Agroindustrial Laredo

What Agroindustrial Laredo does

Agroindustrial Laredo S.A.A. is a Peruvian agroindustrial company engaged in the cultivation, harvesting, and processing of sugarcane into refined sugar and byproducts. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in the Laredo district of La Libertad, Peru, the company operates as a publicly listed subsidiary of Manuelita Corporativo, a Colombian-origin conglomerate with 160 years of operating history. Agroindustrial Laredo has been operating in Peru for approximately 25 years.

The company produces four product lines: industrial-grade sugar for food and beverage manufacturers, mass consumer sugar for retail distribution, value-added sugar products for specialized applications, and alcohol and other byproducts derived from sugarcane processing. Its core technology stack centers on mechanized green harvesting (Cosecha en Verde), technified irrigation systems, and a circular economy program that transforms sugarcane leaves and residues into organic compost. The company maintains ISO 14001 (environmental management, 2024-2027), ISO 9001 (quality management, 2024-2027), and FSSC 22000 Version 6.0 (food safety, June 2025-June 2028) certifications. It also operates Condominio La Merced SAC, a wholly-owned subsidiary managing the La Merced Urbanización housing project in the Laredo district.

Agroindustrial Laredo distributes its products through direct sales channels to enterprise industrial customers and mass consumer markets within Peru, following a sales-led GTM motion with a horizontal segmentation approach across industrial/B2B, mass consumer, and value-added segments. The company employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people and operates exclusively within Peru, with no disclosed international geographic footprint. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of physical sugar and alcohol products, with no pricing transparency publicly disclosed.
