Core offering

Carlos Casado S.A. develops and transforms 200,000 hectares of land in the Paraguayan Chaco into productive agricultural and livestock operations. The company produces soybeans for export and corn for the regional domestic market using direct sowing with cover crops, and operates an integrated cattle breeding and feed lot fattening business on company-owned land.

Product overview

Carlos Casado S.A. is an Argentine agricultural company with a portfolio of three interconnected core businesses: Land Transformation, Agriculture, and Livestock. The Land Transformation service develops and prepares raw land for productive use through environmental licensing and agronomic studies. Agriculture operates on company-owned fields in the Paraguayan Chaco producing soybean (export) and corn (domestic market) using sustainable direct-sowing practices. Livestock operations utilize the developed lands for cattle breeding and fattening, including feed lot services that leverage the company's grain production. These three business lines are vertically integrated, with land development enabling agricultural production and agricultural outputs supporting livestock fattening operations.

Direct peers

• Cresud S.A. Argentine agricultural company focused on land transformation, crop production, and livestock. Cresud was Carlos Casado's JV partner in the former Cresca S.A. (2008-2017) and shares the same integrated land-crop-livestock business model in South America, making it the closest comparable peer.
• Adecoagro S.A. Argentine-Brazilian-Luxembourg integrated agricultural producer operating in crops, rice, dairy, and sugar. Adecoagro's vertically integrated model across multiple South American geographies, with publicly traded shares, makes it a direct comparable in scale and business mix to Carlos Casado.
• BrasilAgro - Companhia Brasileira de Propriedades Agrícolas: Brazilian agricultural company focused on acquiring, developing, and operating rural properties for crop production (soybean, corn, cotton, sugarcane). BrasilAgro's land transformation and crop production model directly parallels Carlos Casado's core business in South America.
• SLC Agrícola S.A. One of Brazil's largest producers of cotton, soybean, and corn with a focus on large-scale, technology-driven agriculture. SLC Agrícola's operational scale and crop mix overlap with Carlos Casado's agricultural segment, though SLC is geographically Brazil-focused.
• El Tejar Ltd. Large-scale South American crop and livestock producer with operations across Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil. El Tejar's crop production scale and regional overlap with the Paraguayan Chaco make it a meaningful comparable for Carlos Casado's agricultural operations.

Broad incumbents

• Bunge Limited: Global agribusiness and food company with extensive South American origination operations in soybean and corn. As a broad incumbent in the soybean value chain, Bunge competes with Carlos Casado at the commodity trading and processing level, though Carlos Casado is at the production level.
• Cosan S.A. Brazilian agribusiness and energy conglomerate with operations spanning sugarcane, logistics, and fuel distribution. While primarily sugarcane-focused, Cosan's South American agricultural scale and commodity exposure make it a broad sector comparable.
• Cargill, Incorporated: Global agribusiness with major South American soybean, corn, and livestock feed operations. As a major buyer/processor in the same commodity markets, Cargill is a broad incumbent counterpart for Carlos Casado's export channel for soybeans.

Others

• Association of Angus Breeders of Paraguay: Industry body that certified Carlos Casado's Angus breeding program. Listed as an ecosystem participant and certification partner rather than a direct peer — relevant for understanding the company's livestock quality positioning.
• Grupo San José S.A. Spanish construction and infrastructure conglomerate that is the parent company of Carlos Casado S.A. Listed primarily for parent-subsidiary relationship visibility; not an operational agricultural peer but directly relevant as the controlling shareholder.
