(1) Please see Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures starting on page 28 for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted EBIT to Profit/Loss. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation, depreciation, amortization and unrealized changes in fair value of long-term biological assets (sugarcane, coffee and
cattle) plus the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. Adjusted EBIT is defined as consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation, and unrealized changes in fair value of long-term biological
assets (sugarcane, coffee and cattle) plus the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBIT margin are calculated as a percentage of net sales.

2Q14
Important Note on Adjusted EBITDA Definition
Under IFRS accounting, the sale of a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is accounted for as an equity transaction,
with no gain or loss recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Any difference between the selling price and the book value is recognized in Shareholders Equity. This type of transaction had not been contemplated when the Company
originally defined its Adjusted EBITDA in 2010. Management believes that the sale of a controlling or non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, whose main underlying asset is farmland, is a key element in its Land Transformation business since in
either case it allows the company to monetize the capital gains generated by the transformation of undeveloped or underutilized farmland, thereby enhancing return on invested capital. Accordingly, the Company has decided to include the gains or
losses from sales of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries in its Adjusted EBITDA definition (see Adjusted Ebitda definition in page 28).
Financial & Operational Performance
In
our Farming and Land Transformation businesses, Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q14 was $41.8 million, $20.6 million or 96.9% higher than 2Q13. Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA stands at $77.7 million, marking a 94.3% increase over 6M13. These improvements are
explained by increased operational and financial performance in the following segments: (i) in the Crops segment, higher crop yields coupled with lower production costs resulting from operational efficiencies and the devaluation of the
Argentine peso, increased our margins, resulting in a 42.4% growth in Adjusted EBITDA; (ii) in the Rice segment, an increase in planted area together with lower costs driven by the implementation of efficient production technologies and the
devaluation of the Argentine peso expanded Adjusted EBITDA by 232.8%.
Performance was enhanced by the Land
Transformation business which generated $25.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q14, 269.6% higher quarter-over-quarter, through the sale of a 49% stake in Global Anceo S.L.U. and Global Hisingen S.L.U. (please see transaction details in page 3,
Strategy Execution Land Transformation).
In the Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business, our mills crushed
2.1 million tons of sugarcane in 2Q14, 21.1% higher than 2Q13. The increase in cane milling, resulted from (i) the ramp up and consolidation of our cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul, which resulted in higher milling efficiency per hour;
(ii) favorable weather conditions during June which allowed us to accelerate the harvesting pace; and (iii) a 17.6% expansion of our sugarcane plantation. As a result, year-over-year sugar, ethanol and energy production volumes grew by
40.6%, 9.8% and 31.3% respectively. In addition, financial performance was enhanced by (i) a 5.5% increase in sugarcane yields coupled with a 0.9% increase in TRS; (ii) operational synergies and efficiencies which reduced our production
costs; and (iii) a 79.0% increase in energy revenues resulting from higher cogeneration productivity and higher prices; and partially offset by lower sugar and ethanol prices. As a result of the above, Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q14 reached $35.6
million, 37.8% higher than 2Q13, while Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 46.7% from 33.1% in 2Q13.
Net income
in 2Q14 totaled $1.5 million, $25.3 million higher than 2Q13. Net income in the quarter was enhanced by operational and financial improvements in the Farming and Sugar & Ethanol businesses coupled with (i) a $23.6 million increase in
Financial Results primarily explained by the appreciation of the Brazilian Real in 2Q14 compared to a depreciation in 2Q13, and our adoption of Cash Flow Hedge Accounting as of July 1, 2013; and (ii) a $16.3 million increase in long
term biological assets primarily explained by an increase in sugarcane yields; and partially offset by (i) a $5.8 million higher D&A charge resulting from the expansion of our asset base; and (ii) an $11.6 million lower tax benefit.

Strategy Execution
Land Transformation Adecoagro Sells Farmland at 28% Premium to Independent Appraisal
On June 17, 2014, Adecoagro completed the sale of a 49.0% interest in Global Anceo S.L.U. and Global Hisingen S.L.U, two Spanish subsidiaries, for a total price of $50.6 million,
which has been paid in full at closing. The main underlying assets of Global Anceo S.L.U. and Global Hisingen S.L.U are La Guarida and Los Guayacanes, two farms located in the Argentine provinces of Salta and Santiago del Estero, respectively. This
transaction generated $25.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q14, representing a 28.0% premium over the Cushman & Wakefield independent appraisal dated September 2013. Adecoagro will continue controlling and operating both farms.
Guayacanes and La Guarida farms have a total area of 26,299 hectares and were acquired by Adecoagro in 2007, for a total
of $51.1 million. Following the acquisition, Adecoagro transformed and developed over 10,000 hectares of cattle pastures into crop production. The farm is currently composed of 17,371 hectares of croppable land which are used for growing grains and
oilseeds and over 6,000 hectares of cattle grazing pastures. Adecoagro has operated these farms under a sustainable production model focused on no-till farming, crop rotation and other agricultural best practices, which have enhanced productivity
and soil quality. After accounting for the purchase price, transformation capital expenditures, operating cash flows and selling price, these investments generated an internal rate of return of 19.1%.
Ivinhema Phase II Construction Update
The construction of the second phase of the Ivinhema mill, which will add 3.0 million tons of nominal crushing capacity and consolidate our 10.0 million ton cluster in Mato
Grosso do Sul, is progressing ahead of schedule and on budget regarding capital expenditures. We are currently in the process of assembling the second boiler, the ethanol distillery and the power substation, and are closely monitoring the
manufacture and delivery of key equipment parts. We expect phase II to commence crushing activities by the start of the 2015 sugarcane harvest.
Share Repurchase Program
On August, 12, 2014, the
Board of Directors approved the extension of the Companys share repurchase program for an additional twelve month period, and therefore ending on September 23, 2015. Under the buyback program, the Company can continue acquiring shares up
to 5% of the outstanding share capital. As of the date of this report, the Company has repurchased a total of 2.3 million shares for a total consideration of $18.1 million and an average price of $7.72 dollars per share.
Market Overview
After seeing a price support for more than three months, corn and soybean prices have weakened surrounding the expectation of a large surplus being built by a robust new crop. The
combination of recovered planting pace in the US coupled with moderate and timely rains, have provided for a favorable crop development causing prices to decrease even further.
During the second quarter of 2014, the Brazilian Center-South region crushed a total of 202.9 million tons of sugarcane, 11.1% higher than the same period of 2013. The increase in
crushing, driven by drier than normal weather conditions, resulted in a greater availability of sugar and ethanol in the market.

2Q14
Ethanol prices at gas stations reached a 66.0% parity to gasoline, which resulted in a domestic consumption increase of 5.0% year-over-year. Ethanol prices followed their seasonal downward
trend causing hydrous prices to decrease by 7.8% and anhydrous by 7.4%, compared to previous quarter, but remain 7.4% and 5.9% higher than they were a year ago.
In the sugar market, VHP prices increased 5.0% since the first quarter, after concerns were raised that the Brazilian drought has cut Center-South sugarcane yields by an average of 8.0%.
Nevertheless, slower demand and high global inventories following four years of global surplus continue to limit sugar prices. Consulting groups such as Kingsman and Datagro are projecting a sugar deficit of 2.1 million and 2.5 million tons of sugar
for the next season, which would be constructive for prices. This situation would be aggravated in the event of an El Niño weather occurring, as it would reduce sugarcane yields in southeast Asia and cause a reduction in sugar
availability for 2014/15 harvest.
Energy spot prices in the Southeast region of Brazil, were below the prices
during the first quarter but still far above the historical average. While prices were very close to the ceiling price of 822.8 BRL/MWh in April and May, the average price for June was 412 BRL/MWh after rains filled up reservoir levels. Since most
of the hydroprower plants in the southeaset of the country remain at a 36.0% capacity compared to 63.0% last year, the market is expecting prices to remain relatively high throughout the upcoming quarter.

2Q14
Wheat: As of December 31, 2013, 100% of the total planted area was harvested and reported on our 4Q13 release. Average yields for the wheat crop were 2.6 tons per hectare, 45.8% higher
than the previous harvest.
Sunflower: As June 30, 2014, 100% of our sunflower was harvested, yielding an
average of 1.8 tons/ha. Yields decreased by 5.6% with respect to the 2012/13 season as a result of high temperatures and lack of rainfall during December and January 2014, which occurred during the plants critical flowering or growth stage.
Soybean: As of June 30, 2014, the harvest of soybean first crop was completed. Moderate and timely rains from
January through April allowed the crop to develop above expectations producing average yields of 2.9 tons/ha, marking a 31.6% increase to the previous harvest year.
Soybean Second Crop: The harvest of soybean second crop was virtually completed by the end of June 2014. Average yields reached 1.9 tons/ha, 50.0% above the previous harvest year. Yields
were above those of the 2012/13 harvest year due to: (i) a higher proportion of area being planted in the main productive region of Argentina; and (ii) climatic conditions in line with historical averages contrasted to last years drought.
Corn: As of June 30, 2014, the harvested area for early and late corn totaled 29,346 hectares, 64.2% of the
total planted area. Excessive rains between March and June slightly delayed the harvest. The average yields obtained by the end of 2Q14 were 6.0 tons/ha, marking an 8.5% increase compared with the previous harvest year. Seeking to diversify our crop
risk and water requirements, approximately 37.1% early corn was planted in September and 62.9% of late corn was planted during the end of November and December of 2013. Early corn was affected by the lack of rainfall and high temperatures during
December and early January, which occurred during the critical growth or flowering stage. The late corn however, received an adequate amount of rainfall during January 2014, which allowed for normal crop development. As the harvest is completed, we
expect corn yields to remain above the previous harvest year.
Corn Second Crop: As of the end of 2Q14, we
harvested 60.6% of the corn second crop. While the crop suffered from a drought in north Argentina during the 2012/13 harvest year, average and moderate rains during the 2013/14 harvest year allowed the plant to develop normally producing average
yields of 6.3 tons/ha marking an 86.0% growth over the previous harvest year.
Cotton: As of June 30, 2014,
32.8% of the planted hectares had been harvested producing yields of 1.1 tons/ha, marking an 11.4% increase compared to the previous harvest season. As we complete the harvest, we expect final yields to remain in line with the previous harvest year.
Rice: The harvest of 36,604 hectares of rice was completed by the end of the 2Q14. The average yield in our
rice farms was 5.6 tons/ha, slightly below the previous harvest year. Supply of water in dams and rivers was sufficient to flood the rice fields throughout the crops cycle. However, during mid-February through April, higher than normal amount
of cloudy and rainy days had a negative impact on yields at some of our farms given that the plant requires sunlight for photosynthesis and plant growth. We expect yields to improve in the upcoming harvest years as we continue with the
transformation process and zero-leveling of our rice farmsprecise leveling of the land based on GPS and Laser technology, resulting in reduced water irrigation requirements, and lower costs of labor and energy.
2014/15 Harvest Year
Towards the end of 2Q14, Adecoagro began its planting activities for the 2014/15 harvest year. Excess rains in the south of Argentina between March and June lead us to plant more hectares
of wheat in the north of Argentina. Between the end of June and early July, Adecoagro planted 31,204 thousand hectares

of wheat in normal conditions. The hectares planted have received good humidity conditions that will
allow the plant to develop normally.

Contrary to the dry weather experienced in the Brazilian Center-South region, year-to-date rainfall in Mato Grosso do Sul stood at 3.0% above the historical average. As a result of the
favorable weather, the development of our sugarcane plantation was enhanced, resulting in a 5.5% increase in sugarcane yields in 2Q14 compared to the previous year. Despite suffering some harvest disruptions at the beginning of the harvest due to
excess rains, the increase in productivity allowed our mills to crush a total of 2.1 million tons of sugarcane in 2Q14, marking a 21.1% increase over 2Q13. The increase in productivity was slightly enhanced by a 0.9% increase in sugar content
(TRS), resulting in sugar, ethanol and energy production growth of 40.6%, 9.8% and 31.3% respectively.
As of
June 30, 2014, our sugarcane plantation reached 110,822 hectares, representing a 17.6% growth year-over-year. Expanding and replanting our sugarcane plantation continues to be a key strategy to supply our mills at full capacity and increase the
productivity and quality of our plantation. During the quarter we renewed 1,596 hectares and expanded 8,342 hectares. Accordingly a total of 9,938 hectares were planted during 2Q14, driving year-to-date planting to 19,526 hectares, respectively
85.7% and 66.5% higher compared to the same periods of the previous year.

On a cumulative basis, 6M14 Adjusted EBIT reached $74.0 million, marking a 107.9% growth over the same period of the previous year.
In the Farming Business, Adjusted EBIT in 2Q14 increased by 17.8% to $14.3 million and by 68.9% to $48.4 million in 6M14. The increases are attributable to: (i) higher yields generated by
most of our crops as a result of climatic conditions in line with historical averages, contrasted to last years severe drought; (ii) a larger planted area of owned and leased land together with a lower area of second crop; and (iii) lower
production costs driven by enhanced operating efficiency coupled with the devaluation of the Argentine peso. The difference in financial performance year-over-year is primarily explained by the disposal of La Lacteo milk processing
facility in 2Q13, which generated a $2.4 million gain in the Dairy segment.
In the Land Transformation
Business, Adjusted EBIT increased by 269.6% favored by the sale of a 49% stake in Global Anceo S.L.U. and Global Hisingen S.L.U (please see transaction details on page 12 Land Transformation).
(1) Please see Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures starting on page 28 for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA
and Adjusted EBIT to Profit/Loss. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation, depreciation, amortization and unrealized changes in fair value of long-term biological assets (sugarcane, coffee and
cattle) plus the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. Adjusted EBIT is defined as consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation, and unrealized changes in fair value of long-term biological
assets (sugarcane, coffee and cattle) plus the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted EBIT margin are calculated as a percentage of net sales.
(2) Adecoagro uses the Adjusted EBIT performance measure rather than Adjusted EBITDA to compare its different farming
businesses. Different farming businesses or production models may have more or less depreciation or amortization based on the ownership of fixed assets employed in production. Consequently, similar type costs may be expensed or capitalized. For
example, Adecoagros farming business in Argentina is based on a contractor production model, whereby Adecoagro hires planting, harvesting and spraying services from specialized third party machine operators. This model minimizes
the ownership of fixed assets, thus, reducing depreciation and amortization. On the other hand, operating fees are expensed increasing our production costs. The Adjusted EBIT performance measure controls for such differences in business models and
we believe is a more appropriate metric to compare the performance of the company relative to its peers.

Adjusted EBIT for our crops segment stood at $11.1 million during 2Q14; $3.5 million or 45.6% higher than in 2Q13. On a cumulative basis, 6M14 Adjusted EBIT reached $31.7 million,
representing a 45.7% increase over same period of the previous year. The increase is primarily attributable to the fact that during 2012/13 season most of our farms in the Humid Pampas and northern regions of Argentina suffered a significant drought
that affected our soybean first and second crop yields. While results were negatively affected during the 2012/13 season, the 2013/14 season experienced climatic conditions in line with historical averages, which led to a significant increase in
yields and accordingly to a greater production volume on a year-to-year basis. Other reasons which explain the higher year-over-year performance include: (i) a larger planted area; and (ii) lower production costs on account of the devaluation of the
Argentine peso.

On a cumulative basis, crop sales were 4.4% lower than in 6M13, primarily driven by lower physical sales volumes and lower
selling prices. The decrease in sales volumes is primarily explained by a 63.7% increase in grain and oilseed inventories in 6M14 compared to 6M13 as a result of a slower harvest pace versus the previous harvest year driven by abundant rainfalls
during April thru June.

Due to the seasonality and growth cycle of the rice crop, most of the margin generated in the 2013/14 harvest was
recognized throughout the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014. Because only a
9
adecoagro
2Q14
nominal portion of the crop margin was harvested in 2Q14, Adjusted EBIT for the quarter is mainly the result of sales of
processed rice along with its sub products.
Sales for the six month period ended on June 30, 2014, reached
$53.3 million, in line with the same period of the previous year. Adjusted EBIT for 6M14 was $13.6 million, $11.5 million or 560.8% higher than 6M13. The increase in earnings was driven by: (i) a 3.8% increase in planted area; (ii) an increase in
margins per hectare as a result of lower production costs explained by the implementation of zero-level farming technology over 22.0% of our rice farms and the devaluation of the Argentine peso, which reduced our peso denominated costs measured in
dollar terms.

Milk production reached 18.4 million liters in 2Q14 and 37.6 million liters in 6M14, marking a 5.0% and 13.7% respective increase over the same periods of the previous year. Production
growth is the result of an increase in our milking cow herd, coupled with improved cow productivity which increased by 2.2% in 2Q14 and by 6.2% in 6M14. We expect cow productivity to continue increasing gradually to our target of 35 liters per cow
per day as the operation stabilizes and cows adapt to new productive system.
Despite higher production, gross
sales reached $6.9 million in 2Q14 and $13.9 million in 6M14, respectively 12.6% and 2.1% below the same periods of the previous year. The drop in sales is mainly explained by: (i) a 8.9% decrease in milk prices, which fell from $0.42 per liter in
2Q13 to $0.38 per liter; and (ii) the fact that 2.4 million liters of our milk are being processed into whole milk powder via a tolling agreement, postponing sales to the next quarter.
Adjusted EBIT reached $1.5 million in 2Q14 and $2.9 million in 6M14, reflecting a 62.3% and 26.5%, decrease, respectively.
However, profit in 2Q13 had been positively affected by the sale of La Lacteo milk processing facility, which generated $2.4 million. Therefore, adjusted by the sale of La Lacteo, Adjusted EBITDA in 6M14 was actually 34.6%
higher than the previous period.

Adjusted EBIT for our Land Transformation business during 2Q14 totaled $25.6 million compared to $6.9 million in 2Q13.
On June 17, 2014, Adecoagro completed the sale of a 49% interest in Global Anceo S.L.U. and Global
Hisingen S.L.U, two Spanish subsidiaries, for a total price of $50.6 million which has been paid in full at closing. The main underlying assets of Global Anceo S.L.U. and Global Hisingen S.L.U are La Guarida and Los Guayacanes, two farms located in
the Argentine provinces of Salta and Santiago del Estero, respectively. This transaction generated $25.6 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2Q14, representing a 28% premium over the Cushman & Wakefield independent appraisal dated September 2013.
Adecoagro will continue controlling and operating both farms.
Guayacanes and La Guarida farms have a total
area of 26,299 hectares and were acquired by Adecoagro in 2007, for a total of $51.1 million. Following the acquisition, Adecoagro transformed and developed over 10 thousand hectares of cattle pastures into crop production. The farm is
currently composed of 17,371 hectares of croppable land which are used for growing grains and oilseeds and over 6,000 hectares of cattle grazing pastures. Adecoagro has operated these farms under a sustainable production focused on no-till farming,
crop rotation and other agricultural best practices, which have enhanced productivity and soil quality. After accounting for purchase price, transformation capital expenditures, operating cash flows and selling price, these investments generated an
internal rate of return of 19.1%.
Under IFRS accounting, the sale of a non-controlling interest in a
subsidiary is accounted for as an equity transaction, with no gain or loss recognized in the consolidated statement of income. Any difference between the selling price and the book value is recognized in Shareholders Equity. This type of
transaction had not been contemplated when the Company originally defined its Adjusted EBITDA in 2010. Management believes that the sale of a controlling or non-controlling interest in a subsidiary whose main underlying asset is farmland, is a key
element in its Land Transformation business since in either case, it allows the company to monetize the capital gains generated by the transformation of undeveloped or underutilized farmland, thereby enhancing return on invested capital.
Accordingly, the Company has decided to include the gains or losses from sales of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries in its Adjusted EBITDA definition (see Adjusted Ebitda definition in page 28).
During the last nine years, Adecoagro has been able to generate gains of approximately $185 million by strategically
selling at least one of its fully mature farms per year. Monetizing a portion of its land transformation gains each year allows Adecoagro to redeploy its capital efficiently and continue expanding its operations by investing in other farms or assets
across the agribusiness value chain with attractive risk adjusted returns, allowing the Company to continue growing and enhancing shareholder value.

Adecoagros Sugar, Ethanol and Energy mills began the 2014 sugarcane harvest and milling operations
during the beginning of 2Q14, with the exception of Angelica, which began crushing on March 26, in order to maximize ethanol and energy production and capture the attractive prices at the end of the inter-harvest season. Despite a challenging
start to the harvest due to above average rains throughout the Mato Grosso do Sul region, our mills crushed 2.1 million tons of sugarcane in 2Q14, 21.1% higher than 2Q13. Consequently, Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $35.6 million, marking
a 37.8% increase over 2Q13. In addition, production efficiencies in our cluster allowed EBITDA margin to grow from 33.1% in 2Q13 to 46.7% in 2Q14.
Operational and financial performance during the quarter was considerably stronger than in the previous harvest year primarily as a result of (i) a 5.5% increase in sugarcane yields
coupled with a 0.9% increase in sugar content (TRS); (ii) enhanced production efficiencies and operational leverage in our cluster which resulted in a 6.0% dilution of sugarcane production costs; (iii) an 8.5% increase in cogeneration
exports per ton of sugarcane coupled with a 42.3% growth in energy prices; and (iv) a 17.6% expansion of our sugarcane plantation. Financial performance was offset by (i) lower sugar and ethanol prices; and (ii) a 421.5% and 65.7%
increase in sugar and ethanol inventories.
On a cumulative basis, net sales during 6M14 increased by 6.6%
compared to 6M13, on account of (i) more cane crushed; (ii) our ethanol carry strategy during 2013 which resulted in higher inventory volumes for sale in 1Q14; and (iii) our ability to turn-on the boiler early at the Angelica mill to
cogenerate electricity and capture the highly attractive energy prices. While operational and financial performance improved year over year, Adjusted EBITDA in 6M14 decreased by 3.2% to $39.4 million. The decrease was the result of (i) a $
2.4 million unrealized gain in 6M14 resulting from the mark-to-market of our sugar derivative hedge position, contrasted by a $7.8 million unrealized gain in 6M13. Adecoagro expects operational and financial performance to continue improving
during 2014 as the harvest advances throughout the third and fourth quarter of 2014.

1) Net Sales are calculated as Gross Sales net of ICMS, PIS, CONFINS, INSS and IPI taxes.
In 2Q14, total net sales for the business were 1.2% below that of 2Q13, mainly driven by lower sugar and ethanol selling prices measured in dollar terms. Ethanol prices followed their
seasonal downward trend since the beginning of the year, causing hydrous prices to decrease by 7.8% and anhydrous prices by 7.4%. However, compared to 2Q13, ethanol prices have increased by 6.7% in local currency, but decreased 9.6% in US dollar
terms as a result of the appreciation of the Reais. In the case of sugar, VHP prices also remained under pressure, decreasing by 11.9% driven by lower demand and higher global stocks.
The decrease in sugar and ethanol prices was offset by a 42.3% rise in the price of Energy. As discussed in 1Q14, since
early February 2014, energy spot prices have been trading at 822.8 BRL/MWh, which is the maximum rate authorized by the government. The increase in prices was driven by a strong drought during summer, which resulted in extremely low water levels in
hydropower reservoirs, causing high cost fossil fuel reserve power plants to operate at full capacity. In order to capture the high-energy spot prices, the Angelica Mill boiler was started on March 7 to cogenerate electricity by burning the
stockpile of bagasse leftover from the previous harvest. Lack of rainfall throughout April and May allowed energy spot prices to remain at 822.8 BRL/MWh, increasing net sales by 79.0% during 2Q14 and by 112.5% in 6M14. It must be highlighted that
while the month of June saw a significant increase in rainfall throughout the southern region of the country causing water storage levels to increase to 96.3%, and lowering spot prices to 400 BRL/MWh, the water storage in the southeast region (which
represents 70% of the hydropower capacity) remains below 40% capacity. As a result, we expect prices to remain at attractive levels.
Modern and efficient high pressure steam boilers at our three mills coupled with the fact that 8.0% of our energy volumes for the current year remain unhedged and subject to current high
spot prices, is expected to provide Adecoagro with high margins and profitability during the year.

A total of 1.8 million tons of sugarcane were milled at our cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul during 2Q14, 24.8% higher
than the previous year, while Usina Monte Alegre milled 0.4 million tons, 6.2% above 2Q13. Owned sugarcane supply accounted for 92.2% of total cane milled during 2Q14.
In terms of production mix, 55.2% of the sugar content (TRS) was shifted towards ethanol production and 44.8% towards sugar. The mix favored ethanol, given the more attractive margins
compared to sugar during the quarter.
Cogeneration measured by kilowatt hours (KWh) per ton increased 8.5%
year-over-year and 23.0% from 6M13 to 6M14, as our high pressure steam boilers increased efficiency ratios. This has allowed our cogeneration exports to increase 31.3% in the quarter and 46.4% the first half of the year, compared to the same period
of last year, while sugarcane crushing increased 21.1%.

In 2Q14, Changes in Fair Value of Biological Assets (unrealized) was nil compared to a $18.3 million loss in 2Q13. The
year-over-year growth was primarily the result of an increase in the fair value of our sugarcane plantations, from an average of $2,335 per hectare at the beginning of the period to $2,558 per hectare at the end of the period. The increase is
explained by: (i) the expansion our sugarcane plantation; and (ii) higher sugarcane yields.

2Q14
Changes in Fair Value of Agricultural Produce (realized) in 2Q14 was negative $8.8 million compared to
negative $10.9 million in 2Q13. As we increased the size of our plantation, attained economies of scale, and enhanced production efficiencies in our cluster, we managed to obtain operational leverage and dilute costs. As a result, sugarcane
production costs, including crop maintenance, land leasing, and harvest in dollars per ton have decreased 6.0% year over year, generating the 23.8% increase in Changes in Fair Value of Agricultural Produce for the quarter.

The table above shows productive indicators related to our owned sugarcane production (Agricultural Produce)
which is planted, harvested, and then transferred to our mills for processing. Adequate amount of rainfalls in the Mato Grosso do Sul region between January and May 2014, allowed for normal crop development driving sugarcane yields to 79.6 tons per
hectare, marking a 5.5% increase over 2Q13. While higher amounts of rainfall during the period stimulated plant growth and yields, TRS levels were indirectly affected by the sugarcane biological growth process which requires it to consume its sugar
content (TRS) in order to gather the sufficient amount of energy to grow. TRS content in 2Q14 reached 120.8 kg/ton, 0.9% above the previous year. These two effects combined resulted in a 6.5% increase in TRS per hectare, from 9.0 to 9.6 tons per
hectare.

Our net financial results in 2Q14 totaled a loss of $18.7 million, compared to a loss of $42.3 million in 2Q13. The loss
is primarily explained by: (i) interest expense of $13.2 million related to our outstanding debt; (ii) a $4.4 million foreign currency loss resulting from the impact of the devaluation of the Argentine Peso and Brazilian Real between
July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014, on the portion of dollar denominated debt payments made in 2Q14, according to Cash Flow Hedge accounting adopted as of July 1, 2014; and (iii) a $1.2 million tax related to financial transactions
(credit/debit tax).
The main difference in financial results year-over-year are: (i) the fact that the
Brazilian Real appreciated 2.5% during 2Q14, while it depreciated 9.1% during 2Q13; and (ii) the adoption of Cash Flow Hedge accounting as of July 1, 2014. Accordingly, the depreciation of the Real in 2Q13 had a significant impact on
financial results, including (i) a $12.5 million foreign currency loss related to dollar denominated debt in Brazilian subsidiaries; and (ii) a $14.8 million loss resulting from the mark-to-market of currency derivative contracts used to
hedge future dollar inflows generated by our sugar sales.

As
of June 30, 2014, Adecoagros gross indebtedness was $782.3 million, 1.0% lower than the previous quarter.
In the Farming business, debt was reduced by a total of $45.6 million or 32.2% primarily using proceeds generated by the sale of La Guarida and Los Guayacanes farms. As a result,
outstanding debt in the Farming business remains at $95.8 million.
In the Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business,
outstanding debt increased by 5.8%. Long term debt and short term debt increased by $23.5 million and $14.4 million, respectively, primarily to finance the construction of the second phase of the Ivinhema mill which is expected to be fully
operational at the start of the 2015 harvest season.
Cash and equivalents as of June 30, 2014 was $199.3
million, 19.4% lower than as of March 31, 2014.
As a result of the decrease in outstanding debt and the
reduction in cash, net debt during 2Q14 increased by 7.4% compared to 1Q14 reaching a total amount of $583.0 million. On a consolidated basis our debt maturity profile has improved as we shifted a portion of our short term debt into the long term.

According to NASS (National Agricultural Statistics Service), planted area in the United States is
estimated at 91.7 million acres, down 3.7 million acres from the 2013/14 crop. Stock-to-use ratio is estimated at 13.5% versus 9.2% year-over-year.
Brazilian production in the 2013/14 crop is estimated at 78 million tons by Conab and 76 million tons by the USDA. Estimated exports at Brazil stand at 26.5 million tons. Up
to June, 5.3 million tons were exported, 37.0% lower year-over-year. The government approved R$ 500 million in subsidies (PEPRO), which implies between 5.0 and 8.0 million tons depending on region and prices. Argentinas
production estimates range between 25 million tons and 24 million tons, according to Bolsa de Cereales de Buenos Aires and the USDA, respectively. Harvested area is delayed by 30.0% compared to the previous year.
Soybean:
The closing price of soybean nearby futures contract traded on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) averaged 14.70 USD/bu in 2Q14, 0.3% higher than 2Q13, when the closing price averaged 14.67
USD/bu. Prices during 1Q14 averaged 13.55 USD/bu, 8.48% lower than 2Q14. Finally, during 6M14 prices averaged 14.13 USD/bu, 3.2% lower than in 6M13, when the closing price averaged 14.58 USD/bu. Regarding the new crop, the closing price of soybeans

2Q14.
USDAs quarterly stocks and plantings report published on June 30, 2014, surprised the market
with stocks and plantings substantially above market consensus. Regarding the old crop, the stocks number came in at 405 million bushels, well above the average guess for stocks in all positions as of June 1, of 382 million bushels,
and down 6.8% from June 1, 2013. On-farm stocks totaled 109 million bushels, down 36.3% from a year ago. Off-farm stocks, at 296 million bushels, are up 12.5% from a year ago. Consumption and exports during March-May 2014 quarter
totaled 589 million bushels, up 4.4% from the same period a year earlier. As for the new crop, area for beans was surveyed in at 84.8 million acres against the average guess for planted acreage of 82.2 million acres, and that was
versus 81.5 million acres for the March intentions. These were the biggest soybean acreage numbers ever, by more than 7 million acres.
Brazils production is estimated at 86.3 million tons by Conab and 87.5 million tons by USDA. Exports in June were reported at 6.9 million tons for beans (-9.4% MoM and

Crop prospects along Northern Hemisphere are very good. In the US, crop conditions have been improving since May; in Western Europe conditions continue to look near perfect, with the
prospect of record-breaking production levels in the region. According to USDA estimates, production in EU-27 is estimated at 147.8 million tons. In the Former Soviet Union, late-season rains have reduced the proportion of the crop that make
milling grade. However, yields have been better than expected, so in general, supplies from the region should be plentiful.
Weather conditions in South America continue to delay the planting pace and crop evolution in the region. According to Bolsa de Cereales, planted area in Argentina is estimated at
3.9 million hectares, 11.5% higher year-over-year. In Brazil, total production is estimated at 7.4 million tons by Conab, and 6.3 million tons by USDA.
Cotton:
The closing price of cotton nearby
futures contract traded on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) averaged 0.89 USD/lb in 2Q14, 8.5% higher than 2Q13, when the closing price averaged 0.82 USD/lb. Prices during 1Q14 averaged 0.88 USD/lb, 1.1% lower than current quarter. Finally, during
6M14 prices averaged 0.88 USD/lb, 5.7% higher than 6M13, when the closing price averaged 0.84 USD/lb.
According to WASDE (World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates Report), the 2014/15 U.S. cotton forecasts published on
July 11, 2014, has shown strong production and ending stocks growth relative to last month. Expected production was raised 1.5 million bales to 16.5 million bales due to larger planted area as indicated in the NASS June 30, 2013
Acreage Report and lower than expected reduction based on favorable precipitation and improved crop conditions. Domestic mill use was raised 100,000 bales due to expanding domestic mill capacity, while exports were raised 500,000 bales due to the
larger available supply. Despite higher consumption and exports, ending stocks were raised to 5.2 million bales, which, if realized, would be the largest since the 2008/09 crop.
China´s import demand is down nearly 50% for the marketing year up to June at around 12 million bales.
Rice:
The FOB average price for high-quality milled rice in the South American market was $600 per ton during 2Q14, compared to an average of $590 in 2Q13 and $600 in 1Q14.
Thai prices stand at USD 440/ton FOB 5.0% broken. Thai authorities have launched a survey of public stocks. The new
administration has announced that during this evaluation it would place a halt on all exports, except for small volumes and all contracts destined to the Chinese market. The idea behind the project is to start the release of stocks in August in
order to not disrupt pricing. The governments plan is to sell approximately 500,000 tons per month, or 18 million tons over the next three years. Despite the fact that since mid-June, external sales seem to be weaker in relation to the
previous months, sales are maintaining a 50.0% increase over the same period of 2013. Exports have reached over 4.4 million tons in the first six months of the year and, at this pace, will reach the target of 9.0 million tons, marking a
35.0% increase over 2013.
In India, export prices remain stable at values of around USD 435/ton FOB 5.0%
broken, as a result of a supporting internal price policy, and expectations for decrease in total production resulting from the occurrence of an El Niño drought event. Despite opinions of a decrease in yearly production, the
exportable supply is likely to remain high. External sales exceeded 5.0 million tons and Indian authorities announced they would offer an additional 5.0 million tons in the international market this year.

In Vietnam, the export market is quoted at around USD 445/ton FOB 5.0% broken. New contracts recently
signed are expected to the Vietnamese exports in the following months. In the first half of 2014, foreign sales reached 2.8 million tons, 20% lower year-over-year. Once again, Vietnam will benefit from strong Chinese import demand, which
represents 40% of Vietnams total exports, as well as the recovery of African imports. Nevertheless, Vietnams total exports are expected to fall short of the initial target of 7.2 million tons.
In the United States, the indicative price of Long Grain 2/4 rice was at USD 580/ton and prices are expected to fall
further, as the eve of the new harvest approaches, which thus far is expected to be excellent.
Sugar,
Ethanol & Energy:
During the second quarter of 2014, the Brazilian Center-South region reached an
accumulated crushing of 202.9 million tons, 11.1% higher than the same period of 2013. The increase in sugarcane crushed is the result of drier than normal weather, which affected several regions throughout Brazil, especially the state of
São Paulo. Despite accelerating the crushing pace, the drought has damaged sugarcane yields and is expected to reduce total production by 8.0% year-over-year. At the same time, the drought helped to improve TRS content and offset part of the
losses generated by lower agricultural yields. From the start of the current season through end-June, TRS reached 124.47 kg of TRS/ ton of sugarcane, 1.19% higher than same period last year.
According to the ESALQ index, quarter-over-quarter, hydrous and anhydrous prices fell by 7.4% and 7.8% respectively, on
account of the increase in crushing pace which resulted in a greater availability of ethanol for the market. Nevertheless, compared to same period of last year, hydrous prices improved by 7.4%, while anhydrous increased by 5.9%. The Brazilian
Government is studying the possibility of increasing the anhydrous ethanol blend rate in gasoline, from the current 25.0% mandate to 27.5%. The study is being carried out by a research center controlled by Petrobras and is expected to be concluded
by October 2014. If it is approved, the blend increase would generate an incremental demand of around 1.0 million cubic meters. During the quarter, average sugar prices increased 5.0% compared to 1Q14 and traded in line with same period of
the previous year. Nevertheless, slower demand and high global inventories continue to limit sugar prices. Following four years of global sugar surplus, consulting groups such as Kingsman and Datagro are already projecting a deficit in world
estimates of 2.1 million tons and 2.5 million tons, respectively, for the next harvest, which would be constructive for sugar prices in 2015.
The energy spot price in the Southeast region of Brazil during 2Q14 was below the 1Q14 but still higher than the historical average. In April and May, prices were very close to the ceiling
price, reaching 822.8 BRL/MWh (which is the maximum authorized by the government) and 806.9 BRL/MWh respectively. In June, however, the average price was 412 BRL/MWh after rains filled up the levels in some of the reservoirs. For the following
months we expect prices to remain above 500 BRL/MWh given that the level of the reservoirs in Southeast of the country, which represent 70% of the hydroelectric energy for Brazil, remain at 36.0% of capacity as of 2Q14, compared with the 63.0% last
year.
In the rest of the world, the monsoons in India are below the historical average, which raises concern
over the negative impact on agricultural yields and sugarcane availability for 2014/15 harvest. While Thailand had a record crop last season, with an increase in sugar production of 12% year-over-year, production for the next crop is expected to
decrease slightly due to weather conditions. While UNICA cane production estimates remain at 570 million tons and 32.8 million tons for sugar, final production will depend greatly on
26
Adecoagro 2Q14
upcoming weather conditions. The
probability of an El Niño weather event occurring around September will especially play a major role in sugar prices as it would cause global yield losses and a reduction in sugarcane availability for 2014/15 harvest.

Segment Information - Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures (Adjusted EBITDA & Adjusted EBIT) to Profit/(Loss)
We define Adjusted EBITDA for each of our operating segments as the segments share of consolidated profit from
operations before financing and taxation for the year or period, as applicable, before depreciation and amortization and unrealized changes in fair value of long-term biological assets and adjusted by profit or loss from discontinued operations and
by gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland which are reflected in our Shareholders Equity under the line item Reserve from the sale of minority interests in
subsidiaries.
We define Adjusted EBIT for each of our operating segments as the segments share of
consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation for the year or period, as applicable, before unrealized changes in fair value of long-term biological assets and adjusted by profit from discontinued operations and by gains or
losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland which are reflected in our Shareholders Equity under Reserve from the sale of minority interests in subsidiaries.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT are for the Company and each operating segment, respectively important
measures of operating performance because they allow investors and others to evaluate and compare our consolidated operating results and to evaluate and compare the operating performance of our segments, respectively, including our return on capital
and operating efficiencies, from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (interest expense from our outstanding debt), asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax consequences (income taxes), unrealized changes in fair
value of long term biological assets, foreign exchange gains or losses and other financial expenses. In addition, by including the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries whose main underlying asset is farmland,
investors can evaluate the full value and returns generated by our land transformation activities. Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT differently, and therefore Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT are not a measures of financial performance under IFRS, and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to consolidated net profit (loss), cash flows
from operating activities, profit from operations before financing and taxation and other measures determined in accordance with IFRS.
