Agrocereales del Puerto

What Agrocereales del Puerto does

Agrocereales del Puerto S.A. is a privately held Argentine agricultural commerce company headquartered at Primera Junta 1290 in Tres Arroyos, Buenos Aires province. The company began operating in August 2000 as AGRO GILARDONI under a third-party arrangement with Glencore-Moreno, initially handling fuel sales, agrochemical distribution, and cereal storage; in July 2011 it was formally incorporated as AGROCEREALES DEL PUERTO S.A. to focus exclusively on agricultural commerce. Its core function is to act as an intermediary (acopiador-consignatario) connecting individual agricultural producers in the Tres Arroyos region with downstream buyers including mills, factories, and exporters, either directly or via brokers. The company is small, with 15 employees and a single-country, single-region operating footprint.

The product portfolio spans four core service lines: cereal commercialization and storage (acopio) of wheat, corn, soy, and sunflower at official market rates; agronomy services including the sale of fertilizers and agrochemicals with technical advisory on dosing and crop nutrition; associated plantings (siembras asociadas) under which the company co-produces with clients; and supporting logistics services covering transport coordination, extraction, download quotas, Cartas de Porte documentation, merchandise conditioning, and payment facilitation across multiple channels and terms. There is no proprietary technology platform; the company's only digital infrastructure is a third-party client portal at agp.agrosistemasweb.com.ar alongside a corporate website and basic social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn).

Revenue is generated through transaction fees and spreads on cereal intermediation, margins on fertilizer and agrochemical resale, and economic participation in associated plantings. Pricing on cereals is market-linked and disclosed daily on the company website (soy at U$S 607, corn at U$S 302, wheat at U$S 400, sunflower at U$S 650 per ton at the time of capture), while input and service pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is currently expanding physical capacity through the construction of new warehouses in the new Parque de Servicios Agrícolas in Tres Arroyos.

Core offering

Agrocereales del Puerto operates as an acopiador-consignatario (grain acquirer-consignee) in Argentina's Tres Arroyos region, brokering cereal and oilseed transactions between agricultural producers and end buyers such as mills, factories, and exporters. In parallel, the company sells agricultural inputs (fertilizers and agrochemicals) bundled with in-house technical agronomic advisory, and participates in joint planting arrangements (siembras asociadas) with clients. It also provides logistics coordination, Cartas de Porte documentation assistance, merchandise conditioning, and flexible payment channel facilitation as integral parts of its commercial service.

The company also provides supporting logistics services including load coordination, transport arrangement, transport waybill documentation (Cartas de Porte), merchandise conditioning, and payment facilitation across multiple channels and terms. The product suite functions as an integrated service offering where the company coordinates the full cycle from input supply and planting through grain commercialization, storage, and payment collection.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Direct peers

• Agricultores Federados Argentinos (AFA): Rosario-based Argentine cooperative that commercializes cereals and oilseeds from member producers and distributes agrochemicals and fertilizers — comparable business model of intermediation plus input supply for grain producers.
• Asociación de Cooperativas Argentinas (ACA): Largest Argentine agricultural cooperative network aggregating producer grain, distributing inputs, and providing commercialization services — directly comparable to Agrocereales' acopiador/consignatario and input retail model, though at vastly greater cooperative scale.

Broad incumbents

• Bunge Argentina: Argentine arm of global grain trader Bunge, operating crushing facilities, port terminals, and direct producer offtake — overlaps with Agrocereales on the upstream procurement side, competing for producer tonnage across Buenos Aires province.
• COFCO International Argentina: Argentine grain and oilseed origination of COFCO International (which absorbed Nidera), active across Buenos Aires province — overlaps on commercialization and competes for producer supply chains.
• Vicentin S.A.I.C. Historically one of Argentina's largest integrated crushers, refiners, and grain originators; comparable as a domestic Argentine counterpart buying grain from producers, though currently in a complex restructuring process.
• Aceitera General Deheza (AGD): Major vertically integrated Argentine grain processor, originator, and exporter — competes with regional acopiadores for producer tonnage in Córdoba/Buenos Aires and operates at incomparably larger scale across crushing, oils, and biodiesel.
• Louis Dreyfus Company Argentina (LDC): Argentine subsidiary of Louis Dreyfus Company with grain origination, oilseed processing, and export infrastructure; competes on producer offtake pricing and logistics terms across the Pampas.
• Nidera (now under COFCO): Originally Dutch-founded Argentine grain originator now integrated into COFCO; historically a major buyer of cereals/oilseeds from Argentine producers and a relevant comparable for upstream grain commercialization.
• Cargill Argentina: Argentine operations of Cargill, active in grain origination, crushing, and export logistics — directly competing for producer cereals/oilseeds that Agrocereales would otherwise intermediate.

Others

• Molinos Río de la Plata: Large Argentine flour mill and food processor that purchases wheat and cereals from originators like Agrocereales; included as a downstream counterparty/customer rather than a competitor, illustrating one of the company's named buyer channels (mills).
