore individual producers often have little influence on the market and cause little or no effect on market prices as a result of their individual strategies, explaining why producers are price takers and not price makers. In many cases, the price is established in international market exchanges. As the majority of agricultural products are commodities, which stifles product differentiation, the principal competition factors are cost of production and volume efficiency gains. In addition, agricultural producers face strong foreign competition, and with this competition the factors are often more difficult to identify.
The majority of farming producers in developed countries can rely on specific protectionist policies and subsidies from their governments in order to maintain their position in the market. In general, we have been able to obtain discounts for the acquisition of supplies and excess prices for our production in the farming sector. In this sector, we view SLC Agrícola S.A., BrasilAgro - Companhia Brasileira de Propriedades Agrícolas, Sollus Agrícola, Radar Propriedades Agrícolas, El Tejar S.A., Cresud SACIF y A, MSU S.A. and Los Grobo Agropecuaria, among others, as our competitors. We also compete in Argentina with retailers of agricultural products, including other branded rice products, such as Molinos Río de la Plata S.A., Dos Hermanos S.H., Sagemüller S.A. and Cooperativa Arroceros Villa Elisa Ltda.
The sugar and ethanol industries are highly competitive. In Brazil, we compete with numerous small-and medium-sized sugar and ethanol producers. Despite increased consolidation, the Brazilian sugar and ethanol industries remain highly fragmented, with more than 384 sugar mills. Some of the largest industry players with whom we compete are Raizen, Biosev, Atvos, Tereos, São Martinho, Bunge, Santa Terezinha, Lincoln Junqueira and Coruripe. We also face competition from international sugar producers, such as those in the U.S. and the European Union, where local regulators have historically implemented tariffs, agriculture subsidies and/or other governmental incentive programs, of which some remain, to protect local sugar producers from foreign competition.
The following table describes the Brazilian competitive landscape:

| Brazil
Number of Mills | 384 |
Sugarcane crushed (million tons) | 642.7 |
Ethanol Production (million cubic meters) | 35.6 |
Sugar Production (million tons) | 29.8 |

With respect to farmland, there have historically been few companies competing to acquire and lease farmland for the purpose of benefiting from land appreciation and optimization of yields in different commercial activities. However, we believe
91

that new companies, may become active players in the acquisition of farmland and the leasing of sown land, which would add competitors to the market in coming years.
Supplies and Suppliers
Our principal supplies for our farming business are seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and fuel, which represented 8.6%, 6.7%, 12.1% and 3.6%, respectively, of our total direct costs (including leasing cost). Further, these supplies represented 27.5% of our total cost of production (including manufacturing and administrative expenses) for 2020. As we use direct sowing in 99% of our planted area, without requiring soil preparation, fuel represents only 3.2% of the total cost of production for 2020.
Our principal supplies for our sugar, ethanol and energy business are diesel, lubricants and fertilizers, which collectively represented 16.1% of our total cost of production (including manufacturing and administrative expenses) in the sugar, ethanol and energy business for 2020. We have an extensive network of suppliers for each of our business segments and for each required input within each segment, resulting in lower reliance on any particular supplier. Our ten largest suppliers account for 22.1% of our total expenditures for supplies in 2020. While we value the relationships we have developed with each of our suppliers given the quality we have come to expect, we do not consider any single supplier to be key to our production.
We have been able to obtain lower prices particularly due to the volume that derives from our large-scale operations.
Seasonality
Our business activities are inherently seasonal. We generally harvest and sell most of our grains (corn, soybean, rice and sunflower) between February and August, with the exception of wheat, which is harvested from December to January. Peanut is harvested from April to May, and sales are executed with higher intensity during the third quarter of the year. Cotton is unique in that while it is typically harvested from June to August, it requires processing which takes about two to three months to complete. Sales in our dairy business segment tend to be more stable. However, milk production is generally higher during the fourth quarter, when the weather is more suitable for production. In general terms, processing of rice and milk tend to be more stable during the year. Although our Sugar, Ethanol and Electricity cluster is currently operating under a “non-stop” or “continuous” harvest and without stopping during traditional off-season, the rest of the sector in Brazil is still primarily operating with large off-season periods from December/January to March/April. The result of large off-season periods is fluctuations in our sugar and ethanol sales and in our inventories, usually peaking in December to take advantage of higher prices during the traditional off-season period (i.e., January through April). As a result of the above factors, there may be significant variations in our financial results from one quarter to another. In addition our quarterly results may vary as a result of the effects of fluctuations in commodities prices, production yields and costs on the determination of changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects-A. Operating Results-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates-Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce.”
Sustainability
Our production model is based on sustainability standards that seek to produce food and renewable energy on a long-term basis. Those standards include best practices and certifications that promote development and health, customer satisfaction and stakeholders' interest, neighboring community welfare, food care and food safety, and environmental protection. Accordingly, our sustainable approach to farming requires that we take into account not only economic, but also social and environmental aspects specifically adapted to local circumstances. We believe we accomplish these goals through a team committed to our values: trust, transparency, efficiency, innovation, safety and sustainability.
Our people
We constantly care about the development, health and safety of our employees. We also promote enhanced working conditions, while we support training and internal education programs to improve skills and educate with the newest technologies and business practices. We implement and constantly revise our health and safety programs in each of our businesses.
Standardized and Scalable Agribusiness Model
We have adopted an agribusiness model that allows us to engage in large-scale farming activities in an efficient and sustainable manner. Our agribusiness model consists of developing a specialized workforce and defining standard protocols to track crop development and control production variables, thereby enhancing efficient decision making and facilitating
92

continuous improvement. This approach allows us to grow in scale, execute our expansion plan and efficiently manage various production units spread across different regions by effectively replicating our productive model. Process standardization also helps us assure compliance with local law and regulations and reduce social and environmental risks.
We continue to develop and implement crop protocols. The purpose of these protocols is to coordinate and consolidate the knowledge on crop management for each area in order to standardize the implementation of these protocols. The protocols contain all the technical information for managing crops. This information is constantly reviewed by agricultural teams and their advisors, making it possible to preserve the technical knowledge of the company and at the same time improve agricultural production and make decisions pursuant to the company’s guidelines. Based on the results of the application of these protocols, we conduct an annual review of the techniques used and their results. This evaluation is done by means of crop campaign analysis, in which all teams review and discuss the last harvest year’s productive performance and the technological package for the new harvest year.
When processes and protocols are defined they can be audited and certified by qualified third parties. Adecoagro has certified its crop and rice production in Argentina under ISO 9001, its biodigestor energy generation in Argentina under ISO 14001, and RTRS in most of our crop operating units. In addition to this, in 2020 we have certified our paddy rice production under SAI (Sustainable Agriculture Initiative) squeme.
In order to achieve efficient scales of production, we have redesigned our field sizes by removing useless cattle infrastructure such as fencing. Larger fields reduce the overlapping of farm works, enhancing operating efficiency, reducing the use of inputs and achieving agronomic timing (planting or harvesting on time). The goal is to reduce operative time and to improve efficiency in the use of inputs. Large-scale production also requires the implementation of advanced technology such as GPS (Global Positioning System), GIS (Geographic Information System) and modern machinery as well.
We are also adopting operational protocols and procedures in our industrial facilities to improve control of processing variables. Both of our milk processing facilities have been certified under FSSC 22000 standard (Food Safety System Certification), and our Morteros facility has also obtained Kosher and Halal certifications. In our rice mills the FSSC 22000 standard is currently under implementation, we have been audited for the FSSC Global Market standard and two of our mills have obtained the Kosher certification. Regarding our crop business, our peanut processing facility has been certified for Kosher and BRC standard for food safety, and is currently implementing Halal; while our sunflower processing facility has obtained the FSSC 22000 standard and Kosher certification. Most of our facilities are either implementing or have been audited by SMETA, which validates our compliance with health and safety practices throughout the supply chain.
When market conditions provide price premiums for certified grains or oilseeds, we evaluate the feasibility of implementing specific certifications. Some examples of this are RTRS (Round Table on Responsible Soybeans) and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency, US) certifications for Sustainable Soybeans in Argentina. In Brazil, we are certifying sugar-based products for EPA. Bonsucro certifications and Organic Sugar Certification (Usina Monte Alegre).
Contractors
Contractors play a significant role in our farming business model. If cost competitive, we seek to outsource most of the typical farm work, such as planting, spraying and harvesting. Outsourcing allows us to reduce our investments in heavy machinery and equipment such as tractors or harvesters, enhancing the efficient allocation of our capital in our core productive activities. Notwithstanding, we are reviewing the contractor model and comparing it with the use of own machinery in some of our crops and rice operations. We are willing to develop our own-equipment-based model where efficiencies could be enhanced.
The contractor model in the Argentine humid pampas region has existed for over s years and has developed into a highly competitive market. Contractors have gained extensive expertise and skill in the management of agricultural machinery and have access to modern advanced technology. When working with them, we seek to develop win-win relationships with our contractors by considering them as part of our production team and providing constant technical training and support through our GTA (as defined below) activities. We strive to have a number of contractors associated with each farm to generate competition and allow benchmarking to enhance operational efficiency and ensure high-quality service.
In regions where this model is not fully developed, we use a mixed system where we hire the most experienced contractors in the region and we also operate our own machinery. We promote the development of new contractors by providing training and selling them our used machinery. We also promote the movement of selected contractors from developed regions into new marginal regions by offering them an opportunity to grow their businesses. In other regions where there is no established contractor system or there is specific farm work (rice land leveling for instance), we own majority of the machinery. In our Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business, we own or lease and operate all the agricultural equipment and machinery needed for sugarcane planting and harvesting operations. Such model is performing very well and is encouraging us to consider it for
93

our Farming businesses, where we actually have recently incorporated some additional planters and harvesters. Our main goal is to achieve high-quality farm works, both when selecting any contractor and when using our own machinery. In Brazil we partially employ the contractor model only for specific tasks such as land leveling, and aerial spraying among others.
Adecoagro Technical Group (Grupo Tecnico Adecoagro “GTA”)
The GTA is an internal group formed by agronomists, farm managers, external advisors, contractors, trainees and suppliers, whose main goal is to excel in production management by providing constant technical education and analysis regarding production technologies. Although the GTA is focused on developing such knowledge under common criteria for the whole company, it also considers different production systems, such as crops, rice and dairy in Argentina and Uruguay, and sugarcane in Minas Gerais and Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. In order to achieve their goals, the group meets every 20 days to analyze and discuss technical aspects of the farming production processes.
The GTA participates in the design of the most efficient and productive land use strategies, the definition of the optimal crop production mix for each farm and region, and supervises and evaluates the implementation of the most profitable and sustainable technologies to be adapted and applied in each region. Additionally, the GTA promotes specific external training courses, facilitates participation in external technical groups, organizes technical farm tours, offers support in establishing the crop planting plan and delivers a full-season analysis for each crop annually. This analysis is essential in order to allow technical improvements to be implemented for the following crop season.
Since the GTA is involved in different regions, it plays a relevant role in spreading best practices among productive regions, including “no-till” in lesser-developed areas. In order to evaluate and adapt the proper technologies locally, a vast network of test plots in agrochemicals, seeds, and farm-works are being carried out under specific technical guidelines. Such development is performed to make the necessary technological adjustments in respect of fertilizer levels, choice of the best product varieties for each crop, determination of the best planting periods and improvement in crop management and agricultural mechanization, resulting in higher yields coupled with reduced costs.
In order to continually improve our technical development, we participate in specialized industry groups, such as CREA and AAPRESID in Argentina, with which we share values and goals. “CREA” is a 50-year-old farmers’ association focused on developing and supporting technical excellence with local farmers. “AAPRESID” is a technical association of highly innovative farmers specializing in no-till development. We participate in certain CREA and AAPRESID discussion groups in which we share and evaluate common technical matters. We take advantage of their vast network of test plots and we constantly exchange technological knowledge for implementation in our farms.
In addition, the GTA is focusing its resources on pursuing improvements trough implementing advanced techniques. Such techniques comprise variable inputs usage by type of soil based on precision agriculture technology, intensification techniques relating to soil occupation times and diversified crop rotations, adjusting “no-till” in rice production, developing sugarcane production technologies involving agricultural mechanization and minimum tillage, and developing cotton production technologies involving “no-till” and crop rotation among others.
By implementing all these education programs and development activities, the GTA provides to the company a network that focuses on the fine-tuning and optimization of the efficiencies throughout all the production processes of each business line.
Technology and Best Practices
We have consistently used innovative production techniques to ensure that we are at the forefront of technological improvements and standards in our industry. For example, we use the “no-till” technology and “crop rotation” to improve our crop yields. We also practice the use of “second harvests” or double cropping where conditions permit, allowing us to plant and harvest a second crop from the same farmland in the same harvest year. Our crop production model is based on balanced fertilization, integrated pest and weed management and crop intensification. We use the innovative silo bag storage method in our rice and crop businesses allowing us to time the entry of our rice production into the market at optimal price points. Additionally, we believe we were the first company in South America to implement the innovative “free-stall” infrastructure in dairy operations resulting in increased raw milk production compared to our peers. The free-stall method is a model that provides for better control over production variables by confining dairy cows into large barns. Those barns are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to enhance cow-comfort conditions, such as sand beds, water-spray cooling system and fans. In addition, installations are equipped with indoor corrals and a mechanical advanced milking system on a rotary platform, allowing us to utilize production efficiencies and thereby increase milk production volumes while maximizing our land use and resulting in significantly higher conversion rates of animal feed into milk.
94

Our sugarcane harvesting is 98% mechanized, which has significantly improved operating efficiency, therefore reducing operating costs. We have modern facilities in the sugar and ethanol business including advanced sugar and ethanol mills with high-pressure boilers and that achieve one of the highest ratios of energy produced per ton of cane milled, according to the Cane Technology Center Benchmark program. Our Angélica sugar plant was the first continuously operative facility in Brazil, requiring no production stoppages between sugar batches.
No-Till
“No-till” is the cornerstone of our crop production technology and the key to maintaining and even increasing the value and productivity of our land assets. “No-till” - often called zero tillage or direct sowing - is a technology developed more than 40 years ago to grow crops from year to year without disturbing the soil through tillage, and arose as an opposition to conventional tillage.
Conventional farming consists of using plows to turn and till the soil to remove weeds, mix in soil additives such as fertilizers, and prepare the surface for seeding. Soil tillage leads to unfavorable effects such as soil compaction, loss of organic matter, degradation of soil components, death or disruption of microorganisms, evaporation of soil humidity and soil erosion where topsoil is blown or washed away by wind or rain.
“No-till” farming avoids these negative effects by excluding the use of tillage. The “no-till” technology consists of leaving crop plant residues on the surface of the soil after harvesting a crop. These residues form a mulch or permanent cover protecting the soil from erosion risks caused by heavy rains and strong winds. This protective cover also helps natural precipitation and irrigation water infiltrate the soil effectively while decreasing water loss from evaporation. Absence of tillage helps prevent soil compaction, allowing the soil to absorb more water and roots to grow deeper into the soil. Furthermore, “no-till” reduces the emergence of weeds and enhances biological processes that positively impact soil properties, conserving and even improving the presence of organic matter and microorganisms and associated nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous, etc).
The combination of these advantages results in important cost reductions due to a lower use of inputs, mainly diesel, fertilizers and pesticides, and higher crop yields, thus increasing the profitability of our business. These benefits are achieved in the medium to long term, resulting in a continuous increase of land productivity and thus its value. From an operational standpoint, “no-till” facilitates the conditions to perform most of the operations on time such as planting, spraying and harvesting, which enhances the development of large-scale operations and specially improves the probability of planting each crop at the optimum moment.
Crop Rotation
Crop rotation is the practice of growing a series of dissimilar types of crops in the same area in sequential seasons. Crop rotation allows us to better control the buildup of harmful weeds and reduces the incidence of plagues and diseases that often occur when the same commodity is continuously cropped. Crop rotation also allows us to balance the fertility demands of various crops to avoid the excessive depletion of soil nutrients, contributing to a more efficient use of fertilizers and a sustainable use of herbicides and pesticides. Crop rotation results in increased yields and reduced production costs, providing a high rate of return. Our crop rotation model is tailored to each of our farming regions based on climatic and soil conditions. For example, in Argentina’s Humid Pampas, our three-year crop rotation cycle involves the planting of a wheat crop followed by a soybean double-crop in the first year, a corn crop in the second year, and a soybean crop in the third year. In some areas of the Humid Pampas, where agro-climatic conditions are adequate, we enhance our crop rotation by introducing some industrial crops such as peanut and confectionary sunflower.
Second Harvest - Double Cropping
Second harvest, also known as “double cropping”, is the practice of consecutively producing two crops on the same land within the same growing year. Double cropping is possible only in regions with long growing seasons, which is determined mainly by climate conditions such as rain and temperature. Double cropping allows us to increase the profitability of our land, diversify our production and commercial risk and enhance operational efficiencies through a better utilization of machinery, freight, labor and other resources, resulting in a dilution of our fixed costs. Double cropping has important agronomical advantages as well, such as having crops on the land for a longer period of time, which, enhanced by “no-till” and crop rotation practices results in the improvement of the physical and chemical properties of the soil in the long term. We implement and adapt different double cropping systems for each of our productive regions in Argentina and Uruguay, with the most frequent being wheat/soybean, wheat/corn, sunflower/soybean, corn/soybean and sunflower/corn.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Integrated pest management (“IPM”) involves a deep analysis of agronomical, economic and environmental aspects with the goal of determining the most efficient way to control the pests. It simultaneously achieves three main goals: (i) enhancing crop productivity, (ii) reducing use of pesticides and (iii) decreasing the risk of agrochemical contamination. The first stage of IPM is to train the people who will be involved in pesticide usage. The pesticide to be applied is selected considering local regulations (only locally approved pesticides are used) and the minimum resulting environmental risks due to its chemical classification. Additionally, when selecting biotechnologically developed crops, we evaluate the potential reduction of pesticide uses that may be achieved. The doses of pesticides are defined by vendor recommendations and adjusted through agronomical expertise (specific to a crop and a pest). The timing of pesticide application is based on economic threshold that takes into account the crop situation (growing stage, climate conditions), the potential damage of the pest (type, population, growing stage), the presence of “beneficial” pests, and finally, the price relationship between grains and pesticides. We also use biological pest controls by breeding and releasing natural enemies of the relevant pest, as is the case with the borer plague in sugarcane. The relevance of the pest is measured by implementing specific scouting methodologies, which are adapted to large-scale farming. Scouting is carried out by trained employees who supervise all the fields on a weekly basis. The pesticide doses are applied by high-tech machinery, the majority of which is outsourced. IPM machinery is accurately calibrated to increase its application efficiency and to reduce any potential contamination risk. Climate conditions are taken into account, as well, in determining the optimal timing for spraying, to avoid drifting, evaporation and leakage risks.
Balanced Fertilization
Balanced fertilization consists of determining an optimum use of fertilizers at the proper grades and in the proper amounts to supply the correct ratio of nutrients and to ensure that the soil will sustain high crop yields over time, consequently decreasing contamination risks. At the beginning of each crop season, we perform extensive soil studies in each of our farms to monitor the amount of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium levels in each field. Based on this analysis and considering the potential yield for each field, the crop rotation, and relative prices between fertilizers and agricultural products, we determine the optimum amount of fertilizer to be applied in order to maximize the economic response of the crop.
Water management
Since crops need sufficient water to achieve their potential yields, we are engaged in techniques aimed to increase the efficiency of water usage and at the same time to decrease soil erosion risks. In that regard, “no-till” presents strong advantages since it improves rainfall infiltration and increases the soil’s water storage capacity. In areas that may be subject to excess water, we are developing terraces, soil leveling and other techniques intended to decrease runoff and erosion risks. In some of the jurisdictions in which we operate, the use of water for irrigation requires obtaining special permits. For certain irrigated crops such as rice, we focus on the design and operation of rainwater harvesting, collecting water from rain in semi-natural reservoirs destined for future irrigation. In addition, we have developed a water recycle system for each farm where excess of water (derived from drainage and rainfalls) can be reused, instead of being drained out of the farm. Channels to conduct the water and drain the fields are developed by experts in order to deliver water in the most efficient manner. We have developed Precision Leveling system (with zero or controlled grade level) in most of our rice farms to increase productivity and reduce production costs. This technique involves a precise leveling of the land based on GPS and Laser technology. When fields are accurately leveled, water irrigation requirements are reduced, thus lowering the cost of labor and energy. Efficient management of irrigation results in a positive impact on yields. Additionally, as the fields can be larger, there are some operational benefits that can be achieved by reducing machinery working times. Recently, we have implemented polypipe irrigation system in the most hilly rice-fields. This technology consists of deploying plastic pipes to conduct irrigation water from big channel to the fields, thus reducing water consumption, alongside with a small reduction of area devoted to infrastructure. In addition, we are using drones to assess water levels during rice irrigation season. Through this high-precision surveillance method, we are enhancing water management, which improves potential yield, while reducing water consumption. Drones use different cameras to detect water levels even when dense canopies cover the fields. Other crops such corn seed and, sunflower seed are irrigated by highly efficient pivot spraying systems. This type of irrigation system allows us to distribute water uniformly throughout the field, improving the use of water in terms of total millimeters per year. We conduct soil moisture sampling to define the best moment and amount of water to be used for irrigation in each plot.
Mechanization
We incorporate all available mechanization technology into our business that is cost-effective. We believe that by employing mechanization technology we improve our operating efficiency and are better able to reach desired economies of scale in our operations. Mechanization also enables us to adopt new associated technologies faster and hastens our development efforts. In our farming business, we are using cutting-edge mechanized technology for planting, spraying, harvesting and
96

irrigating and for soil preparation and management. We also employ advanced mechanization technology in our logistics and product processing operations, including transportation, drying operations and grain sorting and storage. We have developed mechanization technology to benefit sugarcane planting and harvesting, which traditionally have not benefitted from such mechanization.
Synergies
The technologies we employ are very closely linked, and the joint implementation of a number of them will result in positive synergies for our entire production system. For example, implementation of the “no-till” technology can be enhanced by crop rotations, due to the positive biological effects generated by the different types of roots from each crop in the soil. Benefits of integrated pest management are improved when combined with the “no-till” and crop rotation strategies, since the crop stubble that remains on the soil can be a barrier to some plagues, and because some other pests are specific to a particular crop and the crop rotation can be sufficient to control them. We consider these synergies when we develop our crop seeding schedule. In the case of re-use of residues, we benefited from our experience in sugarcane, where almost everything is re-used and no residues are generated. By transferring such conceptual ideas to our dairy operations, we ended up in reusing the manure from the cows to generate renewable electricity.
AgTech (Agricultural digital-based Technology)
Since inception, we have been introducing cutting-edge technologies to increase our production efficiency. As digital and information-based technologies are rapidly advancing, we are currently devoting time and efforts to work closely with AgTech Startups that could bring solutions to our operational processes. We are monitoring both local and international startups, with the goal of adopting efficient digital technology in our operations (see “Research & Developments” section).
Industrial Technology
In the recent years, we have incorporated many industrial facilities to our portfolio, so we have been actively enhancing their performance through the implementation of technology. In the case of dairy industry, we have replaced the source of energy from LPG gas to Natural gas in the facility of Morteros, thus reducing both the cost of production and the impact to the environment. In the same facility, we have incorporated the technology to produce Fat Filled, a product that help us to enhance operational efficiency while achieving new markets. In the case of Chivilcoy dairy facility, we have incorporated the technologies to produce and package UHT cream, yoghurt and milk with cacao. These incorporations help us to enhance our milk-based product portfolio. All these three new products are based on own formula developed by our Production and Quality team.
Information Technology
We employ the World Class ERP Oracle eBusiness Suite to standardize and integrate our processes throughout the company and improve controls and information accuracy and consolidation. The Oracle eBusiness Suite allows us to fulfill our local accounting and fiscal needs while facilitating operational coordination across our geographic areas and lines of business, reducing our operational costs and minimizing duplication and inefficiencies. It also provides our management with consolidated results in a timely manner.
Cyber security
In accordance with the growing risks in cybersecurity like viruses, trojans, hackers and other threats, we have adopted a series of measures designed to mitigate these risks. We are constantly implementing new technologies and solutions to assist in the prevention of potential and attempted cyber-attacks, as well protective measures and contingency plans in the event of an existing attack. We analyze the risks we face on an ongoing basis and, accordingly, strengthen our information technology infrastructure, update our policies, and raise awareness among our employees, to enhance our ability to prevent and respond to such risks.
Despite our security measures, in January 2020 we suffered an infection incident with a virus. This incident compromised the networks, and a significant number of servers and personal computers of Adecoagro. However, it did not have a material impact on our information technology, since the production systems were not compromised, nor were the financial and accounting systems or the company's databases. Adecoagro was forced to carry out a contingency plan, in order to restore the affected services, and return to a safe and normalized working condition. Services were recovered during the days following the incident, but critical systems such as billing, sales and merchandise dispatches were available within a few hours after the
97

event. In response to this event, we have taken several actions. For example, we have created the Cyber Security Officer position; we have hired a cyber-security specialist to help us in the validation and development of a short, mid and long term plan; and we have already increased the security level in our facilities. This event has enforced our commitment and decision to continue reinforcing our security systems, and to keep improving our contingency plans.
Environmental Aspects
We are implementing a production model that reflects a strong commitment to the environment. Our responsibility to the environment begins with complying with local regulations. In order to be better stewards of the environment, we are implementing environmental management plans for our operations. Those plans involve different stages, which include educating our own and outsourced staff, monitoring ecological parameters, preventing negative effects, and correcting deviations. Natural resources such as land, water, air and biodiversity are taken into account when we evaluate both the development of a new production project and the operation of an on-going one. In that regard, we are constantly evaluating best practices to be implemented in our operations. See “-Technology and Best Practices.” With land being one of the most relevant natural resource in our operations, we have developed a sustainable land use strategy that considers factors beyond the requirements of local law and regulations. There are ecosystems that we do not consider appropriate for agricultural development, such as heavy forests and key wetlands. We evaluate development of other areas (savannahs, natural grasses, bush land, lowlands) only after carrying out an environmental impact assessment. In addition to such evaluations, we analyze the agricultural potential of the land in respect of the soil, the climate, crop productivity and available technology, among other factors. Through this approach, we make sure that we grow the most suitable crop in each region with the aim of being the lowest cost producer of the sector. We then consolidate our analysis into a land transformation plan, which includes the best land use option and implements best practices such as the “no-till” technology, crop rotations, integrated pest and weed management, balanced fertilization, responsible pesticide usage and water management. All these best practices aim to increase resource efficiency and to decrease the risk of contamination and waste production and are consolidated into an environmental management plan, which includes biodiversity management when applicable. We aim to properly implement our sustainable production model to enhance land productivity and therefore increase land value. With respect to pesticide contamination risks, we are implementing a responsible pesticide use program, which includes personnel training, personnel protection elements, application recommendations, pesticide selection criteria, pesticide handling and storage and after-use pesticide packages management (which are specifically cleaned, collected and stored for recycling purposes under third parties’ programs).
Additionally, in some regions where biodiversity matters are relevant, we are implementing biodiversity management plans, which mainly consists of periodically monitoring flora and fauna, detecting significant variations of their populations, and proposing measures to reduce any potential threats to local species. As a result, we are implementing some practices such as prohibiting hunting on our farms, developing environmental private protection areas (where natural vegetation is protected by implementing sustainable production practices). As environmental matters require specific expertise and an understanding of complex relationships, we hire highly qualified consultants , and are entering into cooperative arrangements and agreements with educational institutions.
In Brazil, we have the Brazilian Forestry Code (Código Florestal Brasileiro) as the main source for our environmental policies. Accordingly, we analyze and identify all natural areas inside our own farms and inside leased areas, and make a development plan that defines actions for their preservation. Some examples of these activities are the reforestation of Permanent Preservation Areas (Áreas de Preservación Permanente) and Legal Reserve Areas (Áreas de Reserva Legal), Along with natural regeneration techniques, we have produced seedlings of more than 70 native species to reforest those areas. We are strongly committed to the preservation of forests, and we only develop areas for farming if they were previously used for agricultural purposes or for pasture. We do not operate in massive forests, large wetlands or areas with high biodiversity value. We concern ourselves with the protection of riverbanks and surrounding areas of streams and springs, as they are important for soil conservation and as refuges for native fauna. In that regard, we are implementing periodic monitoring of wildlife and native flora as well.
In respect of our industrial processing activities, we focus on energy-efficient processes that increases productivity with minimum waste disposal. At the same time, we constantly promote the re-use of any by-product or residue within the industrial processes when feasible, or in the fields when their economic analysis make sense. A successful example of this approach is the use of manure to produce electricity and the use of bio fertilizers to grow crops in our Dairy Farm. Another successful story is the use of all Sugar and Ethanol industrial by-products (vinasse, filter cake and composted ashes) as bio fertilizers in our cane fields.
Since November 2017, we are producing renewable electricity from our bio-digester built in our Dairy Farm. The bio-digester transforms cow manure into biogas with high methane content, which then fuels a cogeneration facility that generates 1.4 MW of Power. The electricity produced is sold to the grid under a long-term contract with an Argentinean federal utility. Additionally, as this project allows us to reduce GHG emissions, we have registered the project under the VCS (Verified
98

Carbon Standard) to deliver carbon credits from the bio-digester. In 2011, we received a grant from Sustainable Energy and Climate Change Initiative from the Inter-American Development Bank (SECCI) in order to carry out the pre-feasibility assessment. We have also received a grant from the “Agencia Nacional de Promoción Científica y Tecnologica”, an agency which promotes technological innovation, to partially fund the investment. In July 2016, we participated of Argentina’s “RenovAr” renewable energy auction and entered into a 20-year contract to supply up to 9,145 MWh per year at an average price of US$ 158.92 per MWh plus bonifications. At UMA, we have implemented a pilot plant that produces biogas from vinasse, developed in partnership with Efficiencia, a subsidiary of Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais (“CEMIG”). The technology developed during this project will allow us to generate additional energy from vinasse while maintaining the fertilizer recycling potential of UMA. We have replicated this project under a Commercial scale in our Cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul (Brazil). Currently, we are fine-tuning the production process in order to enhance efficiency. Once the technology start working accordingly, we may expand the capacity in order to maximize the production of biogas in the Cluster. These emission reduction projects could also improve our efficiency by decreasing the carbon emission.
Social Programs
Apart from complying with local labor regulations, we seek to promote the personal and professional development of our employees by offering them an adequate working environment with proper health and safety protections. We aim to develop a transparent relationship with local authorities. Finally, one of our main goals is to contribute positively to the social development of the communities in which we operate, creating new jobs, preserving the environment, providing training opportunities through our internship program and assisting with social development. In order to implement our social development programs, we analyze the areas in which we operate and give special attention to education and poverty rates, possible alliances with other social actors, and potential synergies with local government programs. In addition to social development programs, we contribute to community organizations in each area where we operate, such as hospitals, schools, daycare centers and fire stations, among others. We also have a voluntary matching program where Adecoagro matches each donation from our employees at a 2:1 ratio.
Education
Our sugarcane and rice operations have a very important economic impact in the communities where we are located, and we have developed a Social Action Program in the various municipalities. In 2005, we started a partnership with Cimientos in Corrientes, Santa Fe, Santiago del Estero and Entre Rios in Argentina, through which we have awarded 68 educational programs in 204 urban and rural schools located close to our rice operations. These programs benefit 30,528 students. Cimientos is a non-profit organization that promotes equal educational opportunities for children and youth from low-income families in Argentina. In 2016 we started another program together with Conciencia (a local NGO) in which we support our employees’ children to complete their education. This new program began in Salta near to Los Guayacanes, and 16 children participated. In 2017 we extended the program to the City of San Salvador, where 18 children participated and between the two establishments we reached a total of 20 children in the program.
In 2019 we made a new alliance with the Reciduca Foundation with the aim of providing school scholarships (10) for young people from the community of Pilar to finish their secondary studies, expand their employment opportunities and promote environmental care.
Additionally, we have partnered with Fundação Bradesco in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, working with the local municipalities of Angélica and Ivinhema to re-train teachers at their schools, aiming to improve the performance of public schools to a level of regional excellence. We also have partnerships to encourage the habit of reading through the training of teachers of municipal schools as storytellers and investment in libraries.
Nutrition
In Argentina, we work in partnership with Conin Foundation, which fights malnourishment in children, focusing its actions in three main aspects: education, assistance and research. In 2020, we donated nearly 308 tons of rice and milk. We also work in partnership with the Argentine Food Bank Network, to whom we are currently donating approximately 48 tons of processed rice. This network operates in 17 cities and is a nonprofit distribution enterprise that serves the community by acquiring donated food and making it available to people who are hungry through a network of community agencies. These agencies include school feeding programs, food pantries, soup kitchens, hospices, substance abuse clinics, after-school programs and other nonprofit organizations. Additionally, we have been contributing food to Solidagro, an alliance between rural corporate institutions and civic organizations that seek to solve famine and malnutrition problems, since 2007. We are also collaborating with selected soup kitchen initiatives such as Caritas, CONIN.

Additionally, in 2019 we agreed on a new campaign together with a basketball club in the province of Corrientes, Argentina. The campaign was called “Festejá cada punto vale triple” (Celebrate, each point is worth triple). With this campaign for each point the basketball team scores during this season, Adecoagro will donate 3 kilos of rice to the Conin Foundation centers located within the province of Corrientes. In December 2019, we provided 15 tons of rice to these centers.
Seamos Uno
In connection with the COVID-19 pandemc, we support Seamos Uno, a special campaign that delivered one million boxes of food and hygiene items in the Buenos Aires suburbs and in the Citi of Buenos Aires. This social program brought together companies, non-profit organizations and religious associations. In this effort 1,035,699 families receive this aid and assistance. Adecoagro contributed the following:
•25 thousand liters of milk,
•50 thousand kilos of rice,
•4.1 million kilograms of food delivered at low prices,
•A person from our team dedicated full time for 6 months as Supply Coordinator for the campaign,
•Invitation to our personnel to participate in the project: for each box donated to Seamos Uno by an employee, we donated two additional boxes. As a result, $1,814,524 were raised and 76 employees joined the campaign.
In Brazil, we support several local schools, kindergartens, homes for the elderly and APAEs (local associations to support seriously deficient in the community) with financial investment and training to improve social management. Because of these initiatives, ABRINQ Foundation as Child Friendly Company certified the Monte Alegre unit.
Internship Program
The purpose of our internship program is to promote the development of highly qualified professionals for the community by providing first-time work experience, good quality training and access to highly technology-oriented operations. We seek to facilitate interns’ future access to the job market while detecting potential key employees. The interns actively participate in the TAG training program, which includes monthly technical meetings, external training and farm tours. In order to accomplish these goals we promote institutional relationships with local and international universities and high schools. Over 331 interns have participated in our program during the last 15 years, of which 94 were subsequently incorporated into our teams.

This Agreement was mutually terminated on July 11, 2019 with effects as of December 31, 2019.
Brazil
Sugar Sale Agreements
In 2020, our largest three customers in this segment comprised approximately 72% of our sugar sales agreements. Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema S.A. (via Adecoagro Uruguay S.A.) entered into sugar sales agreements with Louis Dreyfus Commodities, Suisse S.A, Engelhart Commodities Trading Partners (formerly known as BTG Pactual Commodities) and Viterra B.V. (formerly known as Glencore Agriculture B.V.), pursuant to which Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema S.A. agreed to supply approximately 445,000 metric tons of Brazilian VHP (very high polarization). This specific amount of sugar was delivered during the 2020 harvest year in Paranaguá port, and the price was fixed in reference to the ICE Sugar N°11 Futures.

Electric Energy Agreements
Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema S.A. entered into an agreement for the sale of energy to CCEE. This agreement is a result of a public auction by the Brazilian federal government in August 2008, carries a term of 15 years, and requires Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema S.A. to supply CCEE with 87,600 MWh annually during the harvest periods each year (April to December), at a rate of R$196.41/MWh. The price of energy under the contract is adjusted annually according to inflation.
In August 2010, Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema S.A. participated in a public auction by the Brazilian federal government. As a result of this auction, Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema S.A. entered into second 15-year agreement with CCEE starting in 2011, for the sale of 131,400 MWh per year at a rate of R$265.03/MWh.
Intellectual Property
As of April 2021, our corporate group owned 38 trademarks registered with the Argentine National Intellectual Property Institute and had 11 trademarks in the process of registration. Also, Adeco Brasil and UMA owned 17 trademarks registered with the Brazilian National Industrial Property Institute (“INPI”), and had submitted 10 trademark registration requests, all of which are currently being challenged by third parties or were initially denied by INPI. In addition, Adeco Agropecuaria Brasil S.A. had submitted one trademark for registration. Agroglobal S.A. (now Adecoagro Uruguay S.A.) has one trademark registered in Uruguay.
In Argentina, we are required to renew our trademark registrations when they expire at the end of their respective terms. Under the Argentine Trade and Service Marks Law No. 22,362, the term of duration of a registered trademark is 10 years from its issue date, and a trademark may be indefinitely renewed for equal periods thereafter if, within the five-year period prior to each expiration, the trademark was used in the marketing of a product, in the rendering of a service or as the designation of an activity.
In Brazil, title to a trademark is acquired only once its valid registration has been issued by the INPI. During the registration process, the person requesting the trademark merely has an expectation of the right to use the trademark to identify its products or services. Under Law No. 9,279, of May 14, 1996 (the Brazilian Industrial Property Law), the holder of a trademark has the right to its exclusive use throughout Brazil. The term of duration of a registered trademark is 10 years from its issue date, and a trademark may be indefinitely renewed for equal periods thereafter. Within a five-year period from the issue date, the owner has an obligation to use the trademark in the marketing of a product, in the rendering of a service or as the designation of an activity. If the owner does not use the trademark within such five-year period, it may be subject to a forfeiture process, upon request of any third party with legitimate interest in the trademark. The same forfeiture process may occur if the owner fails to use the trademark for any five-year period, continuously. If the trademark is declared forfeited, the trademark rights are terminated.
Insurance
The type and level of insurance coverage we obtain is determined based on consultation with leading insurance brokers. We carry policies with leading U.S., European, and local insurance companies, and we are currently insured against a variety of risks, including losses and damages relating to our plants, equipment and buildings. We believe our level of insurance coverage is customary and appropriate for a company of our size and with respect to our activities. Our insurance currently covers only part of the losses we may incur and does not cover losses on crops due to hail storms, fires or similar risks.
Legal and Administrative Proceedings
In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving tax, social security, labor lawsuits and other matters. We accrue liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. See “Item 8. Financial Information-A. Consolidated Statements and Other Financial Information-Legal and Administrative Proceedings.”
Environmental Regulations and Compliance
Our businesses in the various emerging market countries in which we operate are subject to comprehensive national, state and municipal laws and regulations relating to the preservation and protection of the environment to which those businesses must adhere. These laws and regulations require some of our businesses to obtain permits or licenses that have to be renewed periodically in order to allow us to continue to operate. If such permits or licenses lapse or are not renewed or if we fail to obtain any required environmental licenses and permits, or if we do not comply with any other requirements or obligations established under the applicable environmental laws and regulations, we may be subject to fines or criminal sanctions and might face partial or total suspension of our operations and suspension or cancellation of our environmental licenses and permits. In
101

addition, our businesses which hold debt from banks, and multilateral lenders in particular, are typically required to adhere to environmental standards that exceed those of the country in which the business operates (e.g., World Bank standards).
We are currently either in compliance with or are in the process of applying for permits that would put us in compliance with all applicable environmental laws and environmental licenses and permits. Specifically, the operational license of UMA is valid, having been issued on September 5, 2016, valid for 8 years. On June 10, 2014, we applied for the renewal of the operational license for the Angélica mill, which have been issued on March 29, 2019, authorizing to mill up to 6.5 million tons of sugarcane per year, valid until March 28, 2023. On April 24, 2015, we obtained an installation license (licença de instalação) for the Ivinhema mill authorizing her installation. On July 23, 2015, we obtained the operational license (licença de operação) from IMASUL authorizing us to mill up to 5 million tons of sugarcane per year. Currently, the operational license (licença de operação) of the Ivinhema mill is been renewed. The request was filed on March 20, 2019, and on December 03, 2019, we obtained an environmental declaration (declaração ambiental) valid for 12 months authorizing the grinding up to 7.2 million tons. In addition to the installation and operational license, the Ivinhema mill also obtained other permits including licenses for water capture and gas station operation, among others. Failure to obtain the necessary environmental licenses may prevent us from operating the Ivinhema mill or may subject us to sanctions.
Our operating businesses have the required environmental monitoring, equipment and procedures, and we utilize third-party contractors to conduct regular environmental audits. Our environmental expenses relate to consultants we use to perform environmental impact studies for our development projects and control and monitoring procedures. However, as environmental regulations are expected to become more stringent in some of the countries where we operate, our environmental compliance costs are likely to increase due to the cost of compliance with any future environmental regulations. While we are not aware of any material environmental liabilities related to our ongoing operations, we may be subject to cleanup costs, which we do not expect to be material.
Regulation and Control of Agri-Food Production in Argentina
The National Office of Agricultural Commerce Control (Oficina Nacional de Control Comercial Agropecuario, or “ONCCA”) created on November 27, 1996, as a decentralized entity of the Ministry of Agriculture was the agency responsible for controlling the commercialization and manufacturing of agricultural livestock, meat and dairy products in Argentina.
As of February 25, 2011 the ONCCA was dissolved pursuant to Decree No. 192/2011. The faculties previously held by the ONCCA have been transferred to the Ministry of Agriculture and to an entity (Unidad de Coordinación y Evaluación de Subsidios al Consumo Interno or “UCESCI”, after its acronym in Spanish) created by means of Decree No. 193/2011. Such entity was then dissolved by means of Decree No. 444/2017, which provided that the powers granted to the former UCESCI will be carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture. As a result, the Ministry of Agriculture is the enforcement authority of the decrees issued by the ONCCA and is in charge of monitoring the agricultural compliance with the commercialization regulations. The Ministry Agriculture will be responsible for the administration, allocation and payment of subsidies for wheat, corn and soybean, and will be in charge of the registry for the export of cattle.
Under applicable regulations, all persons involved in the commercialization and manufacturing of grains and dairy products must be registered with the Registry of Operators of the Agro-industrial Chain (Registro Único de Operadores de la Cadena Agroindustrial or “RUCA” after its acronym in Spanish), which provides for registration of any individual or company involved in the trade and industrialization of agri-food products in the markets for grains, livestock and dairy products and their by-products and/or derivatives, in the terms provided by Resolution No. 302/2012, as amended, issued by the Ministry of Agriculture. This registration must be renewed each year. Grain producers must stock grains at facilities and must keep a record of the grain stock stored at such facilities. Failure to register with the RUCA, or cancellation of such registration, will lead to requirements that the operator cease its operating activities and closure its facilities.
On February 26, 2014 the AFIP issued Resolution No. 3,593/14, which came into force on April 1, 2014, and established a Systematic Registration of Movements and Grains Stocks Regime (Régimen de Registración Sistemática de Movimientos y Existencias de Granos) by which all persons involved in the commercialization and manufacturing of grains and dairy products registered with the RUCA must report the stock and stock variations (including locations, transport between the producer’s facilities, etc.) of all grains other agricultural products (other than those to be applied to sowing) held in their own or other third party’s name.
In the event of a violation of any of the applicable regulations, sanctions may be imposed, including fines and suspension or cancellation of the registration, which would result in the immediate cessation of activities and closure of facilities.

Description of recent changes to our accounting policies
The Company has changed its accounting policy for the presentation of finance income/expenses. Until June 2020, the Company had elected not to segregate the impact of inflation on financial results. The company has decided to change its presentation policy and segregate the impact of inflation over financial results, considering the segregation of such effects provides reliable and more relevant information. Financial results will be presented reflecting interest and exchange difference, net of its inflation effects. This change represents only a reclassification within Financial results and does not have any impact on total financial results, net or net income. This change has been reflected in the comparative periods, thus, comparative figures have been restated. See Note 34 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Overview
We are engaged in agricultural, manufacturing and land transformation activities. Our agricultural activities consist of harvesting certain agricultural products, including crops (soybeans, corn, wheat, etc.), rough rice, and sugarcane, for sale to third parties and for internal use as inputs in our various manufacturing processes, and producing fluid milk. Our manufacturing activities consist of (i) selling manufactured products, including processed rice, sugar, ethanol and energy, among others, (ii) since April 2019, in our acquired milk facilities we produce UHT and UP milk, powder milk and semi-hard cheese, among others; and (iii) providing services, such as grain warehousing and conditioning and handling and drying services, among others. Our land transformation activities consist of the acquisition of farmlands or businesses with underdeveloped or underutilized agricultural land and implementing production technology and agricultural best practices to enhance yields and increase the value of the land. Please see also "“Item 3. Key Information-D. Risk Factors —Risks Related to Argentina-
103

Argentine law concerning foreign ownership of rural properties may adversely affect our results of operations and future investments in rural properties in Argentina" and "“Item 3. Key Information-D. Risk Factors —Risks Related to Brazil- Recent changes in Brazilian rules concerning foreign investment in rural properties may adversely affect our investments."
We are organized into three main lines of business: farming; land transformation; and sugar, ethanol and energy. These lines of business consist of six reportable operating segments, which are evaluated by the chief operating decision-maker based upon their economic characteristics, the nature of the products they offer, their production processes and their type and class of customers and distribution methods. Our farming business is comprised of four reportable operating segments: Crops, Rice, Dairy, and All Other Segments. Each of our Sugar, Ethanol and Energy and Land Transformation lines of business is also a reportable operating segment. Please see – Operating Segments” for a discussion of our six operating reportable segments.
There are significant economic differences between our agricultural and manufacturing activities. In addition to our agricultural activities, we perform manufacturing activities in the Crops (including peanut and sunflower products), Dairy, Rice and Sugar, Ethanol and Energy segments. Our other agricultural activities including those within Crops and All Other Segments do not involve further manufacturing processes. The table below sets forth our agricultural and manufacturing activities by segment.

Segment |  | Agricultural Product |  | Manufactured Product and Services Rendered
Crops |  | Soybean, Corn, Wheat, Sunflower and Peanuts among others |  | Grain drying and conditioning
Rice |  | Rough rice |  | White rice and brown rice
Dairy |  | Fluid milk |  | UHT and UP milk, powder milk and semi-hard cheese, among others
Sugar, Ethanol and Energy |  | Sugarcane |  | Sugar, Ethanol and Energy

Manufacturing Activities
The gross profit of our manufacturing activities is a function of our sales of manufactured products and services rendered and the related costs of manufacturing those products or delivering those services. We recognize an amount of revenue representing the actual dollar amount collected or to be collected from our customers. Our principal costs consist of raw materials, labor and social security expenses, maintenance and repairs, depreciation, lubricants and other fuels, among others. We obtain our raw materials principally from our own agricultural activities and, to a lesser extent, from third parties.
Agricultural Activities
Our agricultural activities involve the management of the biological transformation of biological assets into agricultural produce for sale to third parties, or into agricultural products that we use in our manufacturing activities. We measure our biological assets and agricultural produce in accordance with IAS 41 "Agriculture." IAS 41 requires biological assets to be measured on initial recognition and at each balance sheet date at their fair value less cost to sell, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of income as they occur. As market prices are generally not available for biological assets while they are growing, we use the present value of expected net cash flows as a valuation technique to determine fair value, as further discussed below in "-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates." ln addition, agricultural produce at the point of harvest is measured at fair value less cost to sell, which is generally determined by reference to the quoted market price in the relevant market. Consequently, the gains and losses arising on initial recognition and changes in fair value of our biological assets and the initial recognition of our agricultural produce at the point of harvest are accounted for in the statement of income in the line item "lnitial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce."
After agricultural produce is harvested, we may hold it in inventory at net realizable value up to the point of sale, which includes market selling price less direct selling expenses, with changes in net realizable value recognized in the statement of income when they occur. When we sell our inventory, we sell at the prevailing market price and we incur direct selling expenses.
We generally recognize the agricultural produce held in inventory at net realizable value with changes recognized in the statement of income as they occur. Therefore, changes in net realizable value represent the difference in value from the last measurement through the date of sale on an aggregated basis.
We consider gains and losses recorded in the line items of the statement of income "lnitial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce" and "Changes in net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest"
104

to be realized only when the related produce or manufactured product is sold to third parties and, therefore, converted into cash or other financial assets. Therefore, "realized" gains or losses mean that the related produce or product has been sold and the proceeds are included in revenues for the year. Please see “–Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates – Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce” for a discussion of the accounting treatment, financial statement, presentation and disclosure related to our agricultural activities.
Land Transformation
The Land Transformation segment includes two types of operations. The first relates to the acquisition of farmlands or businesses with underdeveloped or underutilized agricultural land (land which we have identified as capable of being transformed into more productive farmland by enhancing yields and increasing its future value). When we acquire a farmland business for an acquisition price below its estimated fair value, we recognize an immediate gain (a "purchase bargain gain"). The land acquired is recognized at its fair value at the acquisition date and is subsequently recorded under the revaluation model based on periodic, but at least annual, valuations prepared by an external independent expert.
The second type of operation undertaken within this segment relates to the realization of value through the strategic disposition of assets (i.e. farmland) that may have reached full development potential. Once we believe certain land has reached full growth potential, we may decide to realize such incremental value through the disposition of the land.
The results of these two activities (purchase bargain gains as a result of opportunistic acquisitions of businesses with underdeveloped or underutilized land below fair market value, and gains on dispositions reflecting the ultimate realization of cash value on dispositions of transformed farmlands) are included separately in the Land Transformation segment.
Land transformation activities themselves are not reflected in this segment; rather, they are reflected in all of our other agricultural activities in other segments. The results of our land transformation strategy are realized as a separate activity upon disposition of transformed farmlands and other rural properties.

A. OPERATING RESULTS
Trends and Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
COVID-19
The global impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and measures taken to reduce the spread of the virus have had an adverse effect on the global macroeconomic environment, and may continue to create continued economic uncertainty and reduced economic activity. The outbreak has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place or total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns.
The speed and extent of the spread of COVID-19, and the duration and intensity of resulting business disruption and related financial and social impact, are still uncertain, and such adverse effects on our business and financial position may still be material.
In Brazil, the government created a crisis committee to monitor the impact of COVID-19 in March 2020. Since then, it has announced several measures (tax and others) to address the effects of COVID-19. In this regard, the Brazilian health authorities, as well as several state and municipal authorities have adopted or recommended social distancing measures.
In Argentina, on March 20, 2020 the Argentine government implemented a social, preventive and mandatory isolation regime, prohibiting the circulation of people on routes, roads and public spaces (the “Mandatory Isolation Regime”) which has already been partially reverted as of the day of this report.
As of the date of this report, the activities pursued by our Argentine subsidiaries, related to agricultural production, distribution and commercialization, were exempted from the Mandatory Isolation Regime for being considered “essential” activities. Also our activities in Brazil have no restrictions.
Company measures
Since COVID-19 was declared pandemic by the World Health Organization, the Company committed to provide a safe environment for its employees and contractors, and immediately prepared measures and developed safety protocols to mitigate the eventual risk of being affected by the disease, and to prevent an uncontrolled spread of COVID-19 through the operations of its subsidiaries. Adecoagro has enacted Prevention and Action Protocols tailored for each facility and activity, in addition to constituting Crisis Committees.
Measures taken include but are not limited to: (i) body temperature controls at entrances of each facility and other critical check points, (ii) mandatory distancing in the workplace, (iii) maximum limit of people in the conferences rooms, lunch room and vehicles (iv) sanitary barriers, (v) special protective attire and masks, (vi) mandatory quarantines for those who have been in contact with travelers or with symptomatic persons, (vii) training programs and information about how to prevent the risks of transmission of COVID-19, (viii) hired an infectious disease specialist to further assess on site. Additionally, remote work has been guaranteed for the duration of the Pandemic for employees based in central offices, and a rotation scheme has been implemented for administrative employees based in the farms or industrial facilities.
All our businesses are operating without any major disruption both at the farm and industry levels. However, if the current situation deteriorates and infection rates increase, or a new wave of COVID-19 or other disease spreads, we may be affected in our operations and financial results. Our Sugar & Ethanol business has been negatively affected by the economic turmoil unleashed by the spread of COVID-19 in Brazil, in addition to the collapse in the international price of oil. Demand for ethanol has dropped 60% since March as a consequence of the lockdown, and might continue if the lockdown persists (see“Item 3. Key Information-D. Risk Factors —Risks Related to Our Business and Industries — Ethanol prices are correlated to the price of sugar and are also closely correlated to the price of oil, so that a decline in the price of sugar or a decline in the price of oil will adversely affect our sugar and ethanol businesses" and "We may be exposed to risks related to health epidemics, and the COVID-19 in particular, that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and results of operations").Most of our businesses are operating without any major disruption both at the farm and industry level as well as on the road and at the ports. However, the demand of our products, mainly ethanol in Brazil, has been reduced as a consequence of the lockdown decided by the authorities in connection with the pandemic. Nevertheless, we are optimizing our production mix, in order to mitigate such reduction in demand.
The Company is closely monitoring the situation and taking all necessary measures at its disposal to preserve human life and its operation.
106

In the first six months of 2020, our Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business, experienced a decrease in prices of ethanol due to the decrease in international oil prices, and a decrease in demand as a consequence of the reduced circulation of people in response to the pandemic. In light of these factors, we slowed down our crushing pace, implemented a cost reduction plan and maintained the workforce sized to our operational needs. As signs of a partial recovery started to emerge, we revamped our operations and accelerated our crushing pace during the second semester, more than offsetting the lower initial crushing.
Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the future spread of COVID-19 or its variants and the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, it is not possible to predict the COVID-19’s effects on the industry, generally, and to reasonably estimate the long-term financial impact on the Company.
(ii) Effects of Yield Fluctuations
The occurrence of severe adverse weather conditions, especially droughts, hail, floods or frost, are unpredictable and may have a potentially devastating impact on agricultural production and may otherwise adversely affect the supply and prices of the agricultural commodities that we sell and use in our business. The effects of severe adverse weather conditions may also reduce yields at our farms (i.e. during April and November 2019 we suffered of drought in Mato Grosso do Sul, which had a major impact in sugarcane yields decrease for the year). Yields may also be affected by plague, disease or weed infection and operational problems.
The following table sets forth our average crop, rice and sugarcane yields per hectare for the periods indicated:

| 2019/2020 |  | 2018/2019 |  | 2017/2018 |  | % Change
| Harvest Year (1) |  | Harvest Year (1) |  | Harvest Year (1) |  | 2019/2020 -2018/2019 |  | 2018/2019 -2017/2018
Corn (2) | 6.0 |  |  | 6.5 |  |  | 4.9 |  |  | (7.7) | % |  | 32.7 | %
Soybean | 2.7 |  |  | 3.2 |  |  | 2.5 |  |  | (15.6) | % |  | 28.0 | %
Soybean (second harvest) | 2.0 |  |  | 1.4 |  |  | 1.2 |  |  | 42.9 | % |  | 16.7 | %
Wheat (3) | 3.2 |  |  | 2.9 |  |  | 2.2 |  |  | 10.3 | % |  | 31.8 | %
Peanut | 3.3 |  |  | 3.1 |  |  | 2.1 |  |  | 6.5 | % |  | 47.6 | %
Sunflower | 1.9 |  |  | 1.6 |  |  | 1.8 |  |  | 18.8 | % |  | (11.1) | %
Rice | 6.7 |  |  | 5.9 |  |  | 6.9 |  |  | 13.6 | % |  | (14.5) | %
Sugarcane (4) | 79.0 |  |  | 75.6 |  |  | 89.3 |  |  | 4.5 | % |  | (15.3) | %

(1) This column reflects the full harvest season.
(2) Includes sorghum and chia.
(3) Includes barley, rye, oats, chickpea and black pea.
(4) Does not consider harvested area for planting activities.
(iii) Effects of Fluctuations in Production Costs
We experience fluctuations in our production costs due to the fluctuation in the costs of (i) fertilizers, (ii) agrochemicals, (iii) seeds, (iv) fuel, (v) farm leases and (vi) labor. The use of advanced technology, however, allows us to increase our efficiency, in large part mitigating the fluctuations in production costs. Some examples of how the implementation of production technology has allowed us to increase our efficiency and reduce our costs include the use of no-till technology (also known as “direct sowing”, which involves farming without the use of tillage, leaving plant residues on the soil to form a protective cover which positively impacts costs, yields and the soil), crop rotation, second harvest in one year, integrated pest management, and balanced fertilization techniques to increase the productive efficiency in our farmland. Increased mechanization of harvesting and planting operations in our sugarcane plantations and utilization of modern, high pressure boilers in our sugar and ethanol mills has also yielded higher rates of energy production per ton of sugarcane milled.
(iv) Effects of Fluctuations in Commodities Prices
Commodity prices have historically experienced substantial fluctuation. For example, between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, sugar prices increased by 18.0%, according to Intercontinental Exchange of New York (“ICE-NY”) data, and ethanol prices increased by 1.5%, according to Escola Superior de Agricultura “Luiz de Queiroz” (“ESALQ”) data. Also, based on Chicago Board of Trade (“CBOT”) data, from January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020, soybean prices increased 39.5% and corn prices increased by 24.8%. Commodity price fluctuations impact our consolidated statement of income as follows:
107

•Initial recognition and changes in the fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce in respect of unharvested biological assets undergoing biological transformation;
•Changes in net realizable value of agricultural produce for inventory carried at its net realizable value; and
•Sales of manufactured products and agricultural produce to third parties.
The rapid and widening spread of the COVID-19 impacted the price of the products we sell (i.e.sugar, ethanol, corn, powder milk among others) due to the lower demand and economic activity worldwide. During the first quarter of 2020, sugar prices decreased by 20% according to ICE-NY, ethanol prices decreased 24% according to ESALQ and corn prices decreased by 12.1% based on CBOT. However, during the second semester of the year prices recovered reverting the downside .
The following graphs show the spot market price of some of our products for the periods indicated:

(v) Fiscal Year and Harvest Year
Our fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31 of each year. However, our production is based on the harvest year for each of our crops and rice. A harvest year varies according to the crop or rice plant and to the climate in which it is grown. Due to the geographic diversity of our farms, the planting period for a given crop or rice may start earlier on one farm than on another, causing differences for their respective harvesting periods. The presentation of production volume (tons) and production area (hectares) in this report in respect of the harvest years for each of our crops and rice starts with the first day of the planting period at the first farm to start planting in that harvest year to the last day of the harvesting period of the crop or rice planting on the last farm to finish harvesting that harvest year.
On the other hand, production volumes for dairy and production volume and production area for sugar, ethanol and energy business are presented on a fiscal year basis.
The financial results in respect of all of our products are presented on a fiscal year basis.
(vi) Effects of Fluctuations of the Production Area
Our results of operations also depend on the size of the production area. The size of our own and leased area devoted to crop, rice and sugarcane production fluctuates from period to period in connection with the purchase and development of new farmland, the sale of developed farmland, the lease of new farmland and the termination of existing farmland lease agreements. Lease
108

agreements are usually settled following the harvest season, from July to September for crops and rice, and from May to April for sugarcane. The length of the lease agreements is usually one year for crops, one to five years for rice and five to six years for one-cycle sugarcane or twelve to fourteen years for two-cycle of sugarcane. Regarding crops, the production area can be planted and harvested one or two times per year. As an example, wheat can be planted in July and harvested in December. Right after its harvest, soybean can be planted in the same area and harvested in April. As a result, planted and harvested area can exceed the production area during one year. The production area for sugarcane can exceed the harvested area in one year. Grown sugarcane can be left in the fields and then harvested the following year.
The following table sets forth the production area for the periods indicated:

| Year ended December 31, |  |  |  |
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | Chg (%) 2020-2019 |  | Chg (%) 2019-2018
|  |  | Hectares |  |  |  |  |  |
Crops (1) | 161,705 |  |  | 152,976 |  |  | 153,970 |  |  | 5.7 | % |  | (0.6) | %
Rice | 41,544 |  |  | 40,417 |  |  | 40,289 |  |  | 2.8 | % |  | 0.3 | %
Sugar, Ethanol and Energy | 176,651 |  |  | 166,041 |  |  | 153,690 |  |  | 6.4 | % |  | 8.0 | %

(1) Does not include second crop and forage area.
The increase in Crop production area in 2020 is explained by the increase in leased area included in our rotation model that has a higher mix of peanut and sunflower area in the current harvest season. The increase in sugar, ethanol and energy production area in 2020 is explained by the increase in leased hectares that provide sufficient cane supply for the entire year in accordance with the long-term growth plan of the company.
(vii) Effect of Acquisitions, dispositions and land transformation
Our business model includes the transformation of pasture and unproductive land into land suitable for growing various crops and the transformation of inefficient farms into farms suitable for more efficient uses through the implementation of advanced and sustainable agricultural practices, such as "no-till" technology and crop rotation. During approximately the first three to five years of the land transformation process of any given parcel, we must invest heavily in transforming the land, and, accordingly, crop yields during such period tend to be lower than crop yields once the land is completely transformed. After the transformation process has been completed, the land requires less investment, and crop yields gradually increase. As a result, there may be variations in our results from one season to the next according to the amount of land in the process of transformation.
Our business model also includes the identification, acquisition, development and selective disposition of farmlands or other rural properties that after implementing agricultural best practices and increasing crop yields, we believe have the potential to appreciate in terms of their market value. As a part of this strategy, we purchase and sell farms and other rural properties from time to time. Please see also “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Argentina-Argentine law concerning foreign ownership of rural properties may adversely affect our results of operations and future investments in rural properties in Argentina” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Brazil—Changes in Brazilian rules concerning foreign investment in rural properties may adversely affect our investments.” included in “Item 3. Risk Factors”.
The results included in the Land Transformation segment are related to the acquisition and disposition of farmland businesses and not to the physical transformation of the land. The decision to acquire and/or dispose of a farmland business depends on several market factors that vary from period to period, rendering the results of these activities in one financial period when an acquisition of disposition occurs not directly comparable to the results in other financial periods when no acquisitions or dispositions occurred.
Our results of operations for earlier periods that do not include a recently completed acquisition or do include farming operations subsequently disposed of may not be comparable to the results of a more recent period that reflects the results of such acquisition or disposition. During 2020 we sold 811.7 hectares for a total consideration of $12.1 million in connection with the partial disposition of the "Abolengo" farm "Abolengo", located in Argentina's humid Pampas; and we also sold 4,633 hectares in connection with the disposition of "Huelen farm", located in the Province of La Pampa, Argentina, for a total consideration of $30.1 million of which $10.1 million were collected at the closing date.

(viii) Macroeconomic Developments in Emerging Markets
We generate nearly all of our revenue from the production of food and renewable energy in emerging markets. Therefore, our operating results and financial condition are directly impacted by macroeconomic and fiscal developments, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates, inflation and interest rate fluctuations, in those markets. The emerging markets where we conduct our business (including Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay) remain subject to such fluctuations.
Please refer to Item 4 - Information about the Company - Business Overview - COVID-19, for additional information concerning the COVID-19 pandemic. See also "“Item 3. Key Information-D. Risk Factors — Risk related to Argentina — The measures taken or to be implemented by the Argentine government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have an adverse effect on our business and operations.” and “We may be exposed us to risks related to health epidemics, and the COVID-19 in particular, that could adversely impact our ability to operate our business and results of operations.” and “The measures taken or to be implemented by the Brazilian government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may cause adverse effect on our business and operations.”
(ix) Effects of Export Taxes on Our Products
Following the economic and financial crisis experienced by Argentina in 2002, the Argentine government increased export taxes on agricultural products. Since December 2015, the only product that had remained subject to export taxes was soybean and its derivatives. However, in September 2018 due to economic volatility, the government imposed a 12% export tax on all goods exported from Argentina. A 12% export tax was imposed on the FOB export price of “primary product” goods (including agricultural goods), subject to a cap of four pesos (ARS 4) per U.S. dollar of the corresponding tax value or official FOB price for primary product goods. For all other products, the cap amount was fixed at three pesos (ARS 3) per U.S. dollar of the corresponding tax value or official FOB price. In December 2019, after a change in Argentina government administration, export taxes were adjusted as per the following table:

Product | Export tax | Cap per dollar exported
Soybean and derivatives | 33% | — |
Corn | 12% | — |
Wheat | 12% | — |
Peanut | 7% | — |
Sunflower | 5% | — |
Cotton | 5% | — |
Rice | 5% | — |
UHT Milk | 12% | $3/usd
Powder Milk | 9% | — |
Cheese | 12% | $3/usd

As local prices are determined taking into consideration the export parity reference, any increase or decrease in export taxes would affect our results of operations.
(x) Effects of Foreign Currency Fluctuations
Each of our Argentine, Brazilian and Uruguayan subsidiaries uses local currency as its functional currency. A significant portion of our operating costs in Argentina are denominated in Argentine Pesos and most of our operating costs in Brazil are denominated in Brazilian Reais. For each of our subsidiaries’ statements of income, foreign currency transactions are translated into the local currency, as such subsidiaries’ functional currency, using the exchange rates prevailing as of the dates of the relevant specific transactions. Exchange differences resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the consolidated statement of income ("statement of income") under “finance income” or “finance costs,” as applicable. Our Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars, and foreign exchange differences that arise in the translation process are disclosed in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
As of December 31, 2020, the Peso-U.S. dollar exchange rate was Ars. 84.2 per U.S. dollar as compared to Ars. 59.9 per U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2020, the Real-U.S. dollar exchange rate was R$5.2 per U.S. dollar as compared to R$4.02 per U.S. dollar as of December 31, 2019.
The following graph shows the Argentine Peso-U.S. dollar rate and the Real-U.S. dollar rate of exchange for the periods indicated:
110

Our principal foreign currency fluctuation risk involves changes in the value of the Brazilian Reais and the Argentine Peso relative to the U.S. dollar. Periodically, we evaluate our exposure and consider opportunities to mitigate the effects of currency fluctuations by entering into currency forward contracts and other hedging instruments.
(xi) Seasonality
Our business activities are inherently seasonal. We generally harvest and sell corn, soybean, rice and sunflower between February and August, and wheat from December to January. With the implementation of “continuous harvest”, sugarcane production is more stable during the year; however, the typical harvesting period in Brazil begins between April and May and ends between November and December. Sales of ethanol are generally concentrated during off-season to capture higher seasonal prices. Sales in other business segments, such as in our Dairy segment, tend to be more stable. However, milk sales are generally higher during the fourth quarter, when weather conditions are more favorable for production. As a result of the above factors, there may be significant variations in our results of operations from one quarter to another, since planting activities may be more concentrated in one quarter whereas harvesting activities may be more concentrated in another quarter. In addition, our quarterly results may vary as a result of the effects of fluctuations in commodity prices and production yields and costs related to the “Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce” line item. See “—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates-Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce.”
(xii) Capital Expenditures and Other Investments
Our capital expenditures during the last five years consisted mainly of expenses related to (i) transforming and increasing the productivity of our land, (ii) planting sugarcane and (iii) expanding and upgrading our production facilities in concordance to our 5-year plan presented in 2017. Capital expenditures (including both maintenance and expansion) totaled $219.7 million for the period ended December 31, 2018, $257.0 million for the period ended December 31, 2019; and $166.8 million for the period ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in 2020 compared to 2019 is primarily due to a 56.1% decrease in expansion capex year-over-year, concluding the investment cycle that started in 2017. See also “Capital Expenditure Commitments.”
(xiii) Effects of Corporate Taxes on Our Income
We are subject to a variety of taxes on our results of operations. The following table shows the applicable income tax rates in effect for 2020:

| Tax Rate (%)
Argentina(1) | 30
Brazil(2) | 34
Uruguay | 25
Spain | 25
Luxembourg | 24.94

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS. The critical accounting policies are policies important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results, and which require management to make difficult and subjective judgments that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified the following significant accounting policies as critical to the understanding of our Consolidated Financial Statements. The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. The principal area where our management is required to make significant judgments about estimates where actual results could differ materially from such estimates is in the carrying amount of our biological assets. These estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates and judgments are made. We continually evaluate our judgments, estimates and assumptions. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our Consolidated Financial Statements will be affected.
The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates are consistent with those described in Note 33 to our Audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce
Before harvest, our crops are biological assets. Subsequent to harvest, biological transformation ceases and the harvested crops meet the definition of agricultural produce under IAS 41 “Biological Assets.” As prescribed by IAS 41, we measure growing crops which have not attained significant biological growth at cost less any impairment losses, which approximates fair value. Capitalized expenses for growing crops include land preparation expenses and other direct production expenses incurred during the sowing period including costs of labor, fuel, seeds, agrochemical and fertilizer, among others. We measure biological assets (at initial recognition, when the biological asset has attained significant biological growth, and at each subsequent measurement reporting date) and agricultural produce at the point of harvest at fair value less selling costs. The objective of the fair value model under IAS 41 is to recognize gains and losses arising from such measurements gradually over the asset’s life rather than only on sale or realization. IAS 41 prescribes, among other things, the accounting treatment for biological assets during the period of growth, degeneration, production and procreation, and for the initial measurement of agricultural produce at the point of harvest.
We account for agricultural produce after harvest as inventory, as further described below.
The following table sets forth the way in which we value biological assets and agricultural produce for each of our principal products:
112

| Biological Asset |  |  |  |
| No significant biological growth |  | Significant biological growth |  | Agricultural Produce |  | Manufactured Product
Crops | Crop from planting to approximately 60 days thereafter |  | Crop, from approximately 60 days after planting up to the moment of harvest (total period of approximately 3 to 5 months). |  | Harvested crop (soybean, corn, wheat, peanut, sunflower, etc.) |  | Processed peanut and sunflower
Rice | Rice plant from planting to approximately 60 days thereafter |  | Rice plant, from approximately 60 days after planting up to the moment of harvest (total period of approximately 3 to 4 months). |  | Harvested rough rice |  | Processed rice (white rice) and rice snacks
Dairy | Dairy cow is considered a biological asset from birth/purchase to death or sale. |  | Fluid milk |  | Processed milk (UHT milk, Powder milk, Cheese)
Cattle | Beef cattle are considered a biological asset from birth/purchase to death or sale. |  | N/A |  | N/A
Sugar, ethanol and energy | The produce derived from the sugarcane from planting or after harvest up to approximately 30 days thereafter |  | The produce derived from the sugarcane, from approximately 30 days after planting until harvest (total period of 10 to 14 months) |  | Sugarcane |  | Sugar, ethanol and energy
Valuation Criteria | Cost, which approximates fair value less accumulated impairment losses, if any. For dairy and cattle, fair value less estimated cost to sell. |  | Fair value (using discounted cash flow valuation) less cost to sell. |  | Net realizable value, except for rough rice and milk which are valued at cost. |  | Cost

Gains and losses that arise from measuring biological assets at fair value less selling costs and measuring agricultural produce at the point of harvest at fair value less selling costs are recognized in the statement of income in the period in which they arise as “Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce.” We value our inventories of agricultural produce after harvest at net realizable value, except for rough rice, which is valued at cost.
When an active market exists for biological assets, we use the quoted market price in the most relevant market as a basis to determine the fair value of our biological assets, as in the case of cattle. For other biological assets where there is neither an active market nor market-determined prices during the growth cycle, we determine their fair value through the use of discounted cash flow valuation techniques. Therefore, we generally derive the fair value of our growing biological assets from the expected cash flow of the related agricultural produce. The discounted cash flow method requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including observable and unobservable data. Generally, the estimation of the fair value of biological assets is based on models or inputs that are not observable in the market, and the use of unobservable inputs is significant to the overall valuation of the assets. Various factors influence the availability of observable inputs, including, but not limited to, the type of asset and its location, climate changes and the technology used, among others.
Unobservable inputs are determined based on the best information available, for example, by reference to historical information regarding past practices and results, statistical and agronomical information and other analytical techniques. Changes
113

in the assumptions underlying such subjective inputs can materially affect the fair value estimate and impact our results of operations and financial condition from period to period.
The DCF method requires the following significant inputs to project revenues and costs:
–Production cycles;
–Production area in hectares;
–Estimated crop and rice yields;
–Estimated sucrose content (Total Recoverable Sugar or TRS) for sugarcane;
–Estimated costs of harvesting and other costs to be incurred until the crops and rice reach maturity (mainly costs of pesticides, herbicides and spraying);
–Estimated transportation costs;
–Market prices; and
–Discount rates.
In contrast to biological assets whose fair value is generally determined using the DCF method, we typically determine the fair value of our agricultural produce at the point of harvest using market prices.
Market prices used in the discounted cash flow model are determined by reference to observable data in the relevant market (e.g., for crops and sugar). Harvesting costs and other costs are estimated based on historical and statistical data. Yields are estimated by our agronomic engineers based on several factors, including the location of the farmland, soil type, environmental conditions, infrastructure and other restrictions and growth at the time of measurement. Yields are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and may be affected by several factors out of our control, including but not limited to extreme or unusual weather conditions, plagues and other diseases. Discount rates reflect current market assessments of the assets involved and the time value of money.
As of December 31, 2020, the impact of a 5% increase (decrease) in estimated yields for sugarcane, with all other variables held constant, would result in an increase (decrease) in the fair value of our plantations less cost to sell of $8.0 million (for 2019 the fair value was $7.1 million). As of December 31, 2020, the impact of a 20% increase (decrease) in estimated yields for rice, with all other variables held constant, would result in an increase (decrease) in the fair value of our plantations less cost to sell of $8.6 million (for 2019 this fair value was $3.8 million) for crops and $7.3 million (2019: $6.2 million).
The significant assumptions discussed above are highly sensitive. Reasonable shifts in assumptions including but not limited to increases or decreases in prices, costs and discount factors used would result in a significant increase or decrease to the fair value of biological assets. In addition, cash flows are projected over a number of years and based on estimated production. Estimates of production in themselves are dependent on various assumptions, in addition to those described above, including but not limited to several factors such as location, environmental conditions and other restrictions. Changes in these estimates could materially impact on estimated production, and could therefore affect estimates of future cash flows used in the assessment of fair value , including the potential impacts of the COVID-19 on commodity prices used in the cash flow model.
The aggregate gains and losses arising during a period on initial recognition and from the changes in fair value less costs to sell of biological assets is affected by the way we treat our harvesting and production costs for accounting purposes. Since IAS 41 does not provide guidance on the treatment of these costs, we generally capitalize all costs directly involved with the management of biological assets. These costs may include labor, planting, fertilizers, agrochemicals, harvesting, irrigation and feeding, among others. Then, the cost of the biological asset is adjusted periodically by the re-measurement of the biological asset at fair value less cost to sell. For example, before significant biological growth is attained, costs and expenses are capitalized as biological assets, and once biological assets reach significant biological growth we adjust biological assets to fair value less cost to sell. Accordingly, capitalized biological assets are adjusted periodically at fair value less cost to sell. At the point of harvest, we recognize the agricultural produce at fair value less cost to sell. The periodic adjustments in fair value less cost to sell reflect period to period gains or losses. After agricultural produce is harvested, we may hold it in inventory at net realizable value up to the point of sale, which includes market selling price less direct selling expenses, with changes in net realizable value recognized in the statement of income as incurred. When we sell our inventory, we sell at the prevailing market price and we incur direct selling expenses.
We generally recognize the agricultural produce of crops held in inventory at net realizable value with changes recognized in the statement of income as they occur. Therefore, changes in net realizable value represent the difference in value from the last measurement through the date of sale on an aggregated basis.
We consider gains and losses recorded in the line items of the statement of income “Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce” and “Changes in net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest” to be realized only when the related produce or manufactured product is sold to third parties and, therefore, converted into cash or
114

other financial assets. Therefore, “realized” gains or losses means that the related produce or product has been sold and the proceeds are included in revenues for the year.
The sale of agricultural produce is revenue as defined in IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". However, IAS 41 does not provide guidance on the presentation of revenues and costs arising from the selling of biological assets and agricultural produce. Due to the lack of guidance in IAS 41 and based on IAS 1, “Presentation of financial statements,” we present, as a matter of accounting policy, our sales of biological assets and agricultural produce and their respective costs within the lines items “Sales of goods and services rendered” and “Cost of goods and services rendered.” See "Notes 4 and 5" to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a breakdown of sales and costs for goods sold and services rendered. The sale of agricultural produce and biological assets represents the consideration received or receivable for the sale to third parties based generally on the applicable quoted market prices of the respective produce or biological asset in the relevant markets at the point of sale. At the point of sale, our agricultural produce is measured at net realizable value, which reflects the sale price less the direct cost to sell, and our biological assets are measured at fair value less cost to sell, in each case, using the applicable quoted market prices in the relevant markets.
Based on the foregoing, the profit of our agricultural produce is recognized under the line ítems “Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce” and “Changes in net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest.” When the agricultural produce is sold to third parties we do not record any additional profit as the gain or loss had already been recognized.
The profit of our manufactured products is recognized when they are sold. The cost of manufactured products includes, among others, the cost of agricultural produce transferred internally at fair market value (i.e. harvested sugarcane, rough rice, fluid milk, etc).
Fair Value of Farmlands and investment property
Property, plant and equipment
Farmlands are recognized at fair value based on periodic, but at least annual, valuations prepared by an external independent expert. A revaluation reserve is credited in shareholders’ equity. The valuation is determined using sales Comparison Approach. Sale prices of comparable properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare (See "Note 34.5 to our Consolidated Financial Statements"). 34.1
Investment property
Investment property consists of farmland for rental or for capital appreciation and not used in production or for sale in the ordinary course of business, and it is measured at fair value. The changes of the Fair value, which is based on an independent external expert, impacts the profit and loss of the period, in the line item Other operating income, net (See "Note 14 and Note 34.6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements)."
Impairment of non-financial assets
At the date of each statement of financial position, we review the carrying amounts of our property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets could have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independently, we estimate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Our property, plant and equipment items generally do not generate independent cash flows.
In the case of Goodwill, any goodwill acquired is allocated to the cash-generating unit (‘CGU’) expected to benefit from the business combination. CGU to which goodwill is allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the CGU may be impaired. The carrying amount of the CGU is compared to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment review requires management to undertake certain significant judgments, including estimating the recoverable value of the CGU to which goodwill is allocated, based on either fair value less costs-to-sell or the value-in-use, as appropriate, in order to reach a conclusion on whether it deems the goodwill is impaired or not. (See "Note 34.1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements").
115

Income taxes
We are subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Operating Segments
IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODM evaluates the business based on the differences in the nature of its operations, products and services. The amount reported for each segment item is the measure reported to the CODM for these purposes.
The Company operates in three major lines of business, namely, Farming; Sugar, Ethanol and Energy; and Land Transformation.
•The Company’s ‘Farming’ business is further comprised of four reportable segments:
▪The Company’s ‘Crops’ segment consists of planting, harvesting and sale of grains, oilseeds and fibers (including wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton and sunflowers, among others), and to a lesser extent the provision of grain warehousing/conditioning, handling and drying services to third parties and the purchase and sale of crops produced by third parties. Each underlying crop in this segment does not represent a separate operating segment. Management seeks to maximize the use of the land through the cultivation of one or more type of crops. Types and surface amount of crops cultivated may vary from harvest year to harvest year depending on several factors, some of them out of the Company´s control. Management is focused on the long-term performance of the productive land, and to that extent, the performance is assessed considering the aggregated combination, if any, of crops planted in the land. A single manager is responsible for the management of operating activity of all crops rather than for each individual crop.
▪The Company’s ‘Rice’ segment consists of planting, harvesting, processing and marketing of rice;
▪The Company’s ‘Dairy’ segment consists of the production and sale of raw milk; and industrialized products, including UHT, cheese and powder milk among others.
▪The Company’s ‘All other segments’ segment consists of the aggregation of the remaining non-reportable operating segments, which do not meet the quantitative thresholds for disclosure and for which the Company’s management does not consider them to be of continuing significance, namely, Coffee and Cattle.
•The Company’s ‘Sugar, Ethanol and Energy’ segment consists of cultivating sugarcane which is processed in owned sugar mills, transformed into ethanol, sugar and electricity and marketed;
•The Company’s ‘Land Transformation’ segment comprises the (i) identification and acquisition of underdeveloped and undermanaged farmland businesses; and (ii) realization of value through the strategic disposition of assets (generating profits).
•The Company’s ‘Corporate’ segment comprises certain other activities of a holding function nature not allocable to the segments
116

In order to evaluate the economic performance of businesses on a monthly basis, results of operations are based on monthly data that have been adjusted for inflation and converted into the average exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar each month in Argentine subsidiaries. These already converted figures are subsequently not readjusted and reconverted. It should be noted that this translation methodology for evaluating segment information is the same that the company uses to translate results of operation from its other subsidiaries from other countries that have not been designated hyperinflationary economies because it allows for a more accurate analysis of the economic performance of its business as a whole.
The following table presents selected historical financial and operating data solely for the periods indicated below as it is used for our discussion of results of operations.

Sales of Goods and Services Rendered

Year ended December 31, | Crops |  | Rice |  | Dairy |  | All other segments |  | Sugar, Ethanol and Energy |  | Total as per statement of income
| (In thousands of $)
2020 | 168,461 |  |  | 101,862 |  |  | 133,474 |  |  | 2,508 |  |  | 411,459 |  |  | 817,764 |
2019 | 166,446 |  |  | 101,156 |  |  | 83,822 |  |  | 3,931 |  |  | 531,783 |  |  | 887,138 |

Total sales of goods and service rendered totaled $817.8 million, 7.8% lower than in 2019, primarily as a result of:
•A $120.3 million decrease in our Sugar, Ethanol and Energy segment, mainly due to: (i) a 9.1% decrease in volume of sugar and ethanol sold measured in TRS (1), from 1,648 thousand tons during 2019 to 1,498 in 2020; (ii) a 1.6% lower volume of energy sold, (iii) a 16.7% decrease in ethanol price, from $488.0 per m3 in 2019 to $406.5 per m3 in 2020, (iv) a 7.8% decrease in sugar price, from $289.6 per ton in 2019 to $266.9 per ton in 2020; and (v) a 30.0 % decrease in energy price, from $59.6 MWh in 2019 to $41.7 MWh in 2020.
The decrease in volume of sugar and ethanol sold measured in TRS was mainly due to: (i) a reduction from 106.3 thousand tons of sugar processed from third parties during 2019, to null in 2020; and (ii) a decrease of 15.0 thousand tons measured in TRS in 2019, compared to an increase in inventories from an increase of 10.4 thousand tons measured in TRS during 2020. Partially offset by (i) a 1.5% increase in production measured in TRS equivalent, from 1,508 thousand tons during 2019, to 1,531 thousand tons during 2020, mainly explained by a 90% increase in sugar production, from 337.4 tons during 2019 to 641.1 tons during 2020, our high degree of flexibility allowed us to divert our production to sugar taking advantage of the higher relative prices. The increase in production is mainly due (i) a 1.8% increase in sugarcane milled, from 10.9 million tons during 2019 to 11.1 million tons during 2020, mainly explained by an increase in daily milling capacity.
The lower volume of energy sold was mainly explained by a 17.8% decrease in cogeneration efficiency, from 78.7 KWh per ton during 2019, to 64.7 KWh per ton in 2020 due to our decision of suspending the purchase of wood chips to third parties, partially offset by a 29.2% increase in third parties energy commercialization, from 173.1 MWh in 2019 to 223.7 MWh in 2020.
121

(1)On average, one metric ton of sugarcane contains 140 kilograms of TRS. While a mill can produce either sugar or ethanol, the TRS input requirements differ between these two products. On average, 1.045 kilograms of TRS equivalent are required to produce 1.0 kilogram of sugar, while the amount of TRS required to produce 1 liter of ethanol is 1.691 kilograms
The following figure sets forth the variables that determine our Sugar and Ethanol sales:

This decrease in sales of goods and services rendered was partially offset by:
•A $49.7 million increase in our Dairy segment mainly cause by (i) a 58.7% increase in volume of dairy products sold including fluid, powder and processed milk, cream, cheese and dairy products measured in liters of milk equivalent, from 215.5 million liters in 2019, to 342.1 million liters in 2020, explained by (a) an increase of 20.9% of fluid milk production in our free-stalls, from 120.1 million liters in 2019, to 145.2 million liters in 2020, due to a 20% increase in the number of
122

cows from 9,066 average heads in 2019 to 10,876 average heads in 2020; and (b) an increase in fluid milk purchased to third parties to be processed in our industrial facilities, from 60.4 million liters in 2019 to 155.2 million liters in 2020.
This increase is partially offset by (i) a 9.7% decrease in average milk prices, from $0.31 per liter of fluid milk equivalent in 2019 to $0.28 per liter in 2020 despite new products processed with higher margins; and (ii) a negative effect of hyperinflation accounting and translation for our Argentine operations, from a negative impact of $0.9 million effect in 2019 compared to a negative impact of $2.0 million during the same period in 2020.
•A $2.0 million increase in our Crops segment mainly driven by (i) a 40.8% increase in the volume of peanut sold, from 30.6 thousand tons during 2019, to 43.1 thousand tons in 2020, driven by, (a) higher yields, from 3.1 tons per hectare in 2019 to 3.3 tons per hectare in 2020; and (b) higher planted area from 15.5 thousand hectares in 2019, to 16.8 thousand hectares in 2020, (ii) a 14.9% increase in peanut prices from $944.2 per ton in 2019, to $1084.5 per ton in 2020, (iii) a 31.0% increase in the volume of sunflower sold, from 8.4 thousand tons during 2019, to 11.0 thousand tons during 2020, explained by an increase in planted area, from 3.8 thousand hectares in 2019, to 6.8 thousand hectares in 2020; and (iv) a positive effect of hyperinflation accounting and translation for our Argentine operations, from a negative impact of $2.5 million effect in 2019 compared to a negative impact of $1.7 million during the same period in 2020.
This increase was partially offset by (i) a 24.9% decrease in the volume of wheat sold, from 108.8 thousand tons during 2019 to 81.7 thousand tons in 2020, driven by (a) a decrease in inventories of 14.1 thousand tons in 2019, compared to an increase in inventories of 30.6 thousand tons in 2020, (b) lower planted area from 40.2 thousand hectares in 2019, to 32.8 thousand hectares in 2020; (ii) a 24.3% decrease in the volume of corn sold, from 413.9 thousand tons during 2019, to 313.2 thousand tons during 2020, driven by (a) lower yields, from 6.5 tons per hectare in 2019 to 6.0 tons per hectare in 2020, (b) a decrease in inventories of 39.7 thousand tons in 2019, compared to an increase in inventories of 2.9 thousand tons in 2020; and (c) a reduction from 120.0 thousand tons of corn commercialized from third parties in 2019 compared to null in 2020.

(1)Includes sorghum and popcorn.
(2)Includes barley, rye, oats and chickpea.
•A $0.7 million increase in our Rice segment, mainly explained by (i) a 9.3% increase in average selling price from $431.4 per ton in 2019, to $471.4 per ton in 2020, partially offset by (i) a 5.5% decrease in the volume of white rice sold, from 291.3 thousand tons in 2019 to 275.4 thousand tons in 2020; and (ii) a decrease in the sale of by products, from $19.4 million in 2019, to $18.0 million in 2020.
This decrease in volume of white rice sold is mainly driven by a decrease in inventories of 27.7 thousand tons of rough rice equivalent in 2019, compared to a decrease in inventories of 0.4 thousand tons of rough rice equivalent in 2020, partially offset by, (i) 13.6% increase in yields, from 5.9 tons per hectare in 2019, to 6.7 tons per hectare in 2020, (ii) a 2.7% increase in area from 40.4 thousand hectares in 2019, to 41.5 thousand hectares in 2020.
The profit of our agricultural produce is recognized under the line items “Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce” and “Changes in net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest”. When the agricultural produce is sold to third parties, we do not record any additional profit or loss as the gain or loss has already been recognized.
123

The profit of our manufactured products is recognized when they are sold. The cost of manufactured products includes, among others, the cost of agricultural produce transferred internally at fair market value (i.e. harvested sugarcane, rough rice, fluid milk, etc).

| (In thousands of $)
2020 | (149,250) |  |  | (73,830) |  |  | (116,007) |  |  | (1,962) |  |  | (270,897) |  |  | (611,946) |

In the case of our agricultural produce sold to third parties (i.e. soybean, corn, wheat and fluid milk), the value of Cost of Goods and Services Rendered is equal to the value of Sales and Services Rendered. The profit of these products is fully recognized under the line items “Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce” and “Changes in net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest.” When the agricultural produce is sold to third parties, we do not record any additional profit or loss as the gain or loss has already been recognized.
In the case of our manufactured products sold to third parties (i.e. sugar, ethanol, energy, white rice, processed milk and peanut), the profit is recognized when they are sold. The Cost of Goods and Services Rendered of these products includes, among others, the cost of the agricultural produce (i.e. harvested sugarcane and rough rice), which is the raw material used in the industrial process and is transferred internally from the farm to the industry at fair market value.
Cost of manufactured products sold and services rendered totaled $611.9 million, 8.8% less than 2019. This decrease was primarily due to:
•a $89.7 million decrease in our Sugar, Ethanol and Energy segment, mainly due to (i) the 9.1% decrease in the volume of sugar and ethanol sold measured in TRS coupled with a 17.3% lower unitary cost in dollar terms, mostly explained by the depreciation of the Brazilian Real and industrial efficiencies that reduces our costs.
•a $7.3 million decrease in our Crop segment, explained by mainly by lower peanut costs due to higher depreciation of the Argentinian Peso coupled with higher industrial efficiencies.
•a $0.1 million decrease in our Rice segment, mainly due to (i) a 5.5% decrease in the volume of white rice sold, coupled with a higher positive impact of hyperinflation accounting and translations.
Partially offset by:
•a $39.3 million increase in our Dairy segment, explained by (i) increase in volume of processed milk sold by our new industrial facilities in Morteros and Chivilcoy, from 182.3 thousand liters in 2019 compared to 297.6 thousand liters in 2020, partially offset by (i) the effect of hyperinflation accounting and translation for our Argentine operations, from positive impact of $0.8 million effect in 2019 compared to a positive impact of $1.7 million during the same period in 2020; and (ii) lower fluid milk prices, from $0.31 per liter in 2019 to $0.28 per liter in 2020.
Initial Recognition and Changes in Fair Value of Biological Assets and Agricultural Produce

Year ended December 31, | Crops |  | Rice |  | Dairy |  | All other segments |  | Sugar, Ethanol and Energy |  | Total
| (In thousands of $)
2020 | 40,843 |  |  | 18,677 |  |  | 12,344 |  |  | 1,256 |  |  | 49,609 |  |  | 122,729 |

124

Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce totaled $ 122.7 million, 78.9% more than 2019. This increase was primarily due to:
•A $36.5 million increase in our Sugar, Ethanol and Energy segment from a gain of $13.1 million in 2019 (of which $0.9 million were unrealized losses) to a gain of $49.6 million during the same period in 2020 (which includes $19.7 million of unrealized gains). This increase was mainly due to:
–A $20.6 million increase in the recognition at fair value less cost to sell of non-harvested sugarcane, from a loss of $0.9 million in 2019 to a gain of $.19.7 million in 2020, mainly generated by a 6.4% increase in sugarcane plantation coupled with lower costs in dollar terms during 2020, compared to 2019.
–A $15.9 million increase in the recognition at fair value less cost to sell of harvested sugarcane, from a gain of $14.0 million during 2019 to a gain of $29.9 million in 2020 due to the increase in sugarcane yields coupled with lower costs in dollar terms during 2020, compared to 2019.
•A $11.1 million increase in our Crops segment from $29.7 million during 2019 (of which $24.2 million were realized) to $40.8 million in 2020 (of which $29.7 million were realized). This increase is primarily due to:
–A $11.4 million increase in the recognition at fair value less cost to sell of harvested crops at the point of harvest, from $28.1 million in 2019, to $39.5 million in the same period in 2020, mainly due to (i) higher grain production; and (ii) lower production costs in dollar terms, due to the depreciation of the Argentine Peso.
Partially offset by:
–The recognition at fair value less cost to sell of non-harvested crops, decreased $0.6 million, from a gain of $2.2 million in 2019 to a gain of $1.6 million in 2020, mainly due to unfavorable weather conditions which decreased expected yields for corn and soybean.
–A negative impact of $0.5 million effect of hyperinflation accounting and translation for our Argentine operations during 2019, compared to a negative impact of $0.9 million in 2020.
•A $6.5 million increase in our Rice segment, from $12.2 million during 2019 (of which $12.7 million were realized) to $18.7 million in 2020 (of which $15.5 million were realized). This increase is due to:
–A $4.4 million increase in the recognition at fair value less cost to sell of harvested rice, from a gain of $32.3 million in 2019 to a gain of $36.7 million in 2020, mainly explained by (i) a 0.8% increase in yields, coupled with (ii) a 2.8% increase in planted area.
–A negative impact of $1.0 million effect of hyperinflation accounting and translation for our Argentine operations during 2019, compared to a negative impact of $0.8 million in 2020.
–A $3.6 million increase in the recognition at fair value less cost to sell of non-harvested rice, from a loss of $1.3 million in 2019 to a gain of $2.2 million in 2020, mainly explained by higher projected prices.
Partially offset by:
•a $1.2 million decrease in our Dairy segment, from $13.5 million in 2019 (of which $13.9 million were realized) to $12.3 million in 2020 (of which $17.8 million were realized), mainly due to:
–A $4.3 million decrease in the recognition at fair value less cost to sell of unrealized production, from a loss of $0.9
million in 2019 to a loss of $5.2 million in the same period in 2020, mainly due to a lower milk selling price, from 0.31 dollar per liter in 2019 to 0.28 dollar per liter in 2020 resulting in lower valuation herd.
Partially offset by:
–A $3.8 million increase in the recognition at fair value less cost to sell of realized production, from $13.9 million during
2019 to $17.7 million in 2020, mainly due to (i) a 20.0% increase in milking cows, from 9,066 average heads in 2019 to
10,876 average heads in 2020 partially offset by (ii) lower milk selling prices, from 0.31 dollar per liter in 2019 to 0.28 dollar per liter in 2020.

Changes in Net Realizable Value of Agricultural Produce after Harvest

Year ended December 31, | Crops |  | Rice |  | Dairy |  | All other segments |  | Sugar, Ethanol and Energy |  | Total
| (In thousands of $)
2020 | 7,007 |  |  | — |  |  | (2) |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 7,005 |
2019 | 1,825 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 1,825 |

Changes in net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest is mainly composed by: (i) profit or loss from commodity price fluctuations during the period of time the agricultural produce is in inventory, which impacts its fair value; (ii) profit or loss from the valuation of forward contracts related to agricultural produce in inventory; and (iii) profit from direct exports.
Changes in net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest increased $5.2 million, from a gain of $1.8 million during 2019 to a gain of $7.0 million in 2020. This increase is mainly explained by higher valuations of our crops held in inventories due to higher prices during the second half of 2020.
General and Administrative Expenses

Our general and administrative expenses totaled $53.4 million, 6.6% less than 2019. The decrease is mainly explained by the depreciation of the Argentine Peso and the Brazilian Real. This was partially offset by an increase in depreciation expenses for Crops, Rice and Dairy segments, mainly due to recent investments. See also “Capital Expenditure Commitments.”
Selling Expenses

Year ended December 31, | Crops |  | Rice |  | Dairy |  | All other segments |  | Sugar, Ethanol and Energy |  | Corporate |  | Total

Selling expenses totaled $95.1 million, 11.1% less than 2019.
This decrease is explained by:
•a $17.9 million decrease in the Sugar, Ethanol and Energy segment, due to lower taxes paid due to sales of sugar and ethanol measured in TRS and lower energy sales, coupled with the depreciation of the Brazilian Real translated to lower expenses in dollar terms.
•a $6.7 million decrease in the Rice segment, due to the decrease in white rice sales by 5.5%, coupled with lower tax rate in export market sales, partially offset with the effect of hyperinflation accounting and translation for our Argentine operations, from positive impact of $0.5 million effect during 2019 compared to a positive impact of $0.2 million in 2020.
126

Partially offset by:
•a $5.3 million increase in our Crops segment due to (i) higher export taxes paid from export sales of peanut and sunflowers due to higher sales, (ii) the effect of hyperinflation accounting and translation for our Argentine operations, from positive impact of $0.1 million effect during 2019 compared to a positive impact of $0.3 million in 2020.
•a $7.3 million increase in the Dairy segment due to higher exports of powder milk, from 6.2 thousand tons during 2019 to 13.5 thousand tons in 2020, coupled with higher freight costs of our milk destined to internal market from processing facilities to distribution centers of wholesalers.

Other operating income increased 2.8 million, from a loss of $0.8 million in 2019, to a gain of $2.0 million during 2020, primarily due to:
•a $5.4 million increase in our Sugar, Ethanol & Energy segment mainly explained by the mark-to-market effect of our sugar hedge position, from a gain of $0.1 million in 2019, to a gain of $5.5 million in 2020.
•a $5.4 million increase in Land Transformation segment due to $2.5 million in 2019 for the sale of "Alto Alegre" farm, located in Brazil, for a total consideration of $16.8 million for 6,080 hectares, compared to $7.9 million in 2020 for the sale the sale of Huelen, a 4,633 hectare farm located in La Pampa Province, Argentina for a total consideration of $30.1 million of which $10.1 million were collected at the closing date; and the sale of "Abolengo" farm, a 811 hectare plot in Argentina's humid Pampas for a total consideration of $12.1 million.
•a $1.4 million increase in All Other Segments related to higher net gains from the fair value adjustment of Investment property, composed of own farms under lease agreements (i.e. beef cattle farms).
Partially offset by:
•a $10.3 million decrease in our Crops segment due to the mark-to-market effect of our soybean and corn hedge positions.
Financial Results, Net
Our financial results, net, represented a loss of $175.7 million in 2020, compared to a loss of $100.2 million in 2019. This was mainly due to a 323.6% increase in foreign exchange losses, from a loss of $25.8 million in 2019 to a loss of $109.3 million during the same period in 2020, mainly explained by higher impact on our dollar denominated debt by the 3.7% nominal depreciation of the Brazilian Real in 2019 compared to a 29.2% nominal depreciation of the Brazilian Real in 2020. This was partially offset by a loss of $3.1 million in other expenses in 2019, compared to a gain of $17.1 in other income in 2020 due to positive results in blue chip swap operations in Argentina.

Income Tax benefit / (expense)
Current income tax totaled an expense of $ 12.3 million, which equates to an effective rate of 92% compared to an expense of $0.8 millions which equates and effective tax rate of 98%.
The income tax calculated at the applicable tax rates to profits in the respective countries in 2020 would be $4.2 million expense. The main adjustments to this amount are: (i) $19.2 million related to the application of IAS 29 on Shareholders' equity of our Argentine Subsidiaries; (ii) the recognition of unused tax losses of $ 0.7 million and (iii) $7.6 million related to non deductible items. These effects were partially offset by (i) non-taxable income in the amount of $11.0 million related to a Complementary Law in Brazil, which allows the Company to consider as non-taxable income the Government grant related to the ICMS tax and (ii) $6.3 million gain for the effect of the changes in the statutory income tax in Argentina.
The income tax calculated at the applicable tax rates to profits in the respective countries in 2019 would be $7.2 million expense. The main adjustments to this amount are: (i) $23.8 million related to the application of IAS 29 on Shareholders' equity of our Argentine Subsidiaries; (ii) the recognition of unused tax losses for $ 3 million and (iii) $1.5 million related to non deductible items. These effects were partially offset by (i) non-taxable income in the amount of $11.5 million related to a Complementary Law in Brazil, which allows the Company to consider as non-taxable income the Government grant related to the ICMS tax and (ii) $3.1 million gain for the effect of the changes in the statutory income tax in Argentina.

B.LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our liquidity and capital resources are and will be influenced by a variety of factors, including:
•our ability to generate cash flows from our operations;
128

•the level of our outstanding indebtedness and the interest that we are obligated to pay on such outstanding indebtedness;
•our capital expenditure requirements, which consist primarily of investments in new farmland, in our operations, in equipment and plant facilities and maintenance costs; and
•our working capital requirements.
Our principal sources of liquidity have traditionally consisted of shareholders’ contributions, short and long term borrowings and proceeds received from the disposition of transformed farmland or subsidiaries.
We believe that our working capital will be sufficient during the next 12 months to meet our liquidity requirements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Historically since our cash flows from operations were insufficient to fund our working capital needs and investment plans, we funded our operations with proceeds from short-term and long-term indebtedness and capital contributions from existing and new private investors. In 2011, we raised $421.8 million from an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and simultaneous private placement. As of December 31, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $336.3 million.
However, we may need additional cash resources in the future to continue our investment plans. Also, we may need additional cash if we experience a change in business conditions or other developments. We also might need additional cash resources in the future if we find and wish to pursue opportunities for investment, acquisitions, strategic alliances or other similar investments. If we ever determine that our cash requirements exceed our amounts of cash and cash equivalents on hand, we might seek to issue debt or additional equity securities or obtain additional credit facilities or realize the disposition of transformed farmland and/or subsidiaries. Any issuance of equity securities could cause dilution for our shareholders. Any incurrence of additional indebtedness could increase our debt service obligations and cause us to become subject to additional restrictive operating and financial covenants, and could require that we pledge collateral to secure those borrowings, if permitted to do so. It is possible that, when we need additional cash resources, financing will not be available to us in amounts or on terms that would be acceptable to us or at all.

We maintain lines of credit with several banks in order to finance our working capital requirements. We believe that we will continue to be able to obtain additional credit to finance our working capital needs in the future based on our past track record and current market conditions.
C. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.
We are involved in rice breeding and development of new varieties with respect to our rice seed business in Argentina. Our efforts are aimed to improve all processes related to the selection of better materials. The objective is to obtain superior cultivars with better yields, industrial performance, commercial quality and culinary parameters, with market demand being the main driver. For that, we constantly do cross-breeding with many varieties in order to achieve new ones with enhanced features. We do that for different rice types, such as long grain, short grain, and round grain among others. At the field level, we aim our breeding of new varieties and rice hybrids adapted to local conditions and production parameters. At the lab level, we are working with molecular markers, that help us to identify specific DNA details, and thus we can improve quality parameters of the seed, such as purity.
In relation to these objectives, we have concluded agreements with selected research and development institutions such as INTA in Argentina, FLAR and HIAAL in Colombia, EPAGRI, IRGA, BASF and others. Our rice seed research team continuously tests and develops new varieties, applying a highly technified and efficient breeding and selection system. We continue strengthening our partnership with HIAAL (Híbridos de Arroz para América Latina or Rice Hybrids for Latam) to develop hybrid rice seeds, with the goal of expanding the scale of hybrid seed production. In addition to this, we keep working with the National University of Northeast of Argentina, aiming to develop double-haploid seeds, which will help us to reduce the selection process from five to one year.
Since 2008, we have developed and released four new varieties of rice on the market. The latest released variety, called SCS121 CL, was introduced to the program in 2017 and includes Clearfield® technology, developed in collaboration with BASF, and is tolerant to the herbicides that control harmful weeds. In 2020 we have registered a new variety, Ita Caabo 109, which is best suited for the center-south of the rice region. Currently, we have an additional cultivar in the registration process. We have registered our own varieties of rice seeds with the corresponding Argentine authorities, the National Seed Institute (INASE) and the National Registry of Seed Variety Properties (RNPC). With respect to the intellectual property of our seeds, we operate under the standards of ArPOV (Argentine Association of Plant Variety Protection).
We use our seed varieties on our farms and sell them to rice producers in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay.
We have also developed Zero Grade Level technology in most of our farms, which help us to reduce water consumption and so energy consumption as well. For hilly farms, we are implementing Polypipe irrigation system, where we can also save water an energy. Additionally, for all the farms, we are developing an Irrigation Surveillance methodology based on the use of Drones, water sensors connected through IoT and digital platforms, from which we are improving water management efficiencies and enhancing rice yield performance. In addition to this, we are developing a digital platform where we can centralized all the technical information (seed, planting date, fertilizers, irrigation, farmworks, harvest, etc.) All this information is avaliable online through desk computers and mobile phones. See more details for both cases in “Technology and Best Practices” section.
134

Regarding our Sugar & Ethanol business, we have effectively implemented state-of-the-art technologies such as high pressure boilers for high cogeneration capacity, full mechanization of agricultural operations with online GPS tracking systems on all vehicles (trucks, combines, planters), and concentrated vinasse system among others. In order to optimize fertilization of sugarcane, we are currently enriching the vinasse with different nutrient concentrations, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, boron and zinc. We are also using drones in our plantations in order to improve some operational efficiencies such as planting quality, biological control, weed monitor and pesticide spraying among others.
During the last years, we have been developing a seedling production method called “MPB” (Muda Pre Brotada or Pre-Sprout Seedling). It briefly consist of making the seedling sprout in a greenhouse and planting them directly on the fields, instead of the traditional planting of billets (sugarcane stalk pieces). Two main goals are pursued through this technique. One is to introduce new promising and healthy varieties quickly. Second goal is to obtain a reduction of planting cost, which is achieved by using much less volume of planting seedling per hectare. In addition, and because of this, more land can be applied to sugarcane for milling, instead of using that sugarcane for seedling purposes. In 2020, we have produced as much as 17 million of MPB, enough to plant 1,600 hectares of sugarcane.
We are developing vinasse-to-biogas technology in our Cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul (For more details see “Sugar, Ethanol and Energy” in “Operations and Principal Activities” Section). In 2017, we have obtained a patent for the process to produce biogas from sugarcane vinasse. This patent is owned in equal parts with Methanum Engenharia Ambiental. In the industry, we have recently implemented Artificial Intelligence alongside automation process, which is based on Real Time Optimization. By assessing mass balance and measuring main KPIs every other 10 seconds, the system help us to enhance efficiencies all along the industrial processes.
With regards to our Dairy segment in Argentina, we have successfully adapted and implemented the Free Stall model in our operations. Additionally, we have invested in technology to improve the genetics, health and feeding techniques of our cows in order to enhance our milk production. Currently, we are implementing Sexed Semen Technology in all our cows, which is delivering excellent results. The primary goal is to enhance the production of females from our own herd. This allows us to increase the speed-capacity of organic growth by 20% annually, and/or to intensify our cow-genetic selection process. The former being critical to our current Dairy growth project, and the latter being key to improve cow performance (productivity, health, and fertility) (See more details in “Dairy Business” in “Operations and Principal Activities” Section).
In the crop business, we are also implementing the same digital platform mentioned above in the rice section, although some features are still being developed for the particularities of each crop. Currently, we are managing all grain stored in silobags through this platform. In order to enhance efficiencies in the operations, we are developing other digital in-house solutions related to Precision Agriculture such as crop yield estimation, soil quality classification and production dashboard among others. We have also developed a Traceability App for the Peanut segment, where we can track all main production and commercial information, with special focus on quality assurance for customers. We are introducing automation in our Peanut facility, where we are sensing processes with high accuracy and timing, and thus helping us to achieve energy savings.
In addition to traditional R&D activities, since we are constantly looking to improve efficiencies in each of our businesses, we are also constantly researching and analyzing all the available technologies that could be applied in our operations. In addition, we do not only select the best technologies and techniques, but we are strongly involved in their adaptation to our specific needs and local circumstances. Our internal research group is comprised of interdisciplinary teams (agronomists, veterinarians, industrial engineers, technicians, finance and commercial). The group offers support to all business lines and through different levels, from the optimization of current operations, evaluation of new technologies, development of new products, to the assessment of a whole new production system.
Currently we are actively involved in the local AgTech (Agricultural digital-based Technology) ecosystems to identify any high-potential Startup that would not only be able to provide alternative solutions for our operations and potentially the market. We continue to evaluate potential investment in Startups that fit our business (see “Technology and Best Practices” section)
We do not own any registered patents, industrial models or designs, apart from those described in the paragraphs of this section.

B.COMPENSATION
Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers
The compensation of the Company’s directors is approved annually at the ordinary general shareholders’ meeting. For 2020, the aggregate compensation earned by our directors amounted to a grant of up to a total of 53,976 restricted stock shares and $500 thousand in cash. These figures do not include Mr. Mariano Bosch´s compensation in cash nor in restricted shares, which he declined. For year 2021, the aggregate compensation approved to be earned by our directors amounted to a grant of up to a total of 62,888 restricted stock shares and $500 thousand in cash. These figures do not include Mr. Mariano Bosch’s compensation in cash nor in restricted shares, which he declined.
The aggregate compensation package of our executive officers for year 2020 amounted to $2,150,277 in cash and 603,880 restricted shares granted to our senior management. These grants were made under the Adecoagro Restricted Share and Restricted Stock Unit Plan, as amended. See “—E. Share Ownership—Share Options and Restricted Share and Restricted Stock Unit Plan”. Annual cash bonuses are designed to incentivize our named executive officers at a variable level of compensation based on the Company’s financial and operating performance and each executive’s individual performance. Annual executive cash bonuses and stock unit awards are impacted by seniority and individual executive performance. 80% of variable performance is related to achievement of financial targets consisting of Adjusted EBITDA, Net Income, Adjusted Net Cash Flow from Operations, Cash Earnings and Return on Invested Capital. The remaining 20% is based on the achievement of individual objectives and by evaluating each executive’s level of proficiency in the following competencies: general characteristics, teamwork, professional competencies, environmental and social commitment, problem solving and thinking skills and managerial skills. In the past, actual bonus amounts have been determined shortly after fiscal year end. Our Chief Executive Officer presents the final calculation of the annual cash bonuses for our named executives to the Compensation Committee of the board of directors. The Compensation Committee then reviews actual Company and individual performance, and determines the amount payable consistent with the attainment of such individual’s performance based on the above criteria.
We do not pay or set aside any amounts for pension, retirement or other similar benefits for our officers and directors.
C.BOARD PRACTICES

During 2021, all options of the 2007/2008 Plan expired, thus the plan is not in place any longer”. Initially, the 2004 Plan provided for the grant of options to purchase ordinary units of IFH. In connection with the Reorganization, the Option Plans were amended and restated to provide for the grant of options to purchase ordinary shares of the Company, and all then-outstanding options to purchase IFH ordinary units were converted into options to purchase the Company’s ordinary shares.

Shares subject to awards that become forfeited, cancelled, expired, withheld upon exercise, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting or otherwise terminated will again be available for future awards under the Option Plans.
Administration and Eligibility
The Option Plans are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Committee”). The Committee has general authority to, among other things, select individuals for participation, determine the time and amount of grants, and interpret the plans and awards.

The Option Plans require that the exercise price of any future grants shall be no less than the greater of the fair market value of our ordinary shares on the date of grant and the par value per ordinary share.
Individuals eligible to receive options under the 2004 Plan include officers and employees.

To the extent any award under the Plan is canceled, expired, forfeited, surrendered settled in cash, or otherwise terminated without delivery of shares the shares retained by or returned to the Company will again be available for future awards under the Plan. The shares available for issuance as well as outstanding awards under the Plan are subject to adjustment in the event of a reorganization, stock split, merger or similar change. Under the Plan, as of the date of this annual report, 3,188,536 ordinary shares had been issued to directors, senior management and employees.
Administration and Eligibility
The Plan is administered by the Committee.

The vesting requirements may be based on the continued employment or service of the participant for a specified time period or on the attainment of specified business performance goals established by the Committee. Subject to the transfer restrictions and vesting requirements of the award, the participant will have the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends.
The number of restricted shares or restricted stock units awarded to individuals each year will be based on Company performance. Once awarded, the restricted shares or restricted stock units are subject to a service-based vesting schedule and vest in three equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant, subject only to the participant’s continued service to the Company as of each applicable vesting date. Restricted stock units are payable following the vesting of an award in shares.

Item 8. Financial Information
A.CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
See Item 18. Financial Statements and page F-1 through F-78 for our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Legal and Administrative Proceedings
We are subject to several laws, regulations and business practices of the countries in which we operate. In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving tax, social security, labor lawsuits and other matters. We accrue liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Currently, we are not engaged in any material litigation or arbitration and no material litigation or claims are known to us to be pending or threatened against us which, either alone or on a combined basis, may result in an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or cash flows.
In Argentina and Brazil we are engaged in several legal proceedings, including tax, social security, labor, civil, environmental, administrative and other proceedings, for which we have established provisions in an aggregate amount of $3 million as of December 31, 2020. In addition, there are currently certain legal proceedings pending in which we are involved for which we have not established provisions. In the opinion of our management, the ultimate disposition of any threatened or pending matters, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a material adverse effect on our combined financial condition, liquidity, or results of operations other than as described below.
The Brazilian government filed a tax enforcement action against UMA to demand excise taxes (Imposto sobre Produtos Industrializados, or “IPI”), or a federal value-added tax on industrial products, in the amount of approximately $3.7 million. We have obtained a favorable initial decision from the lower court, which accepted our argument on procedural grounds based on the Brazilian government’s loss of its procedural right to demand the IPI debts. Currently, the case is under review by an appellate court following the appeal filed by the Brazilian government. We have not made any provision for this claim based on legal counsel’s view that the risk of an unfavorable decision in this matter is remote. If this proceeding is decided adversely to us, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
José Valter Laurindo de Castilhos, Companhia Rio de Janeiro Agropecuária Ltda. and other former owners of the Rio de Janeiro and Conquista Farms have filed suit against us for the payment of a supplementary amount of approximately $39.5 million, as well as indemnity for moral and material damages, as a result of the alleged breach of the purchase agreement entered into by the parties. The lower court ruled in our favor, allowing us to keep possession of the Rio de Janeiro Farm. This decision has been appealed by Mr. Castilhos to the Superior Court of Justice (“Superior Tribunal de Justiça”). The Brazilian Superior Court of Justice dismissed the appeal. The merits of the case are pending judgment by the court of first instance. This decision can be appealed by Mr. Castilhos. We have not made any provision for this claim based on legal counsel’s view that the risk of an unfavorable decision in this matter is remote. If this proceeding is decided adversely to us, our results of operations and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.
Dividend Policy
The amount and payment of dividends will be determined by a simple majority vote at a general shareholders’ meeting, typically but not necessarily, based on the recommendation of our board of directors. All shares of our capital stock rank pari passu with respect to the payment of dividends. Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, the board of directors has the power to distribute interim dividends in accordance with applicable Luxembourg law. Dividends may be lawfully declared and paid if our net profits and distributable reserves are sufficient under Luxembourg law.
Under Luxembourg law, at least 5% of our net profits per year must be allocated to the creation of a legal reserve until such reserve has reached an amount equal to 10% of our issued share capital. If the legal reserve subsequently falls below the 10% threshold, at least 5% of the annual net profits again must be allocated toward the reserve. The legal reserve is not available for distribution.
Adecoagro is a holding company and has no material assets other than its ownership of partnership interests in Adecoagro LP SCS, in turn, is a holding entity with no material assets other than its indirect ownership of shares in operating subsidiaries in foreign countries. If we were to distribute a dividend at some point in the future, we would cause the operating subsidiaries to make distributions to Adecoagro LP SCS, which in turn would make distributions to Adecoagro in an amount sufficient to cover any such dividends.

Our subsidiaries in Argentina and Brazil are subject to certain restrictions on their ability to declare or pay dividends. See “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—B. Liquidity and Capital Resources—Indebtedness and Financial Instruments”, and also see “—Risks Related to our Business and Industries—Certain of our subsidiaries have substantial indebtedness which could impair their financial condition and decrease the amount of dividends we receive.

General
Adecoagro is a Luxembourg société anonyme (a joint stock company). The Company’s legal name is “Adecoagro S.A.” Adecoagro was incorporated on June 11, 2010 and on October 26, 2010 all the outstanding shares of Adecoagro were acquired by IFH LLC.
On October 30, 2010, the members of IFH LLC transferred pro rata approximately 98% of their membership interests in IFH LLC to Adecoagro in exchange for common shares of Adecoagro. In a series of transactions during 2012, we transferred shares of Adecoagro to certain limited partners of IFH in exchange for their residual interest in IFH, increasing our interest in IFH to approximately 100%.
On January 28, 2011, Adecoagro completed the IPO of its shares on the NYSE. The shares are traded under the symbol “AGRO.”
On March 27, 2015, Adecoagro commenced a series of transactions for the purpose of transfering the domicile of Adecoagro LP to Luxembourg. In connection with the Adecoagro LP redomiciliation, Adecoagro merged IFH into Adecoagro LP with Adecoagro LP as the surviving entity and Adecoagro GP S.à r.l., a société à responsibilitié limitée organized under the laws of Luxembourg, became the general partner of Adecoagro LP on April 1, 2015. Also on April 1, 2015, Adecoagro completed the redomiciliation of Adecoagro LP (Delaware) out of Delaware to Luxembourg and Adecoagro LP, without dissolution or liquidation, continued its corporate existence as Adecoagro LP S.C.S., a société en commandite simple organized under Luxembourg law, effective April 2, 2015. For a detailed description of the Adecoagro LP redomiciliation please see “Item 4. Information on the Company—A. History and Development of the Company—History. Since that date the affairs of Adecoagro LP S.C.S. have been governed by its articles of association and Luxembourg law.
Adecoagro is registered with the Luxembourg Registry of Trade and Companies under number B153681. Adecoagro has its registered office at 6 Rue Eugène Ruppert, L-2453, Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
The corporate purpose of Adecoagro, as stated in Article 4 of our articles of incorporation (Purpose Object), is the following: The object of Adecoagro is the holding of participations, in any form whatsoever, in Luxembourg and foreign companies, or other entities or enterprises, the acquisition by purchase, subscription, or in any other manner as well as the transfer by sale, exchange or otherwise of stock, bonds, debentures, notes and other securities or rights of any kind including interests in partnerships, and the holding, acquisition, disposal, investment in any manner (in), development, licensing or sub licensing of, any patents or other intellectual property rights of any nature or origin as well as the ownership, administration, development and management of its portfolio. Adecoagro may carry out its business through branches in Luxembourg or abroad.
Adecoagro may borrow in any form and proceed to the issuance by private or public means of bonds, convertible bonds and debentures or any other securities or instruments it deems fit.
In a general fashion it may grant assistance (by way of loans, advances, guarantees or securities or otherwise) to companies or other enterprises in which Adecoagro has an interest or which form part of the group of companies to which Adecoagro, belongs or any entity as Adecoagro may deem fit (including upstream or cross stream), take any controlling, management, administrative and/or supervisory measures and carry out any operation which it may deem useful in the accomplishment and development of its purposes.
Finally, Adecoagro can perform all commercial, technical and financial or other operations, connected directly or indirectly in all areas in order to facilitate the accomplishment of its purpose.

Share Capital
As of December 31, 2020 our issued share capital amounted to $183,572,722.50, represented by 122,381,815 shares in issue (of which 4,643,396 were treasury shares) with a nominal value of $1.50 each. All issued shares are fully paid up.
As of December 31, 2020 there were 117,296,951 common shares outstanding.
We have an authorized unissued share capital of $220,287,267, including the issued share capital as of April 15, 2020 of $183,572,722.50 and are authorized to issue up to 146,858,178 shares of a nominal value of $1.50 each (taking into account the shares issued as of April 15, 2020) out of such authorized share capital. Our authorized unissued share capital as of April 15, 2020 is $36,714,544.50.
Our articles of incorporation authorize the board of directors to issue shares within the limits of the authorized un-issued share capital at such times and on such terms as the board or its delegates may decide for a period ending on April 15, 2025 (unless it is extended, amended or renewed and we currently intend to seek renewals and/or extensions as required from time to time). Accordingly, the board may issue shares within the limits of the authorized (unissued) share capital against contributions in cash, contributions in kind or by way of incorporation of available reserves at such times and on such terms and conditions, including the issue price, as the Board of Directors or its delegate(s) may in its or their discretion resolve while reserving a preemptive subscription right to existing shareholders for any issue of shares.
Our authorized share capital is determined (and may be increased, reduced or extended) by our articles of incorporation, as amended from time to time, by the decision of our shareholders at an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting with the necessary quorum and majority provided for the amendment of our articles of incorporation. See “—Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation” and “—General Meeting of Shareholders”.
Under Luxembourg law, existing shareholders benefit from a preemptive subscription right on the issuance of shares for cash consideration.
Form and Transfer of shares
Our shares are issued in registered form only and are freely transferable. Luxembourg law does not impose any limitations on the rights of Luxembourg or non-Luxembourg residents to hold or vote our shares.
Under Luxembourg law, the ownership of registered shares is evidenced by the inscription of the name of the shareholder, the number of shares held by him or her in the register of shares held at the registered office of the Company. Each transfer of shares in the share register shall be effected by written declaration of transfer to be recorded in the register of shares, such declaration to be dated and signed by the transferor and the transferee, or by their duly appointed agents. We may accept and enter into the share register any transfer effected pursuant to an agreement or agreements between the transferor and the transferee, true and complete copies of which have been delivered to us.
We may appoint registrars in different jurisdictions, each of whom may maintain a separate register for the shares entered in such register. We have appointed Computershare as our New York registrar and transfer agent. The holders of our shares may elect to be entered in one of the registers and to be transferred from time to time from one register to another register provided that our board of directors may however impose transfer restrictions for shares that are registered, listed, quoted, dealt in, or have been placed in certain jurisdictions in compliance with the requirements applicable therein. The transfer to the register kept at the Company’s registered office may always be requested by a shareholder.
In addition, our articles of incorporation provide that our shares may be held through a securities settlement system or a professional depository of securities. Shares held in such manner have the same rights and obligations as shares recorded in our shareholder register(s) (subject to complying with certain formalities). Shares held through a securities settlement system or a professional depository of securities may be transferred in accordance with customary procedures for the transfer of securities in book-entry form.
Issuance of Shares
Pursuant to Luxembourg law of August 10, 1915 on commercial companies as amended, the issuance of shares in Adecoagro requires the approval by the general meeting of shareholders at the quorum and majority provided for the amendment of our articles of incorporation. See “—Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation” and “—General Meeting of Shareholders”. The general meeting of shareholders may however approve an authorized unissued share capital and authorize
150

the board of directors to issue shares up to the maximum amount of such authorized unissued share capital for a maximum period of five years. The general meeting may amend, renew or extend such authorized share capital and authorization to the board of directors to issue shares.
We have currently an authorized unissued share capital of $220,287,267, including the issued share capital as of December 31, 2020 of $183,572,722.50, and are authorized to issue up to 146,858,178 shares of a nominal value of $1.50 each (taking into account the shares already issued) out of such authorized share capital. As of April 15, 2020 the authorized un-issued share capital was $36,714,544.50. Our board has been authorized to issue shares within the limits of the authorized un-issued share capital at such times and on such terms as the board or its delegates may decide for a period ending on April 10, 2025 (unless it is extended, amended or renewed and we currently intend to seek renewals and/or extensions as required from time to time).
Further, on April 15, 2020 the extraordinary meeting of shareholders adjusted the authorized un-issued share capital from the amount of $3,000,000,000 represented by two billion 2,000,000,000 shares of a nominal value of $1.50 each to $220,287,267 represented by 146,858,178 shares of a nominal value of $1.50 each (which includes the issued share capital) and extended the validity period for 5 more years; until April 10, 2025. The extraordinary meeting of shareholders also resolved that the board may issue shares up to the total number of authorized un-issued shares until the latter date against contributions in cash or by way of incorporation of available reserves at such times and on such terms and conditions, including the issue price, as the Board of Directors or its delegate(s) may in its or their discretion resolve while reserving a preemptive subscription right to existing shareholders for any issue of shares.
Our articles provide that no fractional shares may be issued.
Our shares have no conversion rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to our common shares.
Preemptive Rights
Holders of our shares have a pro rata preemptive right to subscribe for any new shares issued for cash consideration or by way of incorporation of available reserves. Our articles provide that in the event of an increase of the issued share capital by the board of directors within the limits of the authorized un-issued share capital preemptive rights shall always be reserved.
Repurchase of Shares
We cannot subscribe for our own shares.
We may, however, repurchase issued shares or have another person repurchase issued shares for our account, subject in particular to the following conditions:
•the prior authorization of the general meeting of shareholders (at the quorum and majority for ordinary resolutions), which authorization sets forth the terms and conditions of the proposed repurchase and in particular the maximum number of shares to be repurchased, the duration of the period for which the authorization is given (which may not exceed five years) and, in the case of repurchase for consideration, the minimum and maximum consideration per share, must have been obtained;
•the repurchase may not reduce our net assets on a non-consolidated basis to a level below the aggregate of the issued share capital increased by the reserves that we must maintain pursuant to Luxembourg law or its articles of incorporation; and
•only fully paid up shares may be repurchased.
The general meeting of shareholders has authorized that the Company, and/or any wholly-owned subsidiary (and/or any person acting on their behalf), may purchase, acquire, receive or hold shares in the Company under article 430-15 of the Luxembourg law of August 10, 1915, as amended, from time to time up to 10% of the issued share capital, on the following terms and on such terms as referred to below and as shall further be determined by the board of directors of the Company, such authorization being valid (subject to renewal) for a period of five years from January 10, 2011. Such period was thereafter extended to end on April 21, 2026.
151

Acquisitions may be made in any manner including without limitation, by tender or other offer(s), buyback program(s), over the stock exchange or in privately negotiated transactions or in any other manner as determined by the board of directors (including derivative transactions or transactions having the same or similar economic effect than an acquisition).
In the case of acquisitions for value:
(i) in the case of acquisitions other than in the circumstances set forth under (ii), for a net purchase price being (x) no less than fifty per cent of the lowest stock price and (y) no more than fifty per cent above the highest stock price, in each case being the closing price, as reported by the New York City edition of the Wall Street Journal, or, if not reported therein, any other authoritative source to be selected by the board of directors of the Company (hereafter, the closing price), over the ten (10) trading days preceding the date of the purchase (or as the case may be the date of the commitment to the transaction);
(ii) in case of a tender offer (or if deemed appropriate by the board of directors, a buyback program),
a. in case of a formal offer being published, for a set net purchase price or a purchase price range, each time within the following parameters: no less than fifty per cent of the lowest stock price and (y) no more than fifty per cent above the highest stock price, in each case being the closing price over the ten (10) trading days preceding the publication date, provided however that if the stock exchange price during the offer period fluctuates by more than 10%, the board of directors may adjust the offer price or range to such fluctuations;
b. in case a public request for sell offers is made, a price range may be set (and revised by the board of directors as deemed appropriate) provided that acquisitions may be made at a price which is no less than fifty per cent of the lowest stock price and (y) no more than fifty per cent above the highest stock price, in each case being the closing price over a period determined by the board of directors provided that such period may not start more than five (5) trading days before the sell offer start date of the relevant offer and may not end after the last day of the relevant sell offer period.
In addition, pursuant to Luxembourg law the board of directors may repurchase shares without the prior approval of the general meeting of shareholders if necessary to prevent serious and imminent harm to us or if the acquisition of shares has been made in view of the distribution thereof to the employees.
A share repurchase program was approved by the board of directors of the Company on September 12, 2013 to acquire up to 5% of the total outstanding share capital of the Company to be held as treasury shares (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Share Repurchase Program was implemented in compliance with the authorization granted by the general meeting of shareholders of the Company, any applicable law, rules or regulations described above and the following limits approved by the board of directors of the Company. The Share Repurchase Program was approved for a period of 12 months from September 23, 2014 (the date of its announcement) or until reaching the maximum number of shares authorized under the Share Repurchase Program, whichever occurs first. In April 4, 2017, the board of directors amended the Share Repurchase Program to include repurchases under Open Market Transactions, in reliance on the “safe harbour” from liability for manipulation provided by Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act and in privately negotiated transactions. The Share Repurchase Program was renewed by decision of the Board of Directors on August 11, 2020 for an additional period of 12 months, ending on September 23, 2021 or until reaching the maximum number of shares authorized under the Program, whichever occurs first.
Capital Reduction
The articles of incorporation provide that the issued share capital may be reduced, subject to the approval by the general meeting of shareholders at the quorum and majority provided for the amendment of our articles of incorporation. See “—Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation” and “—General Meeting of Shareholders”.
General Meeting of Shareholders
In accordance with Luxembourg law and our articles of incorporation, any regularly constituted general meeting of shareholders of Adecoagro represents the entire body of shareholders of the Company. It shall have the broadest powers to order, carry out or ratify acts relating to the operations of the Company.
The annual general meeting of shareholders of Adecoagro as well as any other meetings of shareholders shall be held in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg at such place and time as indicated in the notice of the meeting.
Each of our shares entitles the holder thereof to attend our general meeting of shareholders, either in person or by proxy, to address the general meeting of shareholders, and to exercise voting rights, subject to the provisions of our articles of
152

incorporation. Each share entitles the holder to one vote at a general meeting of shareholders. There is no minimum shareholding required to be able to attend or vote at a general meeting of shareholders.
A shareholder may act at any general meeting of shareholders by appointing another person (who need not be a shareholder) as his proxy, which proxy shall be in writing and comply with such requirements as determined by our board with respect to the attendance to the general meeting, and proxy forms in order to enable shareholders to exercise their right to vote. All proxies must be received by us (or our agents) no later than the day preceding the fifth (5th) working day before the date of the general meeting except if our board of directors decides to change such time frame.
Our articles of incorporation provide that in the case of shares held through the operator of a securities settlement system or depository, a holder of such shares wishing to attend a general meeting of shareholders must receive from such operator or depository a certificate certifying the number of shares recorded in the relevant account on the blocking date and certifying that the shares in the account shall be blocked until the close of the general meeting. Such certificates should be submitted to us no later than the day preceding the fifth working day before the date of the general meeting unless our board fixes a different period.
Our board of directors may determine a date preceding a general meeting as the record date for admission to such general meeting. When convening a general meeting of shareholders, we will publish the convening notice (which must be published at least fifteen days before the meeting) in the Recueil Électronique des Sociétés et Association, and in a Luxembourg newspaper and in the case the shares of the Company are listed on a regulated market, in accordance with the publicity requirements of such regulated market applicable to the Company. If all of the shareholders are present or represented at a general meeting of shareholders, the general meeting may be held without prior notice or publication. These convening notices must contain the agenda of the meeting and set out the conditions for attendance and representation at the meeting.
All materials relating to a general meeting of shareholders (including the notice) will be available at the website of Adecoagro at www.adecoagro.com and will be filed with the SEC on Form 6-K. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference in, and does not constitute a part of, this annual report.
Luxembourg law provides that the board of directors is obliged to convene a general meeting of shareholders if shareholders representing, in the aggregate, 10% of the issued share capital so require in writing with an indication of the agenda. In such case, the general meeting of shareholders must be held within one month of the request. If the requested general meeting of shareholders is not held within one month, shareholders representing, in the aggregate, 10% of the issued share capital, may petition the competent president of the district court in Luxembourg to have a court appointee convene the meeting. Luxembourg law provides that shareholders representing, in the aggregate, 10% of the issued share capital may request that additional items be added to the agenda of a general meeting of shareholders. That request must be made by registered mail sent to the registered office at least five days before the holding of the general meeting of shareholders.
Voting Rights
Each share of our shares entitles the holder thereof to one vote at a general meeting of shareholders.
Luxembourg law distinguishes between “ordinary” general meetings of shareholders and “extraordinary” general meetings of shareholders.
Extraordinary general meetings of shareholders are convened to resolve in particular upon an amendment to the articles of incorporation and certain other limited matters including those described below and are generally subject to the quorum and majority requirements described below. All other general meetings of shareholders are ordinary general meetings of shareholders.
Ordinary General Meetings of Shareholders. At an ordinary general meeting of shareholders there is no quorum requirement, and resolutions are adopted by a simple majority of the votes validly cast, irrespective of the number of shares represented. Abstentions are not considered “votes”.
Extraordinary General Meetings of Shareholders. An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders convened for the purpose of in particular (a) an increase or decrease of the authorized or issued share capital, (b) a limitation or exclusion of preemptive rights, (c) approving a legal merger or de-merger of Adecoagro, (d) dissolution of the Company or (e) an amendment of the articles of incorporation must generally have a quorum of at least 50% of our issued share capital except in limited circumstances provided for by Luxembourg law. If such quorum is not reached, the extraordinary general meeting of
153

shareholders may be reconvened, pursuant to appropriate notification procedures, at a later date with no quorum requirement applying.
Irrespective of whether the proposed actions described in the preceding paragraph will be subject to a vote at the first or a subsequent extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, such actions are generally subject to the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes validly cast at such extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (except in limited circumstances provided for by Luxembourg law). Abstentions are not considered “votes”.
Appointment and Removal of Directors. Members of the board of directors may be elected by simple majority of the votes validly cast at any general meeting of shareholders. Under the articles of incorporation, all directors are elected for a period of up to three years with such possible extension as provided therein provided however the directors shall be elected on a staggered basis, with one third (1/3) of the directors being elected each year and provided further that such three year term may be exceeded by a period up to the annual general meeting held following the third anniversary of the appointment. Any director may be removed with or without cause by a simple majority vote at any general meeting of shareholders. The articles of incorporation provide that in case of a vacancy the board of directors may co-opt a director.
Neither Luxembourg law nor our articles of incorporation contain any restrictions as to the voting of our shares by non-Luxembourg residents.
Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation
Luxembourg law requires an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders to resolve upon an amendment to the articles of incorporation. The agenda of the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders must indicate the proposed amendments to the articles of incorporation.
An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders convened for the purpose of amending the articles of incorporation must generally have a quorum of at least 50% of our issued share capital. If such quorum is not reached, the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders may be reconvened at a later date with no quorum according to the appropriate notification procedures. Irrespective of whether the proposed amendment will be subject to a vote at the first or a subsequent extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, the amendment is generally subject to the approval of at least two-thirds of the votes cast at such extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.
Any resolutions to amend the articles of incorporation must be taken before a Luxembourg notary and such amendments must be published in accordance with Luxembourg law
Merger and Division
A merger by absorption whereby a Luxembourg company, after its dissolution without liquidation transfers to another company all of its assets and liabilities in exchange for the issuance to the shareholders of the company being acquired of shares in the acquiring company, or a merger effected by transfer of assets to a newly incorporated company, must, in principle, be approved by an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Luxembourg company to be held before a notary. Similarly the de-merger of a Luxembourg company is generally subject to the approval by an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders.
Liquidation
In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Adecoagro, the assets remaining after allowing for the payment of all liabilities will be paid out to the shareholders pro rata to their respective shareholdings. The decision to voluntarily liquidate, dissolve or wind-up require the approval by an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of the Company to be held before a notary.
No Appraisal Rights
Neither Luxembourg law nor our articles of incorporation provide for any appraisal rights of dissenting shareholders.
Distributions
Subject to Luxembourg law, each share is entitled to participate equally in distributions if and when if declared by the general meeting of shareholders out of funds legally available for such purposes. Pursuant to the articles of incorporation, the
154

general meeting of shareholders may approve distributions and the board of directors may declare interim distribution, to the extent permitted by Luxembourg law.
Declared and unpaid distributions held by us for the account of the shareholders shall not bear interest. Under Luxembourg law, claims for unpaid distributions will lapse in our favor five years after the date such distribution has been declared.
Annual Accounts
Each year the board of directors must prepare annual accounts, that is, an inventory of the assets and liabilities of Adecoagro together with a balance sheet and a profit and loss account. The board of directors must also prepare, each year, consolidated accounts and management reports on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. The annual accounts, the consolidated accounts, the management report and the auditor’s reports must be available for inspection by shareholders at the registered office of Adecoagro at least 8 calendar days prior to the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders.
The annual accounts and the consolidated accounts, after approval by the annual general meeting of shareholders, will need to be filed with the Luxembourg registry of trade and companies within one month after the approval and no more than seven months after the close of the financial year.
Information Rights
Luxembourg law gives shareholders limited rights to inspect certain corporate records 8 calendar days prior to the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders, including the annual accounts with the list of directors and auditors, the consolidated accounts, the notes to the annual accounts and the consolidated accounts, a list of shareholders whose shares are not fully paid-up, the management reports, the auditor’s report and in case of amendments to the articles, the text of the proposed amendments and the draft of the resulting consolidated articles.
Any registered shareholder is entitled to receive a copy of the annual accounts, the consolidated accounts, the auditor’s reports and the management reports free of charge 8 calendar days prior to the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders upon request.
Under Luxembourg law, it is generally accepted that a shareholder has the right to receive responses to questions concerning items on the agenda for a general meeting of shareholders, if such responses are necessary or useful for a shareholder to make an informed decision concerning such agenda item, unless a response to such questions could be detrimental to our interests.
One or more shareholders representing at least 10% of the share capital or 10% of the votes attached to all existing securities may ask the board of directors written questions on one or more management operations (opérations de gestion) of the company and, as the case may be, of subsidiaries it controls. In the latter case, the request must be assessed in view of the interest of the companies included within the consolidation. In the absence of response within a period of one month, these shareholders may apply to the court for the appointment of experts instructed to submit a report on the management operations targeted in the question.
Board of Directors
The management of Adecoagro is vested in a board of directors. Our articles of incorporation provide that the board must comprise at least three members and no more than eleven members. The number of directors is determined and the directors are appointed at the general meeting of shareholders (except in case of a vacancy in the office of a director because of death, retirement, resignation, dismissal, removal or otherwise, the remaining directors may fill such vacancy and appoint a successor in accordance with applicable Luxembourg law).
The directors are appointed for a period of up to three years; provided however the directors shall be elected on a staggered basis, with one-third of the directors being elected each year and provided further that such three year term may be exceeded by a period up to the annual general meeting held following the third anniversary of the appointment. Directors may be removed with or without cause (ad nutum) by the general meeting of shareholders by a simple majority of votes cast at a general meeting of shareholders. The directors shall be eligible for re-election indefinitely. The general shareholders’ meeting may dismiss one or more directors at any time, with or without cause by a resolution passed by simple majority vote, irrespective of the number of shares present at such general shareholders’ meeting.
155

Currently our board has 9 members (see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—A. Directors and Senior Management—Board of Directors”). The board meets as often as required by our interests.
A majority of the members of the board in office (and able to vote) present or represented at a board meeting constitutes a quorum, and resolutions are adopted by the simple majority vote of the board members present or represented (and able to vote). The board may also take decisions by means of resolutions in writing signed by all directors.
Our board may delegate the daily management of the business of Adecoagro, as well as the power to represent Adecoagro in its day to day business, to individual directors or other officers or agents of the Company (with power to sub-delegate). In addition the board of directors may delegate the daily management of the business of Adecoagro, as well as the power to represent Adecoagro in its day to day business to an executive or other committee as it deems fit. The board of directors shall determine the conditions of appointment and dismissal as well as the remuneration and powers of any person or persons so appointed.
Currently the board of directors has appointed the officers listed under “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—A. Directors and Senior Management.”
The board of directors may (but shall not be obliged to unless required by law) establish one or more committees (including without limitation an audit committee, a risk and commercial committee, a strategy committee and a compensation committee) and for which it shall, if one or more of such committees are set up, appoint the members (who may be but do not need to be board members), determine the purpose, powers and authorities as well as the procedures and such other rules as may be applicable thereto (subject as to the audit committee as set forth therein).

D.EXCHANGE CONTROLS
In 1991, the Argentine Convertibility Law established a fixed exchange rate according to which the Argentine Central Bank was statutorily obliged to sell U.S. dollars to any individual at a fixed exchange rate of Ps.1.00 per $1.00. In 2001 Argentina experienced a period of severe political, economic and social crisis, and on January 6, 2002, the Argentine congress enacted the Public Emergency Law abandoning more than ten years of fixed Peso-U.S. dollar parity. After devaluing the Peso and setting the official exchange rate at Ps.1.40 per $1.00, on February 11, 2002, the Argentine government allowed the Peso to float. The shortage of U.S. dollars and their heightened demand caused the Peso to further devaluate significantly in the first half of 2002. The Argentine Central Bank may indirectly affect this market through its active participation. Due to the deterioration of the economic and financial situation in Argentina during 2001 and 2002, in addition to the abandonment of the Peso-U.S. dollar parity, the Argentine government established a number of monetary and currency exchange control measures, including a partial freeze on bank deposits, the suspension on payments of its sovereign foreign debt, restrictions on the transfer of funds out of, or into, Argentina, and the creation of the Single Free Foreign Exchange Market (“Mercado Único y Libre de Cambios”, which now is called “Mercado Libre de Cambios”) through which FX Market all purchases and sales of foreign currency must be made. Although since 2003 these restrictions were progressively eased to some extent, as a consequence of the increase of the demand in Argentina for U.S. dollars and the capital flow out of Argentina, the Argentine government imposed during 2011 some additional restrictions on the transfer of funds from Argentina and reduced the time required to comply with the mandatory transfer of funds into Argentina.
Most foreign exchange restrictions and restrictions on transfer of funds into and out of Argentina that had been enacted since 2011, were lifted by the Macri administration in December 2016, reestablishing Argentine residents’ rights to purchase and remit outside of Argentina foreign currency with no maximum amount and without specific allocation or prior approval.
Due to the foreign exchange crisis occurred in Argentina after the primary elections in August 2019 and the uncertainties on the presidential elections in October 2019 and the measures to be adopted by a new administration, since September 1, 2019 and effective initially until December 31, 2019, the Argentine Central Bank reinstated rigid restrictions and foreign exchange controls, which have been extended without time limitation by means of Decree No. 91/2019 issued on December 28, 2019 by the Argentine Executive Power, and Communication “A” 6862 issued by the Argentine Central Bank on January 15, 2020 (- See “Argentine economic and political conditions and perceptions of these conditions in the international market may have a direct impact on our business and our access to international capital and debt markets, and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition”.)
Pursuant to these measures, as further amended and complemented from time to time, and other additional measures adopted by the Argentine Central Bank, the main foreign exchange regulations that are in place as of the date of this report are as follows:
(a) Prior authorization of the Argentine Central Bank is required for the access to the FX Market for the purchase of foreign currency:
• For portfolio investment purposes for more than US$200 per calendar month by individuals who are Argentine residents;
• For portfolio investment purposes by legal entities, local governments, funds and trusts;
• By non-Argentine residents, except for certain exemptions;
• For payment of dividends, except that no such prior authorization is required for the payment of dividends to shareholders who are non-Argentine residents as from January 17, 2020, in an amount that (including the amount of the payment being made at the time of the access) does not exceed 30% of the value of new capital contributions of foreign direct investments. These contributions must have been made to the local company and must have been transferred into Argentina and sold for Argentine Pesos through the FX Market as from such date, and comply with the rest of the requirements provided in the regulations;
• For the pre-payment of principal and interest on foreign financial indebtedness with an anticipation of more than three business days in advance to the scheduled maturity dates, unless certain conditions are met;
• For the pre-payment of indebtedness for the import of goods and services, except for certain exemptions;
• For the payment of services with related foreign parties, except for certain exemptions, and;
• Until June 30, 2021 for the payment of principal under foreign financial indebtedness with related parties, except for certain exemptions.
158

(b) Regarding the repayment of principal and interest of foreign financial indebtedness, the proceeds of foreign financial loans incurred since September 1, 2019 must be transferred into Argentina and converted into Argentine Pesos through the FX Market in order for the Argentine resident debtor to then have access to the FX Market for the repayment of principal and interest under such foreign financial loan on their scheduled maturity. For such purposes, the loan must be declared within the Survey of Foreign Assets and Liabilities (Relevamiento de activos y pasivos externos).
(c) Access to the FX market for the purchase of foreign currency is prohibited for the repayment of local debts and other obligations incurred in foreign currency between Argentine residents as from September 1, 2019, except, among other cases, for obligations instrumented by means of public registries or deeds as of August 30, 2019.
(d) The proceeds obtained from the collections of foreign currency by Argentine residents outside of Argentina for the export of the following goods since September 2, 2019 are subject to mandatory transfer into Argentina and conversion into Argentine pesos through the FX Market, within the terms described in each case, computed from the shipment date:
• 15 calendar days for crops and soybean oil;
• 30 calendar days for hydrocarbons and derivatives;
• 60 calendar days for exports between related parties not including the goods described above and for metal ores and precious metals;
• 180 calendar days for all other goods; and
• 365 calendar days for small exports under the EXPORTA SIMPLE program for medium and small companies with annual FOB exports of less than $600,000 and individual exports of less than $15,000 each.
Regardless of the applicable maximum terms described above, upon collection of the export receivables, the proceeds thereof are subject to the mandatory repatriation within the five calendar days computed from the date of payment or collection.
(e) The proceeds from the collection of foreign currency by Argentine residents outside of Argentina for the export of services are subject to mandatory repatriation and conversion into Argentine pesos through the FX Market within five business days computed from the date they are received.
(f) As a general rule, Argentine residents may access the FX Market for the payment of imports of goods. Different requirements apply for goods with customs entry registration and goods with pending customs entry registration. The Argentine importer may access the FX Market to pay imports of goods with customs entry registration registered in the import payment tracking system (Seguimiento de Pago de Importaciones or “SEPAIMPO”, after its Spanish acronym), provided that certain requirements are met, including, among others, the payment is not made before the scheduled maturity date. Payments must be made to the foreign supplier. Goods with pending customs entry registration are subject to a special follow-up regime. In addition, the prior authorization of the Argentine Central Bank is required for the import of luxury goods such as luxury cars and motorbikes, pearls and diamonds, among other luxury goods.
(g) Pursuant to Communication “A” 7001, dated April 30, 2020, as amended, in order to gain access to the FX Market for making any kind of payments, and in addition to applicable requirements, the Argentine Central Bank requires an affidavit from the requestor, (i) stating that it has not sold in Argentina securities settled against foreign currency or transferred securities to custody accounts outside of Argentina within the immediately preceding 90 calendar days; and (ii) committing not to sell in Argentina securities to be settled against foreign currency or to transfer securities to custody accounts outside of Argentina within the immediately following 90 calendar days.
(h) Communication “A” 7030 of the Argentine Central Bank, dated May 28, 2020, as amended, provides that, for purposes of accessing the FX Market for making payments of, among others things, imports of goods, services rendered by non-Argentine residents, interests in connection with the import of goods and services, dividends and other earnings distributions, principal and interest on financial debt, payment of debt securities with public registry in Argentina, or for making international portfolio investments or transactions with derivatives by legal entities, other purchases of foreign currency for specific allocation and premium, guarantees and payments on interest hedging transactions, the party will be required to file an affidavit (i) stating, that as of such date, all of such party’s holdings of foreign currency in Argentina are deposited with Argentine financial institutions and that it does not have foreign liquid disposable assets (including, among others, foreign currency, gold and savings and checking deposits in non-Argentine financial institutions) for an equivalent of more than US$100,000; and (ii) committing to transfer into Argentina and settle for Argentine pesos any funds in foreign currency received outside of Argentina resulting from the collection of loans granted to third parties, the collection of deposits or the collection of the proceeds resulting from a sale of an asset, when the loan was granted, the deposit was made or the asset was acquired, respectively, after May 28, 2020.
159

(i) Pursuant to Communication “A” 7030, as amended by Communication “A” 7193 and 7239, the Argentine Central Bank provided that, until June 30, 2021, with certain limited exceptions, access to the FX Market for the payment of importing certain goods or the payment of principal of debts resulting from the import of goods will be subject to the prior approval of the Argentine Central Bank, except where, among other things, the party files an affidavit stating that the aggregate amount of payments of imports made by such party since January 1, 2020 (including the payment requested) does not exceed US$1,000,000. Such amount is calculated as the aggregate amount of imports nationalized by the party between January 1, 2020 and the date immediately prior to the date of access to the FX Market, plus payments made for other imports not included in the forgoing calculation, less the amount of payments pending for imports with nationalization made between September 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019.
(j) On September 15, 2020, by means of Communication “A” 7106, the Argentine Central Bank restricted the access to FX Market for the payment of principal under foreign financial debt with third parties (other than debt with international or multilateral credit organizations) in excess of US$1,000,000 per month in the aggregate with maturities becoming due between October 15, 2020 and March 31, 2021 to an amount equal to up to 40% of the principal amount originally due; and provided that the remaining unpaid principal balance is refinanced through a new foreign financial debt with an average life of at least two years, with certain limited exceptions. For this purpose, the entities qualifying under this situation were requested to submit a refinancing plan within such guidelines. Similar restrictions and request for a refinancing plan were also put in place for those entities with maturities of principal becoming due between April 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021 (as provided by Communication “A” 7230), for which purposes the Central Bank implemented certain changes with respect to the previous measure. The Argentine Central Bank authorized the prepayment of principal and interest under foreign financial indebtedness in connection with the refinancing described in this paragraph for up to 45 calendar days from the original stated maturity, subject to compliance with certain additional requirements. The Argentine Central Bank also allowed the prepayment of interests on foreign financial indebtedness when such prepayment is implemented in connection with the exchange of debt securities and certain additional requirements are met. In addition, pursuant to Communication “A” 7218, dated February 4, 2021, the Argentine Central Bank allowed Argentine residents to access the FX Market for the payment of principal and interest under debt securities registered outside of Argentina and issued as from February 5, 2021, and that are partially subscribed in foreign currency in Argentina, subject to certain requirements.
(k) The access to the FX Market for the purchase of foreign currency for any of the payments described above is subject to compliance with the foreign indebtedness information regime before the Argentine Central Bank. In addition, to access the FX Market, importers and exporters must register with the Registry created by the Argentine Central Bank containing foreign exchange data on exporters and importers. Any person included in the list to be published by the Argentine Central Bank will be deemed as an obliged party (sujetos obligados) and must be listed in the Registry before April 30, 2021 if they wish to access the foreign exchange market as from May 1, 2021 for transactions involving outflows of funds including swaps and arbitrages. This requirement will not apply when accessing the FX Market for repayment of foreign currency financings granted by local financial entities.
Since December 21, 2019, the Argentine congress has passed the Social Solidarity Law, which, among other things, provided a new 30% tax on the purchase by Argentine residents of foreign currency for portfolio purposes, the acquisition of goods and services with credit and debit cards, and any payments in connection with international passenger transportation. Digital services rendered from outside Argentina (such as hosting, web services, software as a service, streaming services, etc.) are subject to a reduced tax rate of 8.0%.
By resolution of the CNV No. 878/2021, dated January 11, 2021, the CNV established that, with certain limited exceptions, in order to process any instruction for the sale of securities acquired with Argentine pesos for U.S. dollars outside of Argentina, or for the transfer of those securities to depositories outside of Argentina, the securities must have been held for at least three business days since the date of their credit in the depository’s custody account.
Pursuant to Decrees Nos. 332/2020 and 376/2020 dated April 1, 2020 and April 20, 2020, respectively, and each as amended, in connection with the COVID-19 crisis, the Argentine government approved government aid for private sector employers. Pursuant to Administrative Decision 591/2020 of the Chief Cabinet of Ministers, entities benefiting from these programs are prohibited from, among other things, making dividend distributions, and purchasing securities with Argentine pesos for their sale for foreign currency or transferring to custody accounts outside of Argentina.
Law No. 19,359 (revised text pursuant to Decree No. 480/95 and complementary regulations) provides penalties for the infringement of any foreign exchange regulations. Penalties include fines of up to a tenfold increase in the amount of the infringing transaction, temporary suspensions, disqualification for up to ten years preventing the infringing party from acting as importer, exporter and/or as foreign exchange institution, or even prison in event of recidivism.

E.TAXATION
MATERIAL LUXEMBOURG TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES
The following is a summary discussion of certain Luxembourg tax considerations of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of your shares that may be applicable to you if you acquire our shares. This does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to any of the Company’s common shares, and does not purport to include tax considerations that arise from rules of general application or that are generally assumed to be known to holders. This discussion is not a complete analysis or listing of all of the possible tax consequences of such transactions and does not address all tax considerations that might be relevant to particular holders in light of their personal circumstances or to persons that are subject to special tax rules.
It is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice. This discussion is based on Luxembourg laws and regulations as they stand on the date of this annual report and is subject to any change in law or regulations or changes in interpretation or application thereof (and which may possibly have a retroactive effect). Prospective investors should therefore consult their own professional advisers as to the effects of state, local or foreign laws and regulations, including Luxembourg tax law and regulations, to which they may be subject.
As used herein, a “Luxembourg individual” means an individual resident in Luxembourg who is subject to personal income tax (impôt sur le revenu) on his or her worldwide income from Luxembourg or foreign sources, and a “Luxembourg corporate holder” means a company (that is, a fully taxable entity within the meaning of Article 159 of the Luxembourg Income Tax Law) resident in Luxembourg subject to corporate income tax (impôt sur le revenu des collectivités) on its worldwide income from Luxembourg or foreign sources. For purposes of this summary, Luxembourg individuals and Luxembourg corporate holders are collectively referred to as “Luxembourg Holders”. A “non-Luxembourg Holder” means any investor in shares of Adecoagro other than a Luxembourg Holder.
161

Tax regime applicable to realized capital gains
Luxembourg Holders
Luxembourg resident individual holders
Capital gains realized by Luxembourg resident individuals who do not hold their shares as part of a commercial or industrial business and who hold no more than 10% of the share capital of the Company will only be taxable if they are realized on a sale of shares that takes place before their acquisition or within the first six months following their acquisition.
Luxembourg resident corporate holders
Capital gains realized upon the disposal of shares by a fully taxable resident corporate holder will in principle be subject to corporate income tax and municipal business tax. The combined applicable rate (including an unemployment fund contribution) is 24.94% for the fiscal year ending 2020 for a corporate holder established in Luxembourg-City. An exemption from such taxes may be available to the holder pursuant to article 166 of the Luxembourg Income Tax Law subject to the fulfilment of the conditions set forth therein. The scope of the capital gains exemption can be limited in the cases provided by the Grand Ducal Decree of December 21, 2001.
Non-Luxembourg Holders
An individual who is a non-Luxembourg Holder of shares (and who does not have a permanent establishment, a permanent representative or a fixed place of business in Luxembourg) will only be subject to Luxembourg taxation on capital gains arising upon disposal of such shares if such holder has (together with his or her spouse and underage children) directly or indirectly held more than 10% of the capital of Adecoagro at any time during the past five years, and either (i) such holder has been a resident of Luxembourg for tax purposes for at least 15 years and has become a non-resident within the last five years preceding the realization of the gain, subject to any applicable tax treaty, or (ii) the disposal of shares occurs within six months from their acquisition (or prior to their actual acquisition), subject to any applicable tax treaty.
A corporate non-Luxembourg Holder (that is, an entity within the meaning of Article 159 of the Luxembourg Income Tax Law), which has a permanent establishment, a permanent representative or a fixed place of business in Luxembourg to which shares are attributable, will bear corporate income tax and municipal business tax on a gain realized on a disposal of such shares as set forth above for a Luxembourg corporate holder. However, gains realized on the sale of the shares may benefit from the full exemption provided for by Article 166 of the Luxembourg Income Tax Law and by the Grand Ducal Decree of December 21, 2001 subject in each case to fulfillment of the conditions set out therein.
A corporate non-Luxembourg Holder, which has no permanent establishment in Luxembourg to which the shares are attributable, will bear corporate income tax on a gain realized on a disposal of such shares under the same conditions applicable to an individual non-Luxembourg Holder, as set out above. In principle a corporate non-Luxembourg holders is only subject to taxation under (ii) above and not to taxation under (i) above. This result obtains from the provision that when a corporate Luxembourg holder migrates abroad and becomes a corporate non-Luxembourg holders, at that moment in time such holder is deemed liquidated for Luxembourg tax purposes and taxation applies at the moment in time.
Tax regime applicable to distributions
Withholding tax
Distributions imputed for tax purposes on newly accumulated profits are subject to a withholding tax of 15%. The rate of the withholding tax may be reduced pursuant to double tax avoidance treaty existing between Luxembourg and the country of residence of the relevant holder, subject to the fulfilment of the conditions set forth therein.
No withholding tax applies if the distribution is made to (i) a Luxembourg resident corporate holder (that is, a fully taxable entity within the meaning of Article 159 of the Luxembourg Income Tax Law), (ii) an undertaking of collective character which is resident of a Member State of the European Union and is referred to by article 2 of the Council Directive of 2011/96 concerning the common fiscal regime applicable to parent and subsidiary companies of different member states of November 20, 2011 (the "Parent Subsidiary Directive"), (iii) a corporation or a cooperative company resident in Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein and subject to a tax comparable to corporate income tax as provided by the Luxembourg Income Tax Law, (iv) an undertaking with a collective character subject to a tax comparable to corporate income tax as provided by the Luxembourg Income Tax Law which is resident in a country that has concluded a tax treaty with Luxembourg, (v) a
162

Luxembourg permanent establishment of one of the afore-mentioned categories and (vi) a corporation company resident in Switzerland which is subject to corporate income tax in Switzerland without benefiting from an exemption, provided that at the date of payment, the holder holds or commits to hold directly or through a tax transparent vehicle, during an uninterrupted period of at least twelve months, shares representing at least 10% of the share capital of Adecoagro or acquired for an acquisition price of at least EUR 1,200,000, and provided that the dividend recipient is not excluded to benefit from the Parent Subsidiary Directive under its mandatory general anti-avoidance rule, as implemented in Luxembourg.
Luxembourg Holders
With the exception of a Luxembourg corporate holders benefitting from the exemption referred to above, Luxembourg individual holders, and Luxembourg corporate holders subject to Luxembourg corporation taxes, must include the distributions paid on the shares in their taxable income, 50% of the amount of such dividends being exempted from tax. The applicable withholding tax can, under certain conditions, entitle the relevant Luxembourg Holder to a tax credit.
Net wealth tax
Luxembourg Holders
Luxembourg net wealth tax will not be levied on a Luxembourg Holder with respect to the shares held unless (i) the Luxembourg Holder is a legal entity subject to net wealth tax in Luxembourg; or (ii) the shares are attributable to an enterprise or part thereof which is carried on through a permanent establishment, a fixed place of business or a permanent representative in Luxembourg.
Net wealth tax is levied annually at the rate depending on the amount the net wealth of enterprises resident in Luxembourg or, a reduced rate of 0.05% for the portion of the net wealth exceeding EUR 500 million, as determined for net wealth tax purposes (i.e. 0.5% on an amount up to EUR 500 million and 0.05% on the amount of taxable net wealth exceeding EUR 500 million). The shares may be exempt from net wealth tax subject to the conditions set forth by Paragraph 60 of the Law of October 16, 1934 on the valuation of assets (Bewertungsgesetz), as amended.
Non-Luxembourg Holders
Luxembourg net wealth tax will not be levied on a non-Luxembourg Holder with respect to the shares held unless the shares are attributable to an enterprise or part thereof which is carried on through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in Luxembourg.
United States Federal Income Taxation of the Company
Our business assets and properties are located, and all of our employees and executives are based outside the United States. Our business is directly conducted through operating companies organized under the laws of countries other than the United States. These non-U.S. operating companies are indirectly owned by Adecoagro LP SCS, a holding company which is a societe commandite simple organized under the laws of Luxembourg. As a partnership that is not engaged in a trade or business within the United States within the meaning of section 864 of the Internal Revenue Code, Adecoagro LP SCS is not itself subject to U.S. federal net income taxes. We acquired approximately 98 percent of Adecoagro LP SCS´s, predecessor company, IFH, prior to undertaking the IPO in exchange for our stock.
Under rules to prevent expatriation of and by U.S. corporations and certain U.S. partnerships under Internal Revenue Code section 7874(b), we would be treated as a U.S. domestic corporation if for this purpose (i) we were deemed to have acquired substantially all of the assets constituting the trade or business of a U.S. domestic partnership and (ii) former members of IFH were deemed to own at least 80% of our stock by reason of the transfer of those trade or business assets (ignoring stock issued in the IPO for purposes of the 80% threshold) and (iii) we were found not to conduct substantial business activities in Luxembourg. In that event, we would be subject to U.S. federal net income tax on our worldwide income and dividends we pay to non-U.S. shareholders would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate (subject to reduction, to the extent the beneficial owner of the dividend is entitled to claim a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty).
We believe that the restructuring transactions executed prior to or in connection with the IPO should not be subject to section 7874(b). Accordingly, we do not believe that we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our worldwide income nor do we anticipate paying dividends subject to U.S. federal withholding tax. However, the relevant rules are unclear in certain respects and there is limited guidance on the application of the rules to acquisitions of partnerships or partnership assets constituting a trade or business. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that the IRS will not seek to assert that we are a U.S.
163

domestic corporation, which assertion if successful could materially increase our U.S. federal income tax liability. Prospective holders who are non-United States persons should also note that, in that event, we would be required to withhold tax from any dividends we pay to non-U.S. Holders (subject to any applicable income tax treaties applicable to those non-U.S. Holders).
Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors about the possible application of section 7874. The remainder of this discussion assumes that we are not treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders
The following is a discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common shares. This discussion applies only to beneficial owners of common shares that are “U.S. Holders” (as defined below), who have purchased our common shares in the open market and that hold our common shares as “capital assets” for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is based on the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), its legislative history, final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change and to differing interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect). No ruling has been sought from the IRS with respect to any U.S. federal income tax consequences described below, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position.
This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to a particular holder based on its particular circumstances with respect to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of our common shares, and you are urged to consult your own tax advisor regarding your specific tax situation. For example, the discussion does not address the tax considerations that may be relevant to U.S. Holders in special tax situations, such as:
•insurance companies;
•tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations);
•brokers or dealers in securities or currencies and traders in securities that elect to mark to market;
•banks and financial institutions;
•partnerships or other pass-through entities (or a person holding our common shares through a partnership or other pass-through entity or arrangement treated as such);
•real estate investment trusts and regulated investment companies;
•companies that accumulate earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax;
•persons who acquire common shares through the exercise of employee share options or other compensation: arrangements;
•persons liable for alternative minimum tax;
•S corporations;
•accrual-method taxpayers subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code;
•holders whose functional currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not the U.S. dollar or that hold shares through non-U.S. brokers of other non-U.S. intermediaries;
•certain former U.S. citizens or residents or U.S. expatriates;
•holders that hold our common shares as part of a hedge, straddle or conversion or other integrated transaction;
•holders that purchase or sell our common shares as part of a wash sale for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or
•holders that own, directly, indirectly, or constructively, 10% or more of the total combined voting power or value of our common shares.
This discussion does not address the alternative minimum tax consequences of owning common shares or the indirect consequences to holders of equity interests in partnerships or other entities that own our common shares. Moreover, this discussion does not address the state, local and foreign tax consequences of acquiring, owning, or disposing of our common
164

shares, or any aspect of U.S. federal tax law (such as the estate, generation-skipping and gift tax) other than U.S. federal income taxation.
You are a “U.S. Holder” if you are a beneficial owner of our common shares and you are, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
•an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
•a corporation, or any other entity taxable as a corporation, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, including the District of Columbia;
•an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
•a trust (a) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions or (b) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
If a partnership (or an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) owns our common shares, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. A partnership that owns our common shares, and partners in such a partnership, should consult their own tax advisors regarding their specific tax situations.
Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) Rules
U.S. Holders generally will be subject to a special, generally adverse tax regime that would differ in certain material respects from the tax treatment described below if we are, or were to become, a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
In general, we will be a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder if, for any taxable year in which the U.S. Holder held our common shares, either (i) at least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of the value (determined on the basis of a quarterly average) of our assets during such taxable year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. For this purpose, “passive income” generally includes, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, dividends, interest, royalties, rents, annuities, gains from commodities and securities transactions, net foreign currency gains and net gains from assets that produce passive income. If a foreign corporation owns at least 25% by value of the stock of another corporation, the foreign corporation is treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning its proportionate share of the assets of the other corporation, and as receiving directly its proportionate share of the other corporation’s income.
If we were to be treated as a PFIC, gain realized on the sale or other disposition of your common shares would in general not be treated as capital gain that is eligible for preferential tax rates in the case of individual, trust or estate U.S. Holders. Instead, if you are a U.S. Holder, unless you make a timely “mark-to-market” election electing to be taxed annually on a mark-to-market basis with respect to your common shares, or you make a timely “qualified electing fund” election electing to be taxed annually on the earnings and gains of the PFIC attributable to your common shares (irrespective of distributions), you would be treated as if you had realized such gain ratably over your holding period in the common shares and would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year to which the gain was allocated, together with an interest charge in respect of the tax attributable to each such year except for the current year. In addition, unless you make a timely “mark-to-market” election or “qualified electing fund” election, distributions that you receive from us as a direct or indirect U.S. Holder will not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income if we are treated as a PFIC with respect to you either in the taxable year of the distribution or the preceding taxable year, but instead will be taxable at the tax rates applicable to ordinary income, and to the extent they are treated as “excess distributions” under the PFIC rules, they will also be subject to the PFIC interest charge described above. A U.S. Holder will be required to make an annual filing with the IRS if such holder holds common shares in any year in which we are classified as a PFIC. With certain exceptions, your common shares will continue to be treated as stock in a PFIC if we were a PFIC at any time during your holding period in your common shares even if we no longer meet the PFIC tests in a later year.
Although the determination of whether a corporation is a PFIC is made annually, and thus may be subject to change, we do not believe that we were a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our most recently completed taxable year, nor that we will be one for our current taxable year. The U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs are complex. Prospective U.S.
165

investors are urged to consult their own tax advisers with respect to the application of the PFIC rules to their investment in our common shares. The remainder of this discussion assumes that we are not a PFIC.
Taxation of Dividends
Under the U.S. federal income tax laws, and subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, distributions with respect to our common shares (other than certain pro rata distributions of common shares) made to U.S. Holders will, to the extent made from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes that are taxable to the U.S. Holder. Distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the common shares and thereafter as capital gain from the sale or exchange of the common shares. We do not currently maintain calculations of our earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles. Unless and until these calculations are made, distributions should be presumed to be taxable dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As used below, the term “dividend” means a distribution that constitutes a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Dividends (including amounts withheld on account of foreign taxes) paid with respect to our common shares generally will be includible in the gross income of a U.S. Holder as ordinary income on the day on which the dividends are actually or constructively received by the U.S. Holder. Dividends with respect to our common shares will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from other U.S. corporations or certain foreign corporations.
If you are an individual, trust or estate U.S. Holder, dividends paid on the common shares that constitute “qualified dividend income” will be taxable to you at the preferential rates of taxation applicable to long-term capital gains. Dividends paid on our common shares will be treated as “qualified dividend income” if:
•the common shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States or (b) we are eligible for benefits of the income tax treaty between Luxembourg and the United States (the “Treaty”);
•we are not, in the year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a PFIC;
•the U.S. Holder holds the common shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date and meets other holding period requirements;
•the U.S. Holder is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property.
We believe that our common shares should not be treated as stock of a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See “-Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) Rules” above.
As our common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange and should qualify as readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States so long as they are so listed, we believe dividends paid by us on our common shares will be qualified dividend income (provided the other conditions listed above are met). There can, however, be no assurance that our common shares will be considered readily tradable on an established securities market in the future. However, even if our common shares are not considered readily tradeable on an established securities market in the United States, as long as we are eligible for benefits of the Treaty, dividends paid by us will be qualified dividend income (provided the other conditions listed above are met). U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the preferential rates of taxation with respect to dividends in light of their own particular situations, including related restrictions and special rules. Corporate U.S. Holders are taxed on dividend income at the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate whether or not the dividend income is qualified dividend income.
The amount of any cash dividend paid in foreign currency will equal the U.S. dollar value of the dividend, calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date the distribution is includible in the gross income of the U.S. Holder, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted to U.S. dollars at that time. A U.S. Holder should not recognize any foreign currency gain or loss in respect of such dividend distribution if such foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars on the date the dividend distribution is includible in the U.S. Holder’s gross income. If the foreign currency is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date the dividend distribution is includible in the U.S. Holders gross income, however, gain or loss may be recognized upon a subsequent conversion of the foreign currency to U.S. dollars. Such foreign currency gain or loss, if any,
166

generally will be U.S.-source ordinary income or loss and will not be eligible for the preferential tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income. The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market value of such property on the date of distribution.
Dividends received by U.S. Holders will constitute foreign-source income and will, depending on the U.S. Holder's circumstances, generally be “passive” or “general” or "foreign branch" income for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Subject to limitations under U.S. federal income tax law concerning credits or deductions for foreign taxes and certain exceptions for short-term and hedged positions, a Luxembourg withholding tax imposed on dividends described above under “Material Luxembourg Tax Considerations for Holders of Shares-Tax regime applicable to distributions-Withholding tax” should be treated as a foreign income tax eligible for credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (or at a U.S. Holder’s election, may be deducted in computing taxable income if the U.S. Holder has elected to deduct all foreign income taxes for the taxable year). To the extent a refund of the tax withheld is available to a U.S. Holder under Luxembourg law or under the Treaty, the amount of tax withheld that is refundable will not be eligible for credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability. Special limitations on foreign tax credits apply to dividends subject to the preferential U.S. federal income tax rate of taxation for qualified dividend income. The rules with respect to foreign tax credits and deductions are complex, and U.S. Holders are urged to consult their independent tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit under their particular circumstances, including the effects of the Treaty.
Taxation of Capital Gains
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, gain or loss realized by a U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of common shares will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation as capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized (including the gross amount of the proceeds before the deduction of any foreign tax) on the sale or other taxable disposition and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, determined in U.S. dollars, in the common shares. Capital gains of individual, trust or estate U.S. Holders derived with respect to capital assets held for more than one year generally are eligible for the preferential rates of taxation applicable to long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code.
Capital gain or loss, if any, realized by a U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of a common share generally will be treated as U.S.-source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes. Consequently, in the case of a disposition of a common share that is subject to Luxembourg or other foreign income tax imposed on the gain, the U.S. Holder may not be able to use such foreign taxes as a foreign tax credit against their U.S. federal income tax liability on such disposition (i.e., because the income or loss on the disposition would be U.S.-source) but may apply such foreign taxes as a foreign tax credit against U.S. federal income tax due on other income the U.S. Holder may have that is treated as derived from foreign sources in the appropriate foreign tax credit limitation category. Alternatively, the U.S. Holder may take a deduction for the foreign income tax if such holder does not take a credit for any foreign income tax during the taxable year.
If the consideration received for our common shares is paid in foreign currency, the amount realized will be the U.S. dollar value of the payment received translated at the spot rate of exchange on the date of disposition. If our common shares are treated as traded on an established securities market and the relevant U.S. Holder is either a cash basis taxpayer or an accrual basis taxpayer who has made a special election (which must be applied consistently from year to year and cannot be changed without the consent of the IRS), such holder will determine the U.S. dollar value of the amount realized in a foreign currency by translating the amount received at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale. If our common shares are not treated as traded on an established securities market, or the relevant U.S. Holder is an accrual basis taxpayer that is not eligible to or does not elect to determine the amount realized using the spot rate on the settlement date, such U.S. Holder will recognize foreign currency gain or loss to the extent of any difference between the U.S. dollar amount realized on the date of disposition (as determined above) and the U.S. dollar value of the currency received at the spot rate on the settlement date. A U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in our common shares will equal the cost of such common shares. If a U.S. Holder used foreign currency to purchase our common shares, the cost of our common shares will be the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency purchase price on the date of purchase. If our common shares are treated as traded on an established securities market and the relevant U.S. Holder is either a cash basis taxpayer or an accrual basis taxpayer who has made the special election described above, such holder will determine the U.S. dollar value of the cost of such common shares by translating the amount paid at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the purchase.
Net Investment Income Tax
Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates or trusts that do not fall into a special class of trusts that is exempt from such tax will be subject to a 3.8% “net investment income” tax on the lesser of (1) the U.S. Holder’s “net investment
167

income” (or “undistributed net investment income” in the case of an estate or trust) for the relevant taxable year and (2) the excess of the U.S. Holder’s modified adjusted gross income for the taxable year over a certain threshold (which in the case of individuals is between $125,000 and $250,000, depending on the individual’s circumstances). A U.S. Holder’s net investment income generally includes its dividend income and its net gains from the disposition of common shares, unless such dividend income or net gains are derived in the ordinary course of the conduct of a trade or business (other than a trade or business that consists of certain passive or trading activities). Each U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate or trust is urged to consult its tax advisors regarding the applicability of the “net investment income” tax to its income and gains in respect of its investment in the common shares.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
In general, dividends on common shares, and payments of the proceeds of a sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of common shares, paid within the U.S. or through certain U.S. related financial intermediaries to a U.S. Holder are subject to information reporting and may be subject to backup withholding unless the holder is an exempt recipient or, in the case of backup withholding, provides an accurate taxpayer identification number and certifies under penalty of perjury that the holder is a U.S. person and is not subject to backup withholding.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules generally will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Certain U.S. Holders who hold interests in “specified foreign financial assets” (as defined in Section 6038D of the Code) are generally required to file an IRS Form 8938 as part of their U.S. federal income tax returns to report their ownership of such specified foreign financial assets, which may include our common shares, if the total value of those assets exceeds certain thresholds. Financial assets that are held through a U.S. financial institution are not subject to this reporting requirement. Investors who fail to report this required information could become subject to substantial penalties. In addition, in the event a U.S. Holder that is required to file IRS Form 8938 does not file such form, the statute of limitations on the assessment and collection of U.S. federal income taxes of such holder for the related tax year may not close until three years after the date that the required information is filed. U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding their tax reporting obligations.

Item 15. Controls and Procedures
a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation pursuant to Rule 13a-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2020. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on this evaluation, our company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2020.
b) Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer that: (i) pertains to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets; (ii) provides reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements for external reporting in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of the Company’s management and directors; and (iii) provides reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedure may deteriorate. The Company, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020.
We assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). As a result of this assessment, the Company’s management has determined that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.
c) Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 has been audited by Price Waterhouse & Co S.R.L, an independent registered public accounting firm, our independent auditor, as stated in their report which is included herein at page F-2 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
d) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
As required by Rule 13a-15(d), under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the period covered since the last report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this evaluation, it has been determined that there has been no
170

change during the period covered by this annual report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 16.
Item 16 A.Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our audit committee consists of three independent directors: Mr. Mark Schachter, Mr. Andrés Velasco Brañes and Mr. Ivo Sarjanovic. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Mark Schachter has the attributes of an “audit committee financial expert” and is independent within the meaning of this Item 16A and satisfies the financial literacy requirements of the NYSE.
Item 16 B.Code of Ethics
We have adopted a code of ethics and business conduct that applies to our directors, executive officers and all employees. The text of our code of ethics is posted on our web site at: www.adecoagro.com.
Item 16 C.Principal Accountant Fees and Services
The following table sets forth the aggregate fees by categories specified below in connection with certain professional services rendered by Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L., a member firm of Price WaterhouseCoopers International Limited Network, an independent registered accounting public firm and our principal external auditors, for the periods indicated. Except as set forth below, we did not pay any other fees to our auditors during the periods indicated below.

(1)“Audit fees” means the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by our principal auditors for the audit of our Consolidated Financial Statements and internal control over financial reporting of the Company, the statutory financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, and any other audit services required for the SEC or other regulatory filings.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, no non-audit-related services were provided by our principal auditors.
Audit Committee Approval Policies and Procedures
The Audit Committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures requiring that all audit and non-audit services performed by our independent auditors must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee annually reviews and pre-approves the services that may be provided by the independent auditors without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. Any service proposals submitted by external auditors that are not pre-approved services need to be discussed and approved by the Audit Committee during its meetings. Once the proposed service is approved, we or our subsidiaries formalize the engagement of services.
The Audit Committee or its Chairman, or any member of the Audit Committee to whom such authority is delegated, may approve in advance any permitted audit or permitted non-audit services and fees up to a predetermined amount. The Audit Committee is authorized to establish other policies and procedures for the pre-approval of such services and fees. The Audit Committee approved all of the non-audit services described above and determined that the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining the independence of Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L.

Item 16 G.Corporate Governance
Our corporate governance practices are governed by Luxembourg law (particularly the law of August 10th, 1915 on commercial companies) and our articles of association. As a Luxembourg company listed on the NYSE, we are not required to comply with all of the corporate governance listing standards of the NYSE. We, however, believe that our corporate governance practices meet or exceed, in all material respects, the corporate governance standards that are generally required for controlled companies by the NYSE. The following is a summary of the significant ways that our corporate governance practices differ from the corporate governance standards required for listed U.S. companies by the NYSE (provided that our corporate governance practices may differ in non-material ways from the standards required by the NYSE that are not detailed here):
172

Majority of Independent Directors
Under NYSE standards, U.S. listed companies must have a majority of independent directors. There is no legal obligation under Luxembourg law to have a majority of independent directors on the board of directors.
Non-management Directors’ Meetings
Under NYSE standards, non-management directors must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management present and, if such group includes directors who are not independent, a meeting should be scheduled once per year including only independent directors. Neither Luxembourg law nor our Articles of Association require the holding of such meetings and we do not have a set policy for these meetings. Our Articles of Association provide, however, that the board shall meet as often as required by the best interest of the Company. For additional information, see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—A. Directors and Senior Management.”
Communication with Non-Management Directors
NYSE-listed companies are required to provide a method for interested parties to communicate directly with the non-management directors as a group. Shareholders may send communications to the Company’s non-management directors by writing to Mr. Plínio Musetti at Rua Amauri, 255 - 17th Floor, Jardim Europa, São Paulo, SP 01448-000, Brazil, telephone: (5511) 3035-1588. Communications will be referred to the Presiding Director for appropriate action. The status of all outstanding concerns addressed to the Presiding Director will be reported to the board of directors as appropriate.
Audit Committee
Under NYSE standards, listed U.S. companies are required to have an audit committee composed of independent directors that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act of 1934. Our Articles of Association provide that the board of directors may set up an audit committee. The board of directors has set up an Audit Committee and has appointed Mr. Mark Schachter , Mr. Ivo Andrés Sarjanovic and Mr. Andres Velasco Brañes as members of its audit committee. In accordance with NYSE standards, we have an audit committee entirely composed of independent directors. For additional information, see “Item 6. Directors, Senior Management and Employees—C. Board Practices”.
Under NYSE standards, all audit committee members of listed U.S. companies are required to be financially literate or must acquire such financial knowledge within a reasonable period and at least one of its members shall have experience in accounting or financial administration. In addition, if a member of the audit committee is simultaneously a member of the audit committee of more than three public companies, and the listed company does not limit the number of audit committees on which its members may serve, then in each case the board must determine whether the simultaneous service would prevent such member from effectively serving on the listed company’s audit committee and shall publicly disclose its decision. No comparable provisions on audit committee membership exist under Luxembourg law or our articles of association.
Standards for Evaluating Director Independence
Under NYSE standards, the board is required, on a case by case basis, to express an opinion with regard to the independence or lack of independence of each individual director. Neither Luxembourg law nor our Articles of Association require the board to express such an opinion. In addition, the definition of “independent” under the rules of the NYSE differs in some non-material respects from the definition contained in our Articles of Association.
Audit Committee Responsibilities
Pursuant to our Articles of Association, the audit committee shall assist the board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, including periodically reporting to the board of directors on its activity and the adequacy of the Company’s system of internal controls over financial reporting. As per the audit committee charter, as amended, the audit committee shall make recommendations for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of, and consider the independence of, the company’s external auditors. The audit committee is required to review material transactions (as defined by the Articles of Association) between us or our subsidiaries with related parties, perform such other duties imposed to it by laws and regulations of the regulated market(s) on which the shares of the Company are listed, and also perform the other duties entrusted to it by the board.
The NYSE requires certain matters to be set forth in the audit committee charter of U.S. listed companies. Our audit committee charter provides for many of the responsibilities that are expected from such bodies under the NYSE standard;
173

however, due to our equity structure and holding company nature, the charter does not contain all such responsibilities, including provisions related to setting hiring policies for employees or former employees of independent auditors.
Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee.
The NYSE requires that a listed U.S. company have a nominating/corporate governance committee of independent directors and a committee charter specifying the purpose, duties and evaluation procedures of the committee. As permitted under Luxembourg law and our Articles of Association, we do not currently have a nominating or corporate governance committee.
Shareholder Voting on Equity Compensation Plans
Under NYSE standards, shareholders of U.S. listed companies must be given the opportunity to vote on equity compensation plans and material revisions thereto, except for employment inducement awards, certain grants, plans and amendments in the context of mergers and acquisitions, and certain specific types of plans. Neither Luxembourg corporate law nor our articles of incorporation require shareholder approval of equity based compensation plans. Luxembourg law only requires approval of the board of directors for the adoption of equity based compensation plans.
Disclosure of Corporate Governance Guidelines
NYSE-listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines. Neither Luxembourg law nor our Articles of Association require the adoption or disclosure of corporate governance guidelines. Our board of directors follows corporate governance guidelines consistent with our equity structure and holding company nature, but we have not codified them and therefore do not disclose them on our website.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Under NYSE standards, listed companies must adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers. Neither Luxembourg law nor our Articles of Association require the adoption or disclosure of such a code of conduct.
We have adopted a code of ethics and business conduct that applies to our directors, executive officers and all employees. The text of our code of ethics is posted on our web site at: www.adecoagro.com. And substantially complies with the NYSE´s requirements under the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
Chief Executive Officer Certification
A chief executive officer of a U.S. company listed on NYSE must annually certify that he or she is not aware of any violation by the company of NYSE corporate governance standards. In accordance with NYSE rules applicable to foreign private issuers, our chief executive officer is not required to provide NYSE with this annual compliance certification. However, in accordance with NYSE rules applicable to all listed companies, our chief executive officer must promptly notify NYSE in writing after any of our executive officers becomes aware of any noncompliance with any applicable provision of NYSE’s corporate governance standards. In addition, we must submit an executed written affirmation annually and an interim written affirmation each time a change occurs to the board or the audit committee.

Adecoagro S.A.
Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Adecoagro S.A.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Adecoagro S.A. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 202’, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 34.1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases in 2019.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 15. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail,
F-2

accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Valuation of Level 3 Biological Assets
As described in Notes 16, 33 (b) and 34.11 to the consolidated financial statements, the total fair value of the Company’s level 3 biological assets related to sown land – crops, sown land – rice and sown land – sugarcane was US$ 148 million at December 31, 2020. Fair value of these biological assets is determined by management using a discounted cash flows model which requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including significant unobservable inputs. The discounted cash flow model included significant judgements and assumptions relating to management’s cash flow projections including future market prices, estimated yields at the point of harvest, estimated production cycle, future costs of harvesting and others cost and estimated discount rate.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the valuation of the Company’s level 3 biological assets related to sown land – crops, sown land – rice and sown land – sugarcane is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value measurement; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgement, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s cash flow projections and significant assumptions related to future market prices, estimated yields at the point of harvest, estimated production cycle, future costs of harvesting and others cost and estimated discount rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the valuation of the Company’s level 3 biological assets related to sown land – crops, sown land – rice and sown land – sugarcane. These procedures also included, among others, evaluating the significant assumptions and methods used by management in developing the fair value measurement including future market prices, estimated yields at the point of harvest, estimated production cycle, future costs of harvesting and others cost and estimated discount rate. Evaluating management’s assumptions involved evaluating whether these assumptions were reasonable considering the consistency with external information and past records and testing management’s sensitivity analysis of certain significant assumptions. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of certain significant assumptions, including estimated yields at the point of harvest and estimated production cycle.
Property, Plant and Equipment and Goodwill Impairment Assessment- Cash Generating Units with Allocated Goodwill in Brazil
As described in Notes 12, 15, 33 (a) and 34.10 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated property, plant and equipment and goodwill balances at December 31, 2020 were US$ 1,358 million and US$ 14.5 million, respectively, of which US$ 519 million was allocated to the cash generating units with
F-3

allocated goodwill in Brazil. The Company conducts an impairment test as of September 30 of each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset or cash generating unit may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or, where an individual asset does not generate cash flows independently, the recoverable amount is estimated for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. The recoverable amount of the asset or the cash generating unit is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The recoverable amount of cash generating units with allocated goodwill in Brazil was determined based on value in use calculations. The determination of the value in use calculation required the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to management’s cash flow projections, including yield average growth rates, future pricing increases, future cost decrease, discount rates and perpetuity growth rate.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and goodwill associated with the cash generating units with allocated goodwill in Brazil is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the value in use calculation of these cash generating units; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s cash flow projections and significant assumptions related to yield average growth rates, future pricing increases, future cost decrease, discount rates and perpetuity growth rate; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s impairment assessment of property, plant and equipment and goodwill associated with the cash generating units with allocated goodwill in Brazil, including controls over the valuation of the Company’s cash generating units. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the estimate; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the model; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to yield average growth rates, future pricing increases, future cost decrease, discount rates and perpetuity growth rate. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to yield average growth rates, future pricing increases, future cost decrease, discount rates and perpetuity growth rate involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the cash generating units; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted cash flow model and the discount rate assumptions.

2. Financial risk management
Risk management principles and processes
The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize the Group’s capital costs by using suitable means of financing and to manage and control the Group’s financial risks effectively. The Group uses financial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.
The Group’s approach to the identification, assessment and mitigation of risk is carried out by a Risk and Commercial Committee, which focuses on timely and appropriate management of risk.
The principal financial risks are related to raw material price, end-product price, exchange rate, interest rate, liquidity and credit. This section provides a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s strategy, performance, results of operations and financial condition. These risks do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.
In Argentina, ongoing economical events forced the government to impose certain restrictions in the exchange markets, such as:
–Dividends payments to non residents.
– Set specific deadlines to enter and settle exports
– Prior authorization of the BCRA for the formation of external assets for companies
– Prior authorization of the BCRA for the payment of debts related to companies abroad
– Deferral of payment of certain public debt instruments.
– Fuel price control
•Exchange rate risk
The Group’s cash flows, statement of income and statement of financial position are presented in U.S. Dollars and may be affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. Currency risks as defined by IFRS 7 arise on account of monetary assets and liabilities being denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency.
A significant majority of the Group’s business activities is conducted in the respective functional currencies of the subsidiaries (primarily the Brazilian Reais and the Argentine Peso). However, the Group may transact in currencies other than the respective functional currencies, mainly the U.S. Dollars. As such, these subsidiaries may hold U.S. Dollar denominated monetary balances at each year-end as indicated in the tables below.

2. Financial risk management (continued)
The Group’s net financial position exposure to the U.S. Dollar is managed on a case-by-case basis, partly by hedging certain expected cash flows with foreign exchange derivative contracts.
The following tables show the net monetary position of the respective subsidiaries within the Group categorized by functional currency. Non-U.S. Dollar amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars for purpose of these tables.

| 2020

The Group’s analysis shown on the tables below is carried out based on the exposure of each functional currency subsidiary against the U.S. Dollar. The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a hypothetical 10% appreciation/depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the respective functional currencies for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have decreased/increased the Group’s Profit before income tax for the year. A 10% depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the functional currencies would have an equal and opposite effect on the income statement. A portion of this effect would have been recognized as other comprehensive income since a portion of the Company’s borrowings was used as cash flow hedge of the foreign exchange rate risk of a portion of its highly probable future sales in U.S. Dollars (see Hedge Accounting - Cash Flow Hedge below for details).

| Functional currency
Net monetary position | Argentine Peso | Brazilian Reais | Uruguayan Peso | Total
2020 | U.S. Dollar | (19,335) |  | (30,761) |  | 2,072 |  | (48,024) |
2019 | U.S. Dollar | (31,730) |  | (43,860) |  | 2,159 |  | (73,431) |

The tables above only consider the effect of a hypothetical appreciation / depreciation of the U.S. Dollars on the Group’s net financial position. A hypothetical appreciation / depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the functional currencies of the Group’s subsidiaries has historically had a positive / negative effect, respectively, on the fair value of the Group’s biological assets and the end prices of the Group’s agriculture produce, both of which are generally linked to the U.S. Dollar.

2. Financial risk management (continued)
Hedge Accounting Cash Flow Hedge
Effective July 1, 2013, the Group formally documented and designated cash flow hedging relationships to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk of a portion of its highly probable future sales in U.S. Dollars using a portion of its borrowings denominated in U.S. Dollars, currency forwards and foreign currency floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps.
Principal amounts of long-term borrowings (non-derivative financial instruments) and notional values of foreign currency forward contracts (derivative financial instruments) were designated as hedging instruments. These instruments are exposed to Brazilian Reais/ U.S. Dollar foreign currency risks related to operations in Brazil and Argentine Peso/U.S. Dollar in Argentina, respectively. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, approximately 15.0% and 19.5%, respectively, of projected sales qualify as highly probable forecast transactions for hedge accounting purposes and were designated as hedged items.
The Group has prepared formal documentation in order to support the designation above, including an explanation of how the designation of the hedging relationship is aligned with the Group’s Risk Management Policy, identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged transactions, the nature of the risk being hedged and an analysis which demonstrates that the hedge is expected to be highly effective. The Group reassesses the prospective and retrospective effectiveness of the hedge on an ongoing basis comparing the foreign currency component of the carrying amount of the hedging instruments and of the highly probable future sales.
Under cash flow hedge accounting, effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on derivative and non-derivative hedging instruments not be immediately recognized in profit or loss, but be reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the periods when the future sales occur, thus allowing for a more appropriate presentation of the results for the period reflecting the strategy in the Group’s Risk Management Policy.
The Company expects that the cash flows will occur and affect profit or loss between 2021 and 2025.
For the year ended December 31, 2020, a total amount before income tax of US$ 46,145 gain (US$ 54,312 gain in 2019) was recognized in other comprehensive income and an amount of US$ 26,031 loss (US$ 15,594 loss in 2019) was reclassified from equity to profit or loss within “Financial results, net”.
•Raw material price risk
Inflation in the costs of raw materials and goods and services from industry suppliers and manufacturers presents risks to project economics. A significant portion of the Group’s cost structure includes the cost of raw materials primarily seeds, fertilizers and agrochemicals, among others. Prices for these raw materials may vary significantly.
•End-product price risk
Prices for commodity products have historically been cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions and changes in capacity within the industry, which affect the profitability of entities engaged in the agribusiness industry. The Group combines different actions to minimize price risk. A percentage of crops are to be sold during and post harvest period. The Group manages minimum and maximum prices for each commodity as well as gross margin per each crop as to decide when and how to sell. End-product price risks are hedged if economically viable and possible by entering into forward contracts with major trading houses or by using derivative financial instruments, consisting mainly of crops and sugar future contracts, but also includes occasionally put and call options. A movement in end-product futures prices would result in a change in the fair value of the end product hedging contracts. These fair value changes, after taxes, are recorded in the consolidated statement of income.

2. Financial risk management (continued)
Contract positions are designed to ensure that the Group would receive a defined minimum price for certain quantities of its production. The counterparties to these instruments generally are major financial institutions. In entering into these contracts, the Group has assumed the risk that might arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Group does not expect any material losses as a result of counterparty defaults. The Group is also obliged to pay margin deposits and premiums for these instruments. These estimates represent only the sensitivity of the financial instruments to market risk and not the Group exposure to end product price risks as a whole, since the crops and cattle products sales are not financial instruments within the scope of IFRS 7 disclosure requirements.
Liquidity risk
The Group is exposed to liquidity risks, including risks associated with refinancing borrowings as they mature, and that borrowing facilities are not available to meet cash requirements. Failure to manage liquidity risks could have a material impact on the Group’s cash flow and statement of financial position.
Prudent liquidity risk management includes managing the profile of debt maturities and funding sources close oversight of cash flows projections, maintaining sufficient cash, and ensuring the availability of funding from an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Group's ability to fund its existing and prospective debt requirements is managed by maintaining diversified funding sources with adequate available funding lines from high quality lenders; and reaching to have long-term financial facilities.
As of December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents of the Group totaled US$ 336.3 million, which could be used for managing liquidity risk.
The tables below analyzes the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the statement of financial position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows and as a result they do not reconcile to the amounts disclosed on the statement of financial position except for short-term payables where discounting is not applied.

•Interest rate risk
The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings at floating rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The interest rate profile of the Group's borrowings is set out in Note 27.

2. Financial risk management (continued)
The Group occasionally manages its cash flow interest rate risk exposure by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates to fixed rates.
The following tables show a breakdown of the Group’s fixed-rate and floating-rate borrowings per currency denomination and functional currency of the subsidiary issuing the loans. These analyses are performed after giving effect to interest rate swaps.
The analysis for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

| 2020
| Subsidiaries’ functional currency
Rate per currency denomination | Argentine Peso | Brazilian Reais | Uruguayan Peso | U.S. Dollar | Total

Total borrowings as per statement of financial position | 178,538 |  | 285,291 |  | 2,002 |  | 505,259 |  | 971,090 |

| 2019

Subtotal variable-rate borrowings | 79,339 |  | 20,481 |  | — |  | — |  | 99,820 |
Total borrowings as per statement of financial position | 208,352 |  | 240,001 |  | 15,113 |  | 504,814 |  | 968,280 |

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, if interest rates on floating-rate borrowings had been 1% higher with all other variables held constant, the Group’s Profit before income tax for the years would have decreased as shown below. A 1% decrease in interest rates would have an equal and opposite effect on the income statement.

The sensitivity analysis has been determined assuming that the change in interest rates had occurred at the date of the statement of financial position and had been applied to the exposure to interest rate risk for financial instruments in existence at that date. The 100 basis point increase or decrease represents management's assessment of a reasonable possible change in those interest rates, which have the most impact on the Group, specifically the United States and Brazilian rates over the period until the next annual statement of financial position date.
•Credit risk
The Group’s exposures to credit risk arise in certain agreements in relation to amounts owed for physical product sales, the use of derivative instruments, and the investment of surplus cash balances. The Group is also exposed to political and economic risk events, which may cause non-payment of foreign currency obligations to the Group.
The Group’s policy is to manage credit exposure to trading counterparties within defined trading limits. All of the Group’s significant counterparties are assigned internal credit limits.
The Group sells to a large base of customers. Type and class of customers may differ depending on the Group’s business segments. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, more than 80% and 96%, respectively, of the Group’s sales of crops were sold to 36 and 42 well-known customers (both multinational and local) with good credit history with the Group. In the Sugar, Ethanol and Energy segment, sales of ethanol were concentrated in 46 and 52 customers, which represented 100% of total sales of ethanol for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Approximately 78% and 86% of the Group’s sales of sugar were concentrated in 76 and 66 well-known traders for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The remaining 22% and 14%, which mainly relates to “crystal sugar”, were dispersed among several customers. In 2020 and 2019, energy sales are 96% and 94% concentrated in 52 major customers. In the dairy segment, 65% and 70% of the sales were concentrated in 21 and 36 well-known customers in 2020 and 2019, respectively.
No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting periods and management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties. If any of the Group’s customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. Otherwise, the Group assesses the credit quality of the customer taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors (see Note 18 for details). The Group may seek cash collateral, letter of credit or parent company guarantees, as considered appropriate. Sales to customers are primarily made by credit with customary payment terms. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the statement of financial position after deducting any impairment allowance. The Group’s exposure of credit risk arising from trade receivables is set out in Note 19.

2. Financial risk management (continued)
The Group is exposed to counterparty credit risk on cash and cash equivalent balances. The Group holds cash on deposit with a number of financial institutions. The Group manages its credit risk exposure by limiting individual deposits to clearly defined limits. The Group only deposits with high quality banks and financial institutions. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the total amount of cash and cash equivalents mainly comprise cash in banks and short-term bank deposits. The Group is authorized to transact with banks rated “BBB+” or higher. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 6 and 8 banks (primarily JP Morgan, Banco Safra, Itaú Nassau, Credit Agricole, Credit Suisse and Banco Itaú) accounted for more than 81% and 85%, respectively, of the total cash deposited. The remaining amount of cash and cash equivalents relates to cash in hand. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the Group invested in fixed-term bank deposits with mainly five bank (ING, Credit Agricole, Credit Suisse, JP Morgan and Banco Galicia y Buenos Aires) and also entered into derivative contracts (currency forward). The Group’s exposure of credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents is set out in Note 21.
The Group’s primary objective for holding derivative financial instruments is to manage currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk. The Group generally enters into derivative transactions with high-credit-quality counterparties and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one counterparty based on an analysis of that counterparty's relative credit standing. The amounts subject to credit risk related to derivative instruments are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which counterparty's obligations exceed the obligations with that counterparty.
The Group also entered into crop commodity futures traded in the established trading markets of Argentina and Brazil through well-rated brokers. Management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.
•Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, it may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or buy own shares or sell assets to reduce debt. Consistent with others in the industry, the Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as total debt (including current and non-current borrowings as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position, if applicable) divided by total capital. Total capital is calculated as equity, as shown in the consolidated statement of financial position, plus total borrowings. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the strategy was to maintain the gearing ratio within 0.40 to 0.60, as follows:

| 2020 |  | 2019
Total borrowings | 971,090 |  |  | 968,280 |
Total equity | 963,724 |  |  | 1,028,883 |
Total capital | 1,934,814 |  |  | 1,997,163 |
Gearing ratio | 0.50 |  |  | 0.48 |

•Derivative financial instruments
As part of its business operations, the Group uses a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to the financial risks discussed above. As part of this strategy, the Group may enter into derivatives of (i) interest rate to manage the composition of floating and fixed rate debt; (ii) currency to manage exchange rate risk, and (iii) crop (future contracts and put and call options) to manage its exposure to price volatility stemming from its integrated crop production activities. The Group’s policy is not to use derivatives for speculative purposes.

Derivative financial instruments involve, to a varying degree, elements of market and credit risk not recognized in the financial statements. The market risk associated with these instruments resulting from price movements is expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities, being hedged. The counterparties to the agreements relating to the Group’s contracts generally are large institutions with credit ratings equal to or higher than BBB+. The Group continually monitors the credit rating of such counterparties and seeks to limit its financial exposure to any one financial institution. While the contract or notional amounts of derivative financial instruments provide one measure of the volume of these transactions, they do not represent the amount of the Group’s exposure to credit risk. The amounts potentially subject to credit risk (arising from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts) are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties’ obligations under the contracts exceed the Group’s obligations to the counterparties.
The following tables show the outstanding positions for each type of derivative contract as of the date of each statement of financial position:

▪Interest rate swap
In December 31, 2020 the Group's subsidiary in Brazil, Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema entered into a interest rate swap operation with Itaú BBA in an aggregate amount of US$ 400 million. In these operation Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema receives IPCA (Extended National Consumer Price Index) plus 4.24% per year, and pays CDI (an interbank floating interest rate in Reais) plus 1.85% per year. This swap expires semiannually until December, 2026. This contract resulted in a recognition of a gain of US$ 1.8 million in 2020.
▪Currency forward
During the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 the Group entered into several currency forward contracts with Brazilian banks in order to hedge the fluctuation of the Brazilian Reais against the U.S. Dollar for a total aggregate amount of US$ 23.8 million. These contracts resulted in a recognition of a loss of US$ 1.9 million and US$ 1.1 million in 2020 and 2019 respectively.
During the year ended on December 31, 2020, the Group entered into several currency forward contracts in order to hedge the fluctuation of the U.S. Dollar against Euro for a total notional amount of US$ 2.4 millions. The currency forward contracts maturity date was March 2021. The outstanding contracts resulted in the recognition of a loss amounting to US$ 0.03 million in 2020.
Gains and losses on currency forward contracts are included within “Financial results, net” in the statement of income.
▪Euro-bob price swap
As Petrobras (the Brazilian oil state company) started to track the movements of the international gasoline to set its domestic prices in 2017, the Group's subsidiary in Brazil, Adecoagro Vale do Ivinhema entered into a swap operation in March 2018, which intention was to mitigate the effects of the gasoline volatility in the ethanol prices sold by the company. The swaps expired according to the due dates and as of December 31, 2018 all the swaps positions were already liquidated. The Group recorded a loss of US$ 1.6 million.

3. Segment information
According to IFRS 8, operating segments are identified based on the ‘management approach’. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Group’s CODM is the Management Committee. IFRS 8 stipulates external segment reporting based on the Group’s internal organizational and management structure and on internal financial reporting to the chief operating decision maker.
The Group operates in three major lines of business, namely, Farming; Sugar, Ethanol and Energy; and Land Transformation.
•The Company’s ‘Farming’ is further comprised of three reportable segments:
•The Company’s ‘Crops’ Segment consists of planting, harvesting and sale of grains, oilseeds and fibers (including wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton and sunflowers, among others), and to a lesser extent the provision of grain warehousing/conditioning and handling and drying services to third parties. Each underlying crop in this segment does not represent a separate operating segment. Management seeks to maximize the use of the land through the cultivation of one or more type of crops. Types and surface amount of crops cultivated may vary from harvest year to harvest year depending on several factors, some of them out of the Group´s control. Management is focused on the long-term performance of the productive land, and to that extent, the performance is assessed considering the aggregated combination, if any, of crops planted in the land. A single manager is responsible for the management of operating activity of all crops rather than for each individual crop.
•The Company’s ‘Rice’ Segment consists of planting, harvesting, processing and marketing of rice.
•The Company’s ‘Dairy’ Segment consists of the production and sale of raw milk and industrialized products, including UHT, cheese and powder milk among others.
•The Company’s ‘All Other Segments’ consists of the aggregation of the remaining non-reportable operating segments, which do not meet the quantitative thresholds for disclosure, namely, Coffee and Cattle.
•The Company’s ‘Sugar, Ethanol and Energy’ Segment consists of cultivating sugarcane which is processed in owned sugar mills, transformed into ethanol, sugar and electricity and marketed;
•The Company’s ‘Land Transformation’ Segment comprises the (i) identification and acquisition of underdeveloped and undermanaged farmland businesses; and (ii) realization of value through the strategic disposition of assets (generating profits).
Total segment assets and liabilities are measured in a manner consistent with that of the Consolidated Financial Statements. These assets and liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset.
Effective July 1, 2018, the Group applied IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” (“IAS 29”) to its operations in Argentina. IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be adjusted for the effects of changes in the general price index and be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period (“inflation accounting”). In order to determine whether an economy is classified as hyperinflationary, IAS 29 sets forth a series of factors to be considered, including whether the amount of cumulative inflation nears or exceeds a threshold of 100 %. Accordingly, Argentina has been classified as a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29 from July 1, 2018. (Please see Note 34 - Basis of preparation and presentations).
According to IAS 29, all Argentine Peso-denominated non-monetary items in the statement of financial position are adjusted by applying a general price index from the date they were initially recognized to the end of the reporting period. Likewise, all Argentine Peso-denominated items in the statement of income should be expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, consequently, income statement items are adjusted by applying a general price index

3. Segment information (continued)
on a monthly basis from the dates they were initially recognized in the financial statements to the end of the reporting period. This process is called “re-measurement”.
Once the re-measurement process is completed, all Argentine Peso denominated accounts are translated into U.S. Dollars, the Group’s reporting currency, applying the guidelines in IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”(“IAS 21”). IAS 21 requires that amounts be translated at the closing rate at the date of the most recent statement of financial position. This process is called “translation”.
The re-measurement and translation processes are applied on a monthly basis until year-end. Due to this process, the re-measured and translated results of operations for a given month are subject to change until year-end, affecting comparison and analysis.
Following the adoption of IAS 29 to the Argentine operations of the Group, management revised the information reviewed by the CODM. Accordingly, as from July 1, 2018, (commencement of hyper-inflation accounting in Argentina), the information provided to the CODM departs from the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 re-measurement and translation processes as follows. The segment results of the Argentinean operations for each reporting period were adjusted for inflation and translated into the Group’s reporting currency using the reporting period average exchange rate. The translated amounts were not subsequently re-measured and translated in accordance with the IAS 29 and IAS 21 procedures outlined above. From January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2018, the Group’s segment results were still based on the IFRS measurement principles adopted until June 30, 2018.
In order to evaluate the economic performance of businesses on a monthly basis, results of operations in Argentina are based on monthly data that has been adjusted for inflation and converted into the average exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar each month. These already converted figures are subsequently not readjusted and reconverted as described above under IAS 29 and IAS 21. It should be noted that this translation methodology for evaluating segment information is the same that the company uses to translate results of operation from its other subsidiaries from other countries that have not been designated hyperinflationary economies because it allows for a more accurate analysis of the economic performance of its business as a whole.
The Group’s CODM believes that the exclusion of the re-measurement and translation processes from the segment reporting structure allows for a more useful presentation and facilitates period-to-period comparison and performance analysis.
The following tables show a reconciliation of each reportable segment as per the information reviewed by the CODM and the reportable segment measured in accordance with IAS 29 and IAS 21 as per the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Tax loss carry forwards in Argentina and Uruguay generally expire within 5 years. Tax loss carry forwards in Brazil and Luxembourg do not expire. However, in Brazil, the taxable profit for each year can only be reduced by tax loss carry forward up to a maximum of 30%.
In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset, the Group will need to generate future taxable income in the countries where the tax loss carry forward were incurred. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future

10. Taxation (continued)
taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes that as at December 31, 2020, it is probable that the Group will realize some portion of the deferred tax assets in Brazil and Argentina.
As of December 31, 2020, the Group’s tax loss carry forwards and their corresponding jurisdictions are as follows:

Jurisdiction |  | Tax loss carry forward |  | Expiration period
Argentina (1) |  | 92,845 |  |  | 5 years
Brazil |  | 123,509 |  |  | No expiration date.
Uruguay |  | 4,895 |  |  | 5 years
Luxembourg |  | 34,832 |  |  | No expiration date.

(1) As of December 31, 2020, the aging of the determination tax loss carry forward in Argentina is as follows:

Year of generation |  | Amount
2016 |  | 701 |
2017 |  | 6,966 |
2018 |  | 19,181 |
2019 |  | 52,126 |
2020 |  | 13,871 |

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for tax loss carry-forwards to the extent that the realization of the related tax benefit through future taxable profits is probable. The Group did not recognize deferred income tax assets of US$ 5.3 million as of December 31, 2020, in respect of losses amounting to US$ 20.2 million that can be carried forward against future taxable income.
The tax on the Group’s profit before income tax differs from the theoretical amount that would arise using the weighted average tax rate applicable to profits of the consolidated entities as follows:

11. Earnings per share
(a) Basic
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Group by the weighted average number of shares in issue during the period excluding ordinary shares held as treasury shares (Note 24).

| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Profit / (loss) from operations attributable to equity holders of the Group | 412 |  |  | (772) |  |  | (24,622) |
Weighted average number of shares in issue (thousands) | 117,453 |  |  | 117,252 |  |  | 116,637 |
Basic earnings / (loss) per share from operations | 0.003 |  |  | (0.007) |  |  | (0.211) |

(b) Diluted
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential shares. The Group has two categories of dilutive potential shares: equity-settled share options and restricted units. For these instruments, a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value, based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the equity-settled share options. As of December 31, 2020, there were 261 thousands (2019: 645 thousands; 2018: 851 thousands) share options/restricted units outstanding that could potentially have a dilutive impact in the future but were antidilutive for the periods presented.

| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Profit / (loss) from operations attributable to equity holders of the Group | 412 |  |  | (772) |  |  | (24,622) |
Weighted average number of shares in issue (thousands) | 117,453 |  |  | 117,252 |  |  | 116,637 |
Adjustments for: |  |  |  |  |

12. Property, plant and equipment (continued)
(*) Brazilian federal tax law allows entities to take a percentage of the total cost of the assets purchased as a tax credit. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, ICMS (Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Prestação de Serviços) tax credits were reclassified to trade and other receivables.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocated their cost over the estimated usefull lives. Farmlands are not depreciated.

Farmland improvements | 5-25 years
Buildings and facilities | 20 years
Furniture and fittings | 10 years
Computer equipment | 3-5 years
Machinery and equipment | 4-10 years
Vehicles | 4-5 years
Bearer plants | 6 years - based on productivity

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date.
Farmlands are measured at fair value. For all farmlands with a total valuation of US$ 694 million as of December 31, 2020, the valuation was determined using sales Comparison Approach prepared by an independent expert. Sale prices of comparable properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare (Level 3). The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% reduction on the Sales price for the period ended December 31, 2020 would have reduced the value of the farmlands on US$ 69 million (2019: US$71 million), which would impact, net of its tax effect on the "Revaluation surplus" item in the statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity. If farmlands were stated on the historical cost basis, the amount as of December 31, 2020 would be US$ 194 million.
Depreciation charges are included in “Cost of production of Biological Assets”, “Cost of production of manufactures products”, “General and administrative expenses”, “Selling expenses” and capitalized in “Property, plant and equipment” for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, borrowing costs of US$ 3,861 (2019:US$ 13,904) were capitalized as components of the cost of acquisition or construction for qualifying assets.
Certain of the Group’s assets have been pledged as collateral to secure the Group’s borrowings and other payables. The net book value of the pledged assets amounts to US$ 451,904 as of December 31, 2020 (2019: US$ 324,129).

The accounting policy for all Investment properties are measured at Fair Value. For all Investment properties with a total valuation of US$ 31.2 million and US$ 34.2 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 respectively, the valuation was determined using Sales Comparison Approach prepared by an independent expert. Sale prices of comparable properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare (Level 3). The increase /decrease in the Fair value is recognized in the Statement of income under the line item "Other operating income, net". The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% reduction on the Sales price for the period ended December 31,

18. Financial instruments by category
The Group classified its financial assets in the following categories:
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. For all years presented, the Group’s financial assets at fair value through profit or loss comprise mainly derivative financial instruments.
(b) Financial assets at amortized cost.
Financial assets at amortized cost, namely loans and receivables, are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Loans and receivables comprise “trade and other receivables” and “cash and cash equivalents” in the statement of financial position.
The following tables show the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities by category of financial instrument and reconciliation to the corresponding line item in the statements of financial position, as appropriate. Since the line items “Trade and other receivables, net” and “Trade and other payables” contain both financial instruments and non-financial assets or liabilities (such as other tax receivables or advance payments for services to be received in the future), the reconciliation is shown in the columns headed “Non-financial assets” and “Non-financial liabilities”.

Because of the short maturities of most trade accounts receivable and payable, other receivables and liabilities, and cash and cash equivalents, their carrying amounts at the closing date do not differ significantly from their respective fair values. The fair value of long-term borrowings is disclosed in Note 27.

Determining fair values
IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. All financial instruments recognized at fair value are allocated to one of the valuation hierarchy levels of IFRS 13. This valuation hierarchy provides for three levels. The allocation reflects which of the fair values derive from transactions in the market and where valuation is based on models because market transactions are lacking. The level in the fair value hierarchy is categorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the financial instruments recognized at fair value on the statement of financial position comprise derivative financial instruments.
In the case of Level 1, valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets that the Group can refer to at the date of the statement of financial position. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise crop futures and options traded on the stock market.
Derivatives not traded on the stock market allocated to Level 2 are valued using models based on observable market data. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise interest-rate swaps and foreign-currency interest-rate swaps.
In the case of Level 3, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as no observable market data are available. The Group does not have financial instruments allocated to this level for any of the years presented.
The following tables present the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and their allocation to the fair value hierarchy:

|  |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Total

There were no transfers within level 1 and 2 during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
When no quoted prices in an active market are available, fair values (particularly with derivatives) are based on recognized valuation methods. The Group uses a range of valuation models for this purpose, details of which may be obtained from the following table:

The fair values of current trade and other receivables approximate their respective carrying amounts due to their short-term nature. The fair values of non-current trade and other receivables approximate their carrying amount, as the impact of discounting is not significant.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s trade and other receivables are denominated in the following currencies (expressed in U.S. Dollars):

| 2020 |  | 2019
Currency |  |  |
U.S. Dollar | 56,531 |  |  | 37,131 |

Brazilian Reais | 85,153 |  |  | 88,681 |
| 197,928 |  |  | 172,331 |

As of December 31, 2020 trade receivables of US$ 11,623 (2019: US$ 5,052) were past due but not impaired. The aging analysis of these receivables indicates that US$ 977 and US$ 318 are over 6 months in December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
Since January 1, 2018, for trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables.

19. Trade and other receivables, net (continued)
Delinquency in payments was an indicator that a receivable may be impaired. However, management considers all available evidence in determining when a receivable is impaired. Generally, trade receivables, which are more than 180 days past due are fully provided for. However, certain receivables 180+ days overdue are not provided for based on a case-by-case analysis of credit quality analysis. Furthermore, receivables, which are not 180+ days overdue, may be provided for if specific analysis indicates a potential impairment.
Movements on the Group’s allowance for trade receivables are as follows:

| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
At January 1 | 3,773 |  |  | 2,503 |  |  | 1,002 |
Charge of the year | 2,192 |  |  | 3,656 |  |  | 2,468 |

Used during the year | (446) |  |  | (48) |  |  | (281) |
Exchange differences | (785) |  |  | (1,070) |  |  | (449) |
At December 31 | 3,965 |  |  | 3,773 |  |  | 2,503 |

The creation and release of allowance for trade receivables have been included in “Selling expenses” in the statement of income. Amounts charged to the allowance account are generally written off, when there is no expectation of recovering additional cash.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of receivable mentioned above.
As of December 31, 2020, approximately 50% (2019: 25%) of the outstanding unimpaired trade receivables (neither past due not impaired) relate to sales to 24 well-known multinational companies with good credit quality standing, including but not limited to Itersnack Procurement B.V., Camara de Comercializacao de Energia Electrica CCEE, The Real Peunats Company, Interfood Americas S.A., Mastellone Hnos. S.A., Companhia de Distribuição Araguaia, among others. Most of these entities or their parent companies are externally credit-rated. The Group reviews these external ratings from credit agencies.
The remaining percentage as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 of the outstanding unimpaired trade receivables (neither past due nor impaired) relate to sales to a dispersed large quantity of customers for which external credit ratings may not be available. However, the total base of customers without an external credit rating is relatively stable.
New customers with less than six months of history with the Group are closely monitored. The Group has not experienced credit problems with these new customers to date. The majority of the customers for which an external credit rating is not available are existing customers with more than six months of history with the Group and with no defaults in the past. A minor percentage of customers may have experienced some non-significant defaults in the past but fully recovered.

33. Critical accounting estimates and judgments
Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Group’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and require management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that it believes are reasonable. The Group’s critical accounting policies are discussed below.
Actual results could differ from estimates used in employing the critical accounting policies and these could have a material impact on the Group’s results of operations. The Group also has other policies that are considered key accounting policies, such as the policy for revenue recognition. However, these other policies, which are discussed in the notes to the Group’s financial statements, do not meet the definition of critical accounting estimates, because they do not generally require estimates to be made or judgments that are difficult or subjective.
(a)Impairment of non-financial assets
At the date of each statement of financial position, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets could have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independently, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The Group’s property, plant and equipment items generally do not generate independent cash flows.
In the case of Goodwill, any goodwill acquired is allocated to the cash-generating unit (‘CGU’) expected to benefit from the business combination. CGU to which goodwill is allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the CGU may be impaired. The carrying amount of the CGU is compared to its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment review requires management to undertake certain significant judgments, including estimating the recoverable value of the CGU to which goodwill is allocated, based on either fair value less costs-to-sell or the value-in-use, as appropriate, in order to reach a conclusion on whether it deems the goodwill is impaired or not.
For purposes of the impairment testing, each CGU represents the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets.
Farmlands may be used for different activities that may generate independent cash flows. Those farmlands that are used for more than one segment activity (i.e. crops and cattle or rental income), the farmland is further subdivided into two or more CGUs, as appropriate, for purposes of impairment testing. For its properties in Brazil, management identified a farmland together with its related mill as separate CGUs. Most of the farmlands in Argentina and Uruguay are treated as single CGUs.
Based on these criteria, management identified a total amount of 40 CGUs as of September 30, 2020 and 40 CGUs as of September 30, 2019.
As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, due to the fact that there were no impairment indicators, the Group only tested those CGUs with allocated goodwill in Argentina and Brazil.
CGUs tested based on a fair-value-less-costs-to-sell model at September 30, 2020 and 2019:
As of September 30, 2020, the Group identified 11 CGUs in Argentina (2019: 11 CGUs) to be tested based on this model (all CGUs with allocated goodwill). Estimating the fair value less costs-to-sell is based on the best information available, and refers to the amount at which the CGU could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties. Management may be assisted by the work of external advisors. When using this model, the Group applies the “sales comparison approach” as its method of valuing most properties, which relies on results of sales of similar agricultural properties to estimate the value of the CGU. This approach is based on the theory that the fair value of a property is directly related to the selling prices of similar properties.

33. Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)
Fair values are determined by extensive analysis which includes current and potential soil productivity of the land (the ability to produce crops and maintain livestock) projected margins derived from soil use, rental value obtained for soil use, if applicable, and other factors such as climate and location. Farmland ratings are established by considering such factors as soil texture and quality, yields, topography, drainage and rain levels. Farmland may contain farm outbuildings. A farm outbuilding is any improvement or structure that is used for farming operations. Outbuildings are valued based on their size, age and design.
Based on the factors described above, each farm property is assigned different soil classifications for the purposes of establishing a value, Soil classifications quantify the factors that contribute to the agricultural capability of the soil. Soil classifications range from the most productive to the least productive.
The first step to establishing an assessment for a farm property is a sales investigation that identifies the valid farm sales in the area where the farm is located. A price per hectare is assigned for each soil class within each farm property. This price per hectare is determined based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis mainly described above.
The results are then tested against actual sales, if any, and current market conditions to ensure the values produced are accurate, consistent and fair.
The following table shows only the 11 CGUs (2019: 11 CGUs) where goodwill was allocated at each period end and the corresponding amount of goodwill allocated to each one:

CGU / Operating segment / Country |  | September 30, 2020 |  | September 30, 2019
La Carolina / Crops / Argentina |  | 168 |  |  | 162 |
La Carolina / Cattle / Argentina |  | 27 |  |  | 26 |

Total assets allocated to CGUs tested |  | 175,050 |  |  | 176,438 |

(1) Dispose on December 2020, see Note 22.
Based on the testing above, the Group determined that none of the CGUs, with allocated goodwill, were impaired at September 30, 2020 and 2019.
CGUs tested based on a value-in-use model at September 30, 2020 and 2019:
As of September 30, 2020, the Group identified 2 CGUs (2019: 2 CGUs) in Brazil to be tested based on this model (all CGUs with allocated goodwill). The determination of the value-in-use calculation required the use of significant estimates and assumptions related to management’s cash flow projections. In performing the value-in-use calculation, the Group applied pre-tax rates to discount the future pre-tax cash flows. In each case, these key assumptions have been made by management
F- 70

(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
33. Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)
reflecting past experience and are consistent with relevant external sources of information, such as appropriate market data. In calculating value-in-use, management may be assisted by the work of external advisors.
The key assumptions used by management in the value-in-use calculations which are considered to be most sensitive to the calculation are:

Key Assumptions |  | September 30, 2020 |  | September 30, 2019
Financial projections |  | Covers 4 years for UMA (*) |  | Covers 4 years for UMA (*)
|  | Covers 7 years for AVI (**) |  | Covers 7 years for AVI (**)
Yield average growth rates |  | 0-1% |  | 0-1%
Future pricing increases |  | 1.76% per annum |  | 0.11% per annum
Future cost decrease |  | 0.33% per annum |  | 0.78% per annum
Discount rates |  | 7% |  | 7%
Perpetuity growth rate |  | 1% |  | 1%

(*) UMA stands for Usina Monte Alegre LTDA.
(**) AVI stands for Adecoagro Vale Do Ivinhema S.A.
Discount rates are based on the risk-free rate for U. S. government bonds, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect the increased risk of investing in South America and Brazil in particular. The risk premium adjustment is assessed for factors specific to the respective CGUs and reflects the countries that the CGUs operate in.
The following table shows only the 2 CGUs where goodwill was allocated at each period end and the corresponding amount of goodwill allocated to each one:

CGU/ Operating segment |  | September 30, 2020 |  | September 30, 2019
AVI / Sugar, Ethanol and Energy |  | 2,815 |  |  | 3,813 |
UMA / Sugar, Ethanol and Energy |  | 1,056 |  |  | 1,430 |
Closing net book value of goodwill allocated to CGUs tested (Note 15) |  | 3,871 |  |  | 5,243 |
Closing net book value of PPE items allocated to CGUs tested |  | 494,077 |  |  | 614,702 |
Total assets allocated to 2 CGUs tested |  | 497,948 |  |  | 619,945 |

Based on the testing above, the Group determined that none of the CGUs, with allocated goodwill, were impaired at September 30, 2020 and 2019.
Management views these assumptions are conservative and does not believe that any reasonable change in the assumptions would cause the carrying value of these CGU’s to exceed the recoverable amount.
The Company's goodwill and property, plant and equipment balances allocated to the cash generating units with allocated goodwill in Argentina and Brazil were U$S 147 million and U$S 519 million, respectively at December 31, 2020.
As of December 31, 2020, the Group determined that there is no indicators of impairment.
(b) Biological assets
The nature of the Group’s biological assets and the basis of determination of their fair value are explained under Note 34.11. The discounted cash flow model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions including observable and unobservable data. Generally the estimation of the fair value of biological assets is based on models or inputs that are not observable in the market and the use of such unobservable inputs is significant to the overall valuation of the assets. These
F- 71

Adecoagro S.A.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
33. Critical accounting estimates and judgments (continued)
inputs are determined based on the best information available, for example by reference to historical information of past practices and results, statistical and agronomic information, and other analytical techniques. The discounted cash flow model includes significant assumptions relating to the cash flow projections including future market prices, estimated yields at the point of harvest, estimated production cycle, future costs of harvesting and other costs, and estimated discount rate.
Market prices are generally determined by reference to observable data in the principal market for the agricultural produce. Harvesting costs and other costs are estimated based on historical and statistical data. Yields are estimated based on several factors including the location of the farmland and soil type, environmental conditions, infrastructure and other restrictions and growth at the time of measurement. Yields are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and may be affected by several factors out of the Group’s control including but not limited to extreme or unusual weather conditions, plagues and other crop diseases, among other factors.
The significant assumptions discussed above are highly sensitive. Reasonable shifts in assumptions including but not limited to increases or decreases in prices, costs and discount factors used would result in a significant increase or decrease to the fair value of biological assets. In addition, cash flows are projected over a number of years and based on estimated production. Estimates of production in themselves are dependent on various assumptions, in addition to those described above, including but not limited to several factors such as location, environmental conditions and other restrictions. Changes in these estimates could materially impact on estimated production, and could therefore affect estimates of future cash flows used in the assessment of fair value (see Note 16).
(c) Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining the worldwide provision for income taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the period in which such determination is made.
Deferred tax assets are reviewed each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment (see Note 10).
(d) Fair value for farmlands and investment property
Property, plant and equipment
Farmlands are recognized at fair value based on periodic, but at least annual, valuations prepared by an external independent expert. A revaluation reserve is credited in shareholders’ equity. The valuation is determined using sales Comparison Approach. Sale prices of comparable properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare (Level 3) (see Note 12).
Investment property
Investment property consists of farmland for rental or for capital appreciation and not used in production or for sale in the ordinary course of business, and it is measured at fair value. The changes of the Fair value, which is based on an independent external expert, impacts the profit and loss of the period, in the line item Other operating income, net (see Note 14).

34. Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Financial reporting in a hyperinflation economy
IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy to be adjusted for the effects of changes in a suitable general price index and to be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period. Accordingly, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be computed in the non-monetary items.
In order to conclude on whether an economy is categorized as hyperinflationary under the terms of IAS 29, the Standard details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of a cumulative inflation rate in three years that approximates or exceeds 100 %.
Since 2018, when cumulative inflation rate in three years exceeded the 100% threshold, Argentina´s operations are considered to be under hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposesunder the terms of IAS 29 and since then, it has been applied IAS 29 in the financial reporting of its subsidiaries and associates with Argentine peso as functional currency.
Financial statements of a foreign entity with a functional currency of a country that has a highly inflationary economy, are restated to reflect changes in the general price level or index in that country before translation into U.S. Dollars. In adjusting for hyperinflation, a general price index is applied to all non-monetary items in the financial statements (including equity) and the resulting gain or loss, which is the gain or loss on the entity's net monetary position, is recognized in the income statement. Monetary items in the closing statement of financial position are not adjusted. The Group treated all Argentine subsidiaries as a hyperinflationary economy as all of them have argentine peso as functional currency. The results and financial position of all foreign entities with a functional currency of a country that has a highly inflationary economy are translated at closing rates after the restatement for changes in the general purchasing power argentine peso.
The inflation adjustment on the years 2020, 2019 and 2018 was calculated by means of conversion factor derived from the Argentine price indexes published by the National Institute of Statistics and the year-over-year change in the index was 1.361; 1.538 and 1.476, respectively.
The main procedures for the above-mentioned adjustment are as follows:
•Monetary assets and liabilities which are carried at amounts current at the balance sheet date are not restated because they are already expressed in terms of the monetary unit current at the balance sheet date.
•Non-monetary assets and liabilities which are not carried at amounts current at the balance sheet date, and components of shareholders' equity are adjusted by applying the relevant conversion factors.
•All items in the income statement are restated by applying the relevant conversion factors.
•The effect of inflation on the Company’s net monetary position is included in the income statement, in "Other financial results" (Note 9).
•The ongoing application of the re-translation of comparative amounts to closing exchanges rates under IAS 21 and the hyperinflation adjustments required by IAS 29 will lead to a difference in addition to the difference arising on the application of hyperinflation accounting.

(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
34. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
The comparative figures in these Consolidated Financial Statements presented in a stable currency are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the price level or exchange rates. This resulted in a difference between the closing equity of the previous year and the opening equity of the current year. The Company recognized this initial difference directly in equity.
34.1 Basis of preparation and presentation
The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). All IFRS issued by the IASB, effective at the time of preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements have been applied.
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, biological assets and agricultural produce at the point of harvest and farmlands measured at fair value.
The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the Consolidated Financial Statements are disclosed in Note 34.
Description of accounting policies changed during the year.
Reclassification
During the period ended September 30, 2020, the Company has changed its accounting policy related to the application of IAS 29, Inflation Accounting, that was implemented in 2018. The cumulative initial effect of inflation accounting until December 31, 2017 divided by the exchange rate at that date was recognized directly in equity, in the line “Adjustment of opening balance for the application of IAS 29”, as part of retained earnings. The ongoing effect of hyperinflation adjustment and retranslation of comparative amounts to closing exchange rates after initial recognition was recognized in Other Comprehensive Income, as part of the cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”).
The Company has change its accounting policy for the presentation of the effect of the initial application of IAS 29, and reclassified it to Other Comprehensive Income, as part of the cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”); instead of presenting it within retained earnings. This change in the presentation policy was in order to provide uniformity of disclosure for the same concept and only required a reclassification of the constituent elements of the equity and does not affect total shareholders equity.

In addition, and related to hyperinflation accounting, the Company has changed its accounting policy for the presentation of finance income /expenses. Until June 2020, the Company had elected not to segregate the impact of inflation on financial results. The company has decided to change its presentation policy and segregate the impact of inflation over financial results, considering the segregation of such effects provides reliable and more relevant information. Financial results will be presented reflecting interest and exchange difference, net of its inflation effects. This change represents only a reclassification within Financial results and does not have any impact on total financial results, net or net income.

Early adoption of IFRS 3 Amendment
The IASB has issued narrow-scope amendments to IFRS 3,'Business combinations', to improve the definition of a business.
The amended definition emphasizes that the output of a business is to provide goods and services to customers, whereas the previous definition focused on returns in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits to investors and others.
Entities are required to apply the amendments to transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The Company applied this amendment form the period beginning on 1 January 2019.
Description of accounting policies changed during last year
Leases
For fiscal years beginning on January 1st, 2019 and onward the adoption of IFRS 16 - Leases it is mandatory.
IFRS 16 was adopted following the simplified approach, without restating comparative. The reclassifications and the adjustments arising from the new lease accounting rules are directly recognized in the opening balance sheet on January 1, 2019.
On adoption of IFRS 16, the Company recognized lease liabilities in relation to leases which had previously been classified as ‘operating leases’ under the principles of IAS 17 Leases For the initial recognition, these liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019.
The adoption of IFRS 16 Leases from January 1, 2019, resulted in changes in accounting policies and adjustments to the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

Accounting policies for right of use and lease liabilities are disclosed in Note 34.7 Leases
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2020 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.
34.2 Scope of consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the results of the Company and all of its subsidiaries from the date that control commences to the date that control ceases. They also include the Group’s share of the net income of its jointly-controlled entities on an equity-accounted basis from the point at which joint control commences, to the date that it ceases.
(a) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date that control commences and deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.
The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.
The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(b) Disposal of subsidiaries
When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying

34.2 Scope of consolidation (continued)
amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity is accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss, except for the related revaluation surplus which is reclassified to retained earnings.
34.3 Segment reporting
According to IFRS 8, operating segments are identified based on the ‘management approach’. This approach stipulates external segment reporting based on the Group’s internal organizational and management structure and on internal financial reporting to the chief operating decision maker (the Management Committee in the case of the Company)
34.4 Foreign currency translation
(a) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in US dollars, which is the Group’s presentation currency.
(b) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of income, in the line Item “Finance income” or “Finance cost”, as appropriate.
(c) Group companies
The results and financial position of Group entities (except those that has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy - Argentine subsidiaries) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
•assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position;
•income and expenses for each statement of income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates of the transactions); and
•all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity.
When a foreign operation is sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in the statement of income as part of the gain or loss on sale.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
34.5 Property, plant and equipment
Farmlands are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently under the revaluation model based on periodic, but at least annual, valuations prepared by an external independent expert. A revaluation reserve is credited in shareholders’ equity. All other property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Historical cost comprises the purchase price and any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Under the definition of Property plant and equipment is included the bearer plants, such as sugarcane and coffee trees.
Where individual components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items, which are depreciated separately.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of income when they are incurred.
The depreciation methods and periods used by the group are disclosed in Note 12.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within “Other operating income, net” in the consolidated statement of income.
34.6 Investment property
Investment property consists of farmland for rental or for capital appreciation and not used in production or for sale in the ordinary course of business, and it is measured at fair value net of any impairment losses if any. The changes of the Fair value, which is based on an independent external expert, impacts the profit and loss of the period, in the line item Other operating income, net.
34.7 Leases
Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and corresponding liability at the date of which the leased asset is available for use by the group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
In determining the lease term, the Company considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).
Short term leases are recognized on a straight line basis as an expense in the income statement.
Accounting as lessee
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the commencement date of each lease contract that grants the right to control the use of an identified asset during a period of time. The commencement date is the date in which the lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by the lessee. The Company applied exemptions for leases with a duration lower than 12 months, with a value lower than thirty thousand dollars and/or with clauses related to variable payments. These leases have been considered as short-term leases and, accordingly, no right-of-use asset or lease liability have been recognized.
At initial recognition, the right-of-use asset is measured considering:
F- 78

Adecoagro S.A.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
34.7 Leases (continued)
•The value of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
•Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives; and
•Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and
After initial recognition, the right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and/or impairment losses, and adjusted for any re-measurement of the lease liability.
Depreciation of the right-of-use asset is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated duration of the lease contract.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at such date, including the following concepts:
•Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate as of the commencement date;
•Amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;
•The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and
•Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease;
•Fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable;
After the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability by:
•Increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability;
•Reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made; and
•Re-measuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.
The above mentioned inputs for the valuation of the right of use assets and lease liabilities including the determination of the contracts within the scope of the standard, the contract term ant interest rate used in the discounted cash flow involved a high degree of management´s estimations.
34.8 Goodwill
Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from assets that are not capable of being individually identified and separately recognized by the Group on an acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition is initially measured at cost. being the excess of the consideration over the fair value of the Group’s share of net assets of the acquired subsidiary undertaking at the acquisition date. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. It is allocated to those cash generating units expected to benefit from the acquisition for the purpose of impairment testing. Goodwill ais included within “Intangible assets” on the statement of financial position. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of foreign entities is treated as an asset of the foreign entity denominated in the local currency and translated at the closing rate.
Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if there is an indication of impairment (see Note 34 (a)). Gains and losses on the disposal of a Group entity include any goodwill relating to the entity sold (see Note 35.10).

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
34.9 Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. These intangible assets comprise mainly trademarks and computer software and are amortized in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives estimated to be 10 to 20 years and 3 to 5 years, respectively.
34.10 Impairment of assets
Goodwill
The Company conducts an impairment test annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows, known as cash-generating units. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash generating unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset may in the unit. Impairment losses recognized for goodwill cannot be reversed in a subsequent period. Recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In determining the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted (see Note 34 (a) for details).
Property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangible assets
At each statement of financial position date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets which have finite lives to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, that carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of income.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, not to exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of income.
34.11 Biological assets
Biological assets comprise growing crops (mainly corn, wheat, soybeans, sunflower peanuts and rice), sugarcane, coffee and livestock (growing herd and cattle for dairy production).
The Group distinguishes between consumable and bearer biological assets, and between mature and immature biological assets. “Consumable” biological assets are those assets that may be harvested as agriculture produce or sold as biological assets, for example livestock intended for dairy production. “Bearer” biological assets are those assets capable of producing more than one harvest, for example sugarcane or livestock from which raw milk is produced. “Mature” biological assets are those that have attained harvestable specifications (for consumable biological assets) or are able to sustain regular harvests (for bearer biological assets). “Immature” biological assets are those assets other than mature biological assets.

(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
34.11 Biological assets (continued)
Costs are capitalized as biological assets if, and only if, (a) it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity, and (b) the cost can be measured reliably. The Group capitalizes costs such as: planting, harvesting, weeding, seedlings, irrigation, agrochemicals, fertilizers and a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are directly attributable to the management of biological assets, among others. Costs that are expensed as incurred include administration and other general overhead and unallocated production overhead, among others.
Biological assets, both at initial recognition and at each subsequent reporting date, are measured at fair value less costs to sell, except where fair value cannot be reliably measured. Cost approximates fair value when little biological transformation has taken place since the costs were originally incurred or the impact of biological transformation on price is not expected to be material.
Gains and losses that arise on measuring biological assets at fair value less costs to sell and measuring agricultural produce at the point of harvest at fair value less costs to sell are recognized in the statement of income in the period in which they arise in the line item “Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce”.
Where there is an active market for a biological asset or agricultural produce, quoted market prices in the most relevant market are used as a basis to determine the fair value. Otherwise, when there is no active market or market-determined prices are not available, fair value of biological assets is determined through the use of valuation techniques.
Therefore, the fair value of biological assets is generally derived from the expected discounted cash flows of the related agricultural produce. The fair value of the agricultural produce at the point of harvest is generally derived from market determined prices.
A general description of the determination of fair values based on the Company’s business segments follow:
•Growing crops including rice:
Growing crops, for which biological growth is not significant, are measured at cost, which approximates fair value. Expenditure on growing crops includes land preparation expenses and other direct expenses incurred during the sowing period including labor, seedlings, agrochemicals and fertilizers among others.
Otherwise, biological assets are measured at fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs at initial recognition and at any subsequent period. Point-of-sale costs include all costs that would be necessary to sell the assets
The fair value of growing crops including rice is measured based on a formula, which takes into consideration the estimate of crop yields, estimated market prices and costs, and discount rates. Estimated yields are determined based on several factors including location of farmland, environmental conditions and other restrictions and growth at the time of measurement. Yields are multiplied by sown hectares to determine the estimated tons of crops including rice to be obtained. The tons are then multiplied by a net cash flow determined at the future crop prices less the direct costs to be incurred. This amount is discounted at a discount rate, which reflects current market assessments of the assets involved and the time value of money.
•Growing herd and cattle:
Livestock are measured at fair value less estimated point-of-sale costs, with any changes therein recognized in the statement of income, on initial recognition as well as subsequently at each reporting period. The fair value of livestock is determined based on the actual selling prices less estimated point-of-sale costs in the markets where the Group operates.
•Sugarcane:
Sugarcane planting costs form part of Property plant and equipment. The agricultural produce growing on sugarcane is classified as biological assets and are measured at fair value less cost to sell. The fair value of agricultural produce growing on sugarcane depends on the variety, location and maturity of the plantation.
F- 81

Adecoagro S.A.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
34.11 Biological assets (continued)
Agricultural produce growing in the Sugarcane, for which biological growth is not significant, is valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Expenditure on the agricultural produce growing in the sugarcane consists mainly of labor, agrochemicals and fertilizers among others. When it has attained significant biological growth, it is measured at fair value through a discounted cash flow model. Estimated revenues are based on estimated yearly production volume (which will be destined to sugar, ethanol, energy and raw cane production) and the price is calculated as the average of daily prices for sugar future contracts (Sugar #11 ICE-NY contracts) for a six months period. Projected costs include maintenance and land leasing among others. These estimates are discounted at an appropriate discount rate.
34.12 Inventories
Inventories comprise of raw materials, finished goods (including harvested agricultural produce and manufactured goods) and others.
Harvested agricultural produce (except for rice and milk) are measured at net realizable value until the point of sale because there is an active market in the produce, there is a negligible risk that the produce will not be sold and there is a well-established practice in the industry carrying the inventories at net realizable value. Changes in net realizable value are recognized in the statement of income in the period in which they arise under the line item “Changes in net realizable value of agricultural produce after harvest”.
All other inventories (including rice and milk) are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method.
34.13 Financial assets
Financial assets are classified in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss and at amortized cost, namely loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition (see Note 18).
(a) Recognition and measurement
Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of income. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the “financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” category are presented in the statement of income within “Other operating income, net” in the period in which they arise.
If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models, making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.
The Group assesses at each statement of financial position date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. Impairment testing of trade receivables is described in Note 35.15.

(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
34.13 Financial assets (continued)
(b) Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statement of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. This right must not be contingent on future events and must be enforceable in any case.
34.14 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. Commodity future contract fair values are computed with reference to quoted market prices on future exchanges markets. The fair values of commodity options are calculated using year-end market rates together with common option pricing models. The fair value of interest rate swaps has been calculated using a discounted cash flow analysis.
The Group manages exposures to financial and commodity risks using hedging instruments that provide the appropriate economic outcome. The principal hedging instruments used may include commodity future contracts, put and call options, foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
The Group’s policy is to apply hedge accounting to hedging relationships where it is both permissible under IFRS 9, practical to do so and its application reduces volatility, but transactions that may be effective hedges in economic terms may not always qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9. Any derivatives that the Group holds to hedge these exposures are classified as “held for trading” and are shown in a separate line on the face of the statement of financial position. The method of recognizing gains or losses on derivatives depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. Gains and losses on commodity derivatives are classified within “Other operating income, net”. Gains and losses on interest rate and foreign exchange rate derivatives are classified within ‘Financial results, net’. The Group designates certain derivatives as hedges of the foreign currency risk associated with highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedge).
The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the instruments that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of hedged items.
Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of the gain or loss on the instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of income within "Finance income” or “Finance cost”, as appropriate.
Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion is recognized in the statement of income within "Finance income” or “Finance cost”, as appropriate.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognized when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the statement of income. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the statement of income.

(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
34.15 Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables
Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. In the case of receivables, less allowance for trade receivables.
The group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.
34.16 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. In the statements of cash flows, interest paid is presented within financing cash flows and interest received is presented within investing activities.
34.17 Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use.
34.18 Provisions
Provisions are recognized when (i) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation.
34.19 Onerous contracts
The Group enters into contracts, which require the Group to sell commodities in accordance with the Group's expected sales. These contracts do not qualify as derivatives. These contracts are not recognized until at least one of the parties has performed under the agreement. However, when the contracts are onerous, the Group recognizes the present obligation under the contracts as a provision included within “Provision and other liabilities” in the statement of financial position. Losses under these onerous contracts are recognized within “Other operating income, net” in the statement of income.
34.20 Current and deferred income tax
The Group’s tax benefit or expense for each year comprises the charge for current tax payable and deferred taxation attributable to the Group’s operating subsidiaries. Tax is recognized in the statement of income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in equity.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted at the date of the statement of financial position in the countries where the Group’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) effective in the countries where the Group’s subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income.
F- 84

Adecoagro S.A.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)
34.20 Current and deferred income tax (continued)
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The Group is able to control the timing of dividends from its subsidiaries and hence does not expect to remit overseas earnings in the foreseeable future in a way that would result in a charge to taxable profit. Hence deferred tax is recognized in respect of the retained earnings of overseas subsidiaries only to the extent that, at the date of the statement of financial position, dividends have been accrued as receivable or a binding agreement to distribute past earnings in future has been entered into by the subsidiary.
34.21 Revenue Recognition
The Group’s primary activities comprise agricultural and agro-industrial activities.
The Group’s agricultural activities comprise growing and selling agricultural produce. In accordance with IAS 41 “Agriculture”, cattle are measured at fair value with changes therein recognized in the statement of income as they arise. Agricultural produce is measured at net realizable value with changes therein recognized in the statement of income as they arise. Therefore, sales of agricultural produce and cattle generally do not generate any separate gains or losses in the statement of income.
The Group’s agro-industrial activities comprise the selling of manufactured products (i.e. industrialized rice, milk-related products, ethanol, sugar, energy, among others). These sales are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade and other discounts, and sales taxes, as applicable.
Revenue is recognized when the full control have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods. Transfers of control vary depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale. Revenues are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, having this full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products.
The Group also provides certain agricultural-related services such as grain warehousing/conditioning and other services, e.g. handling and drying services. Revenue from services is recognized as services are provided.
The Group leases owned farmland property to third parties under operating lease agreements. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
The Group is a party to a 15-year power agreement for the sale of electricity which expires in 2042. The delivery period starts in April and ends in November of each year. The Group is also a party to two 15-year power agreements which delivery period starts in March and ends in December of each year, these two agreements will expire in 2024 and 2025, respectively. Prices under all the agreements are adjusted annually for inflation. Revenue related to the sale of electricity under these two agreements is recorded based upon output delivered.

34.22 Farmlands sales
The Group’s strategy is to profit from land appreciation value generated through the transformation of its productive capabilities. Therefore, the Group may seek to realize value from the sale of farmland assets and businesses.
Farmland sales are not recognized until (i) the sale is completed, (ii) the Group has determined that it is probable the buyer will pay, (iii) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, and (iv) the Group has transferred to the buyer the risk of ownership, and does not have a continuing involvement. Gains from “farmland sales” are included in the statement of income under the line item “Other operating income, net”.
34.23 Assets held for sale and discontinued operations
When the Group intends to dispose of, or classify as held for sale, a business component that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale, it classifies such operations as discontinued. The post tax profit or loss of the discontinued operations is shown as a single amount on the face of the statement of income, separate from the other results of the Group. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to sell.
Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a disposal rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when management is committed to the sale (disposal), the sale (disposal) is highly probable and expected to be completed within one year from classification and the asset is available for immediate sale (disposal) in its present condition. The statements of income for the comparative periods are represented to show the discontinued operations separate from the continuing operations.
34.24 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income for the year attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, and when dilutive, adjusted for the effect of all potentially dilutive shares, including share options, on an as-if converted basis.
34.25 Equity-settled share-based payments
The Group issues equity settled share-based payments to certain directors, senior management and employees. Options under the awards were measured at fair value at the date of grant. An expense is recognized to spread the fair value of each award over the vesting period on a straight-line basis, after allowing for an estimate of the awards that will eventually vest. The estimate of the level of vesting is reviewed at least annually, with any impact on the cumulative charge being recognized immediately.
34.26 Research and development
Research phase expenditure is expensed as incurred. Development expenditure is capitalized as an internally generated intangible asset only if it meets strict criteria, relating in particular to technical feasibility and generation of future economic benefits. Research expenses have been immaterial to date. The Group has not capitalized any development expenses to date.

35. Information related to COVID-19 pandemic
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) was reported to have surfaced in China and started spreading to the rest of the world in early 2020. The COVID-19 virus is impacting economic activity worldwide and poses the risk that Adecoagro or its employees, contractors, suppliers, customers and other business partners may be prevented from conducting certain business activities for an indefinite period of time, including due to shutdowns mandated by governmental authorities or otherwise adopted by companies as a preventive measure. Given the uncertainty around the extent and timing of the future spread of COVID-19 and the imposition or relaxation of protective measures, it is not possible to predict the COVID-19’s effects on the industry, generally, and to reasonably estimate the financial effect on the Company.
In Brazil, the government created a crisis committee to monitor the impact of COVID-19 in March 2020. Since then, it has announced several measures (tax and others) to address the effects of COVID-19. In this regard, the Brazilian health authorities, as well as several state and municipal authorities have adopted or recommended social distancing measures.
In Argentina, on March 20, 2020 the Argentine government implemented a social, preventive and mandatory isolation regime, prohibiting the circulation of people on routes, roads and public spaces (the “Mandatory Isolation Regime”) which has already been partially reverted as of the day of this report.
As of the date of this report, the activities pursued by our Argentine subsidiaries, related to agricultural production, distribution and commercialization, were exempted from the Mandatory Isolation Regime for being considered “essential” activities. Also our activities in Brazil have no restrictions
In order to guarantee the hygiene and safety conditions established by the Ministry of Health and to preserve the health of the employees in our subsidiaries, Adecoagro has enacted Prevention and Action Protocols tailored for each facility, in addition to constituting Crisis Committees. Measures taken include but are not limited to: (i) daily temperature check upon arrival to the facility, (ii) mandatory distancing in the workplace, (iii) maximum limit of people in the lunch room and vehicles (iv) sanitary barriers, (iv) special protective attire. Additionally, remote work has been guaranteed for the duration of the Mandatory Isolation Regime for employees based in central offices, and a rotation scheme has been implemented for administrative employees based in the farms or industrial facilities.
Most of our businesses are operating without any major disruption both at the farm and industry level as well as on the road and at the ports. However, the demand of our products, mainly ethanol in Brazil, has been reduced as a consequence of the lockdown decided by the authorities in connection with the pandemic. Nevertheless, we are optimizing our production mix, in order to mitigate such reduction in demand.
The Company is closely monitoring the situation and taking all necessary measures at its disposal to preserve human life and its operation.
