Puerto San Martin Cereales

What Puerto San Martin Cereales does

Puerto San Martín Cereales S.A. is an Argentine grain conditioning and storage operator founded in 2000 and operating since 2001, headquartered at Av. Juan D. Perón 2700 in Puerto General San Martín, Santa Fe. The company runs two adjacent plants — Planta Puerto San Martín (18,400 tons of silo storage, two 200 tons/hour dryers, one 60 tons/hour specialty dryer, and a 270 tons/hour screener) and the Agripuerto S.A. facility (9,100 tons of silo storage plus a 30,000-ton wheat cell and a 100 tons/hour MG SA dryer). Combined throughput capacity reaches 600 tons/hour with automated PLC control, simultaneous truck loading/unloading (15 trucks/hour automated loading, 20 trucks/hour receiving), and energy self-sufficiency via an on-site Caterpillar generator. INTI-certified scales (Certificate of Autoverification No. 0191 under Decree 829/94) enable official export/import weight certification.

The business serves agricultural producers across Argentina who deliver grains (soybean, corn, sorghum, wheat, rapeseed, barley, safflower, flint corn, sunflower) in their natural state for conditioning to meet export 'Condiciones Cámara.' Core services are paritaria (reception/classification), drying per percentage point, screening (zaranda), blending (mezcla), and fumigation, charged per quintal (100 kg) — $620 for major grains and $850 for specialty grains — with storage billed at US$ 0.20 per day per quintal after a 15-day free period. Customers also include trucking companies, supported by a 150-truck internal yard with sanitary facilities and cafeteria. Strategic positioning within 1–2 km of Cargill, Bunge, Toepfer, and Nidera export terminals makes the company an 'Antepuerto' in Argentina's main grain export corridor.

The company is privately held by shareholders linked to the grain trade, agricultural production, and finance sectors, with no disclosed venture capital or private equity involvement. Marketing is minimal, relying on operational reputation and a basic Facebook presence, and the firm displays real-time ROFEX, MATBA, and CBOT market data to clients via a password-protected portal. Revenue, funding history, and management team details are not publicly disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Molinos Río de la Plata: Large Argentine grain processor and exporter with port operations 12 km from PSM. While primarily a flour/oil processor, it shares the Antepuerto/port-corridor conditioning ecosystem.
• Bunge Argentina: Global grain trader's Argentine arm with a major port facility 1 km from PSM. Operates its own conditioning and export terminal — overlapping capability and a key adjacent buyer of PSM-conditioned grain.
• COFCO International Argentina: Global grain trader with growing Argentine port assets. Competes for origination/conditioning volumes in the same Rosario corridor.
• Vicentin S.A.I.C. Vertically integrated Argentine agribusiness with port-side processing (Vicentín Fábrica listed 12 km from PSM). Overlaps with PSM in grain origination/conditioning but operates a much broader crushing and export portfolio.
• Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC Timbúes): Global grain trader's Timbúes complex (15 km from PSM). Operates parallel conditioning, storage, and export infrastructure competing for the same upstream Argentine grain flow.
• Cargill Argentina: Global grain trader's Argentine arm with port operations at Quebracho (1 km from PSM). Direct infrastructure peer and customer in the same conditioning corridor.

Direct peers

• Renova S.A. Major grain/oilseed crushing and export terminal at Timbúes (18 km from PSM). Performs large-volume conditioning, storage, and shipment — direct downstream buyer and adjacent infrastructure peer in the same corridor.
• Terminal 6 S.A. Bulk grain terminal located 2 km from PSM Cereales in the same Puerto General San Martín corridor. Operates port-side grain reception, storage, and shipping — directly competing for the same Antepuerto and export conditioning workflow.
• ACA (Asociación de Cooperativas Argentinas): Argentine cooperative network with grain conditioning, storage, and port facilities (ACA San Lorenzo, listed 8 km from PSM on the company's own distance table). Competes for the same producer-driven conditioning and origination volumes.

Regional players

• Servicios Portuarios (Unidad 6): Argentine port services operator at Unidad 6 (35 km from PSM). Provides complementary port-side handling in the broader Rosario-San Nicolás corridor, comparable in service category but geographically distinct.
