SLC Agrícola (SLCE3) investor relations material

Business overview and strategy

• Operates large-scale farms in eight Brazilian states, producing cotton, soybean, corn, seeds, and cattle, with a hybrid model of owned and leased land targeting diverse markets including trading, food, and textile industries.

• Evolved through three strategic phases: initial land ownership and transformation, accelerated growth post-IPO with leasing and joint ventures, and a current focus on asset-light, technology-driven, and ESG-led operations.

• 63% of the 2025/26 planted area is leased or under joint ventures, reflecting a shift to an asset-light model for capital efficiency.

• Strategic land portfolio redistribution increases exposure to mature, stable Midwest regions, enhancing yield potential and operational resilience.

• Growth in higher value-added crops, especially cotton and soybean seeds, with innovative cotton processing systems and strong expansion in certified seed sales.

Operational performance
