1Q17 Adjusted EBITDA of $44.8 million, 3.6% higher year-over-year Luxembourg, May 15, 2017 Adecoagro S.A. (NYSE: AGRO, Bloomberg:
AGRO US, Reuters: AGRO.K), one of the leading agricultural companies in South America, announced today its results for the first
quarter ended March 31, 2017. The financial information contained in this press release is based on the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements presented in US dollars and prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
except for Non IFRS measures. Please refer to page 22 for a definition and reconciliation to IFRS of the Non IFRS measures used

EBITDA(3) of $44.8 million in 1Q17, representing a 3.6% increase compared to 1Q16. Gross sales in 1Q17 reached $166.1 million,
36.7% higher year-over-year Net income in 1Q17 stands at $6.0 million, $3.2 million higher than 1Q16. (1) Net Sales are equal to
Gross Sales minus sales taxes related to sugar, ethanol and energy. (2) Please see “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures”
starting on page 22 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, and amortization 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 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. (3) Adjusted EBITDA margin excluding third party commercialization activities
is defined as the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA net of the Adjusted EBITDA generated by the commercialization of third party sugar,
grains and energy, divided by consolidated net sales net of those generated by the commercialization of third party sugar, grains
and energy. We net 3rd party commercialization results to highlight the margin generated by our own production. Third party commercialization
Financial & Operational Performance Highlights Sugar, Ethanol
& Energy Adjusted EBITDA in our Sugar, Ethanol & Energy business in 1Q17 reached $30.3 million, $8.2 million higher than
1Q16. Results were mainly driven by (i) higher sugar, ethanol and energy sales volumes (5.4%, 13.0% and 89.3%, respectively); (ii)
higher realized prices (57.9%, 18.5% and 27.0% higher, respectively); and (iii) a $14.2 million gain derived from the mark-to-market
effect of our sugar hedge position. These positive effects were partially offset by (iv) an increase in unitary production costs
mainly explained by an increase in third party sugarcane purchases and the appreciation of the BRL; and (v) a $2.7 million loss
from changes in fair value of our sugarcane plantation, mainly resulting from lower projected sugar prices and BRL appreciation.
Rains in our cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul during November 2016 through March 2017 were 25% below the 10-year average. Therefore,
we decided to fine-tune our harvest schedule in order to maximize sugarcane productivity throughout the year. As a result, we decided
to slowdown the pace of crushing during the first quarter, and only crush: (i) our own sugarcane that has grown to 16-18 months
in age; and (ii) sugarcane purchased from third-parties. This strategy will allow our traditional 12-month sugarcane to grow an
additional 2 or 3 months, and benefit from normalized rains during March and April. At the same time, any down time was used to
conduct “off-season” maintenance of industrial equipment, agricultural machinery and sugarcane replanting. Despite
our decision to decelerate the milling pace, we were able to crush a total of 1.5 million tons during 1Q17, essentially in line
with last year. Despite dry weather during the summer months, sugarcane yields during the quarter reached 94.1 tons/ha, significantly
above the 5-year average yield for Brazil’s center-south region. This is explained by our focus on enhancing sugarcane quality
and treatment. Yields fell 8.0% compared to our yields in 1Q16 as a result of above average rainfalls during November 2015 through
February 2016. In terms of sugar content, TRS during the quarter increased to 110.0 kg/ton, 2.6% higher than 1Q16. Farming &
Land Transformation Adjusted EBITDA in our Farming business in 1Q17 was $19.7 million, 25% lower than 1Q16. This decrease is primarily
temporal in nature due to different planting/harvesting cycles, which can vary due to crop rotations, seed varieties and weather.
Therefore we expect stronger performance in the Crops and Rice businesses in the upcoming quarters as these seasonality issues
are reversed. In the case of soybean and corn, excess rains during January and February have delayed the seeding of the crops.
The crops are developing normally and yield potential has not been affected, but margin recognition has been skewed towards the
second and third quarters. Regarding the rice crop, despite a 16.5% increase in yields, margins were negatively affected by (i)
higher harvesting expenses due to setbacks caused by rains; and (ii) a 21.1% decrease in white rice sales due to schedule of shipments,
partially offset by a 14.6% increase in white rice prices. Consequently, as we ramp up sales volumes during the upcoming quarters
we expect to offset the reduction in margins reported in the current quarter. In terms of foreign exchange, our costs of production
in Argentina have been negatively affected in dollar terms as a result of the appreciation of the Argentine peso in real terms.
2
These negative effects were partially offset by (i) a $1.9 million
increase in our Dairy business driven by solid productivity and rising milk prices; and (ii) a $1.6 million gain derived from the
mark-to-market effect of our soybeans and corn hedge derivatives. Consolidated Net Income Net Income in 1Q17 was $6.0 million,
$3.2 million higher than in 1Q16. Net income during the quarter was enhanced by stronger Adjusted EBITDA and improved financial
results, and was partially offset by a $4.1 million increase in depreciation expenses resulting mainly from the expansion of our
sugarcane plantation and the appreciation of the Brazilian Real. Strategy Execution Sugar, Ethanol & Energy Expansion Update
The expansion of our cluster in Mato Grosso do Sul, as announced in our 4Q16 Earnings Release, is currently underway and being
executed according to schedule. The expansion of the Angelica mill is already complete. We have installed larger mill rollers and
expanded the sugar centrifugation and ethanol filtration processes. Nominal crushing capacity has increased by 0.9 million, from
4.7 million tons per year to 5.6 million tons per year. Regarding the Ivinhema mill, we have already begun building the foundations
for the new mill tandem (#6). Regarding the expansion of our sugarcane plantation to supply the new milling capacity, we have already
leased the necessary land scheduled to be planted in 2017 at prices according to budget. Planting activities are being executed
as planned. We have succesfully planted 7.0 thousand hectares or 28% of the targeted area for 2017. In addition, depreciated agricultural
machinery has already been renewed according to plan, which we expect will increase our harvest capacity by 10% year-over-year.
Accretive Growth Projects in our Farming Business In light of the improved regulatory framework and outlook for the agribusiness
sector in Argentina, we have identified several growth opportunities across our farming operations. These investments will allow
us to increase operational efficiency, reduce costs and enhance returns across our dairy, rice and crops segments. These projects
are expected to generate ROIC well in excess of our cost of capital. o Dairy business: our free-stall dairies #1 and #2 are fully
ramped-up and delivering superior productivity. We are now ready to continue consolidating the operation and increase capacity.
We plan to invest $50.0 million over the next four years to build free-stalls #3 and #4. This project will allow us to double production
capacity, reaching over 185 million liters of fluid milk production per year and over 14 thousand milking cows. This investment
is a unique opportunity to leverage on Argentina’s competitive advantages in transforming vegetable protein into milk protein,
our operational expertise and the positive outlook for global and local milk prices. o Rice business: during the second half of
the year we will be investing $6.0 million in various equipment and machines to improve our rice processing and distribuition,
and increase the value of main by-products. These projects include: (i) a rice parboiling plant; (ii) a new packaging 3
machine for branded white rice; (iii) expansion of finished
goods storage capacity; (iv) a rice husk bailing press; and (v) a rice bran oil de-activation system. This will allow us to strengthen
our brand in the local market and increase margins. o Crops business: following the recent boost in Argentina’s grain production
volumes, specifically corn and wheat, certain regions are affected from lack of grain storage and conditioning capacity. This is
generating bottlenecks and increasing logistics costs. In order to continue managing our production capacity efficiently, we will
build two new storage and conditioning facilities located near the Rosario and Bahia Blanca ports. These assets will allow us to
reduce our conditioning and logistics costs and enhance our commercial flexibility. Total investment is expected to reach $11.0
million over the next 12-months. Market Overview Sugar prices continued to rally during January and early February, driven by news
of a smaller sugarcane crop in India which would result in strong sugar imports. However, lack of fundamental news, specially the
absence of imports announcements from the Indian government, resulted in financial speculators reducing their net long position
significantly, pressuring prices strongly. Average sugar prices during 1Q17 were 6% lower than average prices in 4Q16, but 36%
higher than prices in 1Q16. Going forward, we expect uncertainties regarding weather and consequently production volumes in key
countries should provide high price volatility Ethanol prices fell during 1Q17, reaching their lowest levels since August 2016,
driven by lower demand and higher import volumes throughout the quarter. As reported by UNICA, anhydrous and hydrous sales volumes
were 1.4% and 21.0% lower year-over-year, respectively. Consequently, average prices in the quarter were 12% below 1Q16 and 11%
below 4Q16. The market is expecting another reduction in ethanol production for the current harvest (2017/18) and an increase in
overall fuel consumption, which could impact prices positively. Energy spot prices during January and February ranged between 121
and 128 BRL/MWh, on average 5.0% lower year-over-year. However, as a result of below average rains in the south of Brazil and an
increase in power consumption, prices began to rise during March. The average price per megawatt hour in March was 216 BRL, and
grew to 370 BRL in April. Water reservoir levels are currently at 39.4% compared to 57.1% at the same time last year. Grain prices
continue to feel the pressure of four straight years of global bumper crops. Corn prices increased 2.4% during 1Q17, while soybean
prices fell 4.2%. Corn prices were negatively affected during early March after USDA reported US corn stocks slightly above market
expectations. Prices found support towards the end of the month after USDA reported a 4.3% year-over-year reduction in US planted
acreage. In the case of soybean, prices found bearish pressure during March as USDA reported a 7.3% year-over-year increase in
US planted acreage for 2017/18 and higher than expected stocks. In the case of South America, excellent weather conditions during
crop development are expected to result in record crops. As of April 2017, USDA estimated combined production for Argentina and
Brazil of 167 million tons of soybean and and 132 million tons of corn, respectively 8.9% and 37.5% higher year-over-year. 4

2017. Yields for 2015/16 reflect the full harvest season. Note: Some planted areas may reflect minor adjustments compared to previous
reports due to a more accurate area measurement, which occurred during the current period. As of January 31, 2017, Adecoagro’s
planting activities for the 2016/17 harvest year were completed. Our total planted area reached 224,708 hectares, 6.7% higher compared
to the previous harvest year. Adecoagro’s owned croppable area, which is the area that provides the highest EBITDA contribution,
has increased by 1.0%. Leased area, which is an opportunistic business driven by return on invested capital, has increased by 11.5%
compared to the 2015/16 harvest year. Double crop area, (mostly wheat followed by a soy 2nd crop) increased by 19.2%, as a result
of the improvement in wheat margins. As of the end of April 2017, harvest operations for most of our crops were well underway,
with 43.3% of total area already harvested. Soybean: As of the end of April 2017, we harvested 13.3% of the soybean crop. In the
Humid Pampas region, crop development evolved above average as a result of abundant moisture and good temperatures during the season.
The crop is now being harvested and achieving yields above the historical average. Soybean 2nd crop: The harvest of second crop
soybean started during mid-April 2017 and is advancing well. We expect strong productivity, above the historical average. 5
Corn: As of the end of April 2017, the harvested area for early
corn totaled 6,644 hectares or 14.8% of the total planted area. Due to abundant rains during the beginning of the year, corn seeding
was delayed. Therefore, the harvest is currently less advanced than the previous year. Despite the delayed planting, the crop has
received abundant rains and has developed normally. We expect good productivity. Wheat: The harvest of wheat was completed during
the beginning of the year with 38,007 hectares harvested. Average yield for the wheat crop was 3.0 tons per hectare, 32.8% higher
than the previous harvest year. Planting for the 2017/18 harvest year will begin in May 2017 favored by abundant rainfalls from
January to April 2017, which have replenished soil moisture levels. Sunflower: The harvest of the sunflower crop began in late
December 2016. As of the end of April 2017, 98.4% of sunflower had been harvested yielding an average of 1.8 tons per hectare,
3.0% higher compared with the 2015/16 season. Rice: As of the end of March 2016, the rice harvest was almost complete, reaching
99.2% of total planted area. Harvested yields reached 5.9 tons per hectare, 16.5% above the previous harvest year. Supply of water
in dams and rivers was sufficient to flood the rice fields throughout the crop's cycle. We expect yields to improve in the upcoming
harvest years as we continue with the transformation process and zero-leveling of our rice farms precise leveling of the land based
on GPS and Laser technology, which we expect will result in reduced water irrigation requirements and lower costs of labor and
energy. Farming & Land Transformation Financial Performance Farming & Land transformation business - Financial highlights

million in 1Q17, $6.9 million lower compared to 1Q16. This 27.6% decrease is primarily attributed to the crops and rice businesses,
and is mostly temporal in nature due to seasonality and planting/harvesting cycles. Therefore we expect stronger performance in
the upcoming quarters. (1) Please see “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures” starting on page 22 for a reconciliation
of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBIT to Profi t/Loss. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as consolidated profit from operations before
financing and taxation, depreciation and amortization plus the gains or losses from disposals of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries
. Adjusted EBIT is defined as consol idated profit from operations before financing and taxation 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
business. We note that diff erent farming businesses or production models may have more or less depreciation or amortization based
on the ownership of fixed as sets employed in production. Consequently similar types of costs may be expensed or capitalized. For
example, Adecoagro’s far ming business in Argentina is based on a “contractor” production model, wherein Adecoagro
hires planting, harvesting and spraying s ervices from specialized third party machine operators. This model minimizes the ownership
of fixed assets, thus, reducing depreciation and amortization. However, under this model operating fees are expensed increasing
produc tion 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. 6
In the case of the Crops business, performance in the quarter
was negatively affected by the delay in soybean and corn planting due to excess rains at the beginning of the year. Although yield
potential is not at risk, the delay pushes margin recognition towards the second and third quarters. In addition, the real appreciation
of the Argentine peso has increased our costs of production in dollar terms and decreased our margins. Regarding the Rice business,
despite an 16.5% increase in yields for 1Q17 compared to 1Q16, farm margins were $2.5 million lower than the previous year as a
result of higher productions costs explained by (i) an increase in harvesting expenses due to rains; and (ii) the appreciation
of the Argentine peso. In addition, white rice sales volumes were 21.1% lower than last year due to the schedule of shipments,
but prices were 14.6% higher and are expected to continue increasing. Therefore, as we ramp up sales during the rest of the year,
we expect financial performance to improve. The Dairy business reported solid performance during 1Q17, driven by high productivity
and rising prices. Adjusted EBITDA was $2.0 million, $1.9 million higher year-over-year. Crops Segment Crops - Highlights metric

EBIT in our Crops segment reached $12.2 million in 1Q17, marking a 26.8% decrease compared to the same period of last year. The
decrease is primarily the result of two main factors. First, we recognized a decrease of $4.1 million in margin recognition as
a result of a delay in the seeding of corn and soybean second crop due to excess humidity. Despite the fact that the percentage
of hectares with significant biological growth did not vary significantly from 1Q16 to 1Q17, the crops growing in the fields as
of March 31, 2017, are in an earlier growth stage compared to a year ago. Although crop yield potential is essentially the same,
less margin was recognized in changes in fair value. Second, we recorded a $0.4 million increase in selling and administrative
expenses as a result of the appreciation of the Argentine peso in real terms. These effects were partially offset by a $2.9 million
gain derived from the mark-to-market effect of our commodity hedge position. 7

million. As of 1Q16, we had harvested 23,538 hectares generating Changes in Fair Value of Agricultural Produce of $3.3 million.
As described above, this is mainly explained by the delay in crop seeding in this harvest year due to abundant rains. Nonetheless,
the crops are currently in very good conditions and we expect above average productivity. As a result of these two effects, Total
Changes in Fair Value in 1Q17 reached $11.9 million, compared to $16.0 million in 1Q16. Crops - Gross Sales Breakdown Amount ($'000)

our Rice segment during 1Q17 is primarily explained by the harvest of the 2016/17 rice crop and to a lesser extent by the sales
of processed rice and by-products. In our farm operations we successfully harvested 39,392 hectares of rice with an average yield
of 5.9 tons/ha, 16.5% higher compared to the 2015/16 harvest. The rice harvest resulted in Changes in Fair Value of Agricultural
Produce of $6.0 million compared to $8.5 million last season. The decrease in rice margins is primarily explained by higher production
costs in dollar terms as a result of (i) an increase in harvesting expenses due to abundant rains, and (ii) the appreciation of
the Argentine peso in real terms; and partially offset by (iii) a reduction in water pumping costs due to a replacement of diesel
engines with electric pumps. In terms of sales of processed rice, we sold 57.3 thousand tons of white rice in 1Q17, compared to
72.2 thousand tons in 1Q16. Overall, gross sales reached $19.3 million, 6.3% lower than 1Q16, primarily as a result of a 21.1%
decrease in selling volumes partially offset by a 14.6% increase in selling prices, measured in USD. We expect white rice prices
to remain more competitive than in 2016 as a result of a favorable global supply and demand outlook. As we ramp up sales volumes
during the upcoming quarters, we expect to make up for the lower financial performance reported in 1Q17. 9

cattle and whey sales Milk production reached 21.6 million liters in 1Q17, slightly above 1Q16. This increase is attributable
to a 0.4% increase in our dairy cow herd driven by enhanced reproduction efficiencies at our two free-stall dairy facilities,
and enhanced by a 1.5% increase in cow productivity. Average productivity grew from 35.0 liters per cow per day in 1Q16 to
35.5 liters in 1Q17. Gross Sales in 1Q17 reached $10.8 million, 109.2% higher year-over-year. The growth in sales is
explained by a 28.2% increase in sales volumes and a 74.4% increase in milk prices. Milk prices rallied to 0.36 USD/liter
driven by: (i) a significant decrease in Argentina’s milk supply in 2017 as a result of excess rains during January and
February which negatively affected cow comfort and access to feed; and (ii) rising international powder milk prices. As a
result, Adjusted EBIT in the quarter was $2.0 million, marking a 1,545.2% increase year-over-year. All Other Segments All

There were no farm sales during 1Q17 and 1Q16. Land transformation is an ongoing process in our farms, which consists of
transforming undervalued and undermanaged land into its highest production capabilities. Adecoagro is currently engaged in
the transformation of several farms, especially in the northeastern region of Argentina, where farms formerly used for cattle
grazing are being successfully transformed into high yielding crop and rice farms. The company is continuously seeking to
recycle its capital by disposing of a portion of its developed farms. This allows the company to monetize the capital gains
generated by land transformation activities and allocate its capital to other farms or projects with higher risk-adjusted
returns, thereby enhancing return on invested capital. 11

25% below the 10-year average. Therefore, we decided to fine-tune our harvest schedule in order to maximize sugarcane productivity
throughout the year. As a result, we decided to slowdown the pace of crushing during the first quarter, and only crush: (i) our
own sugarcane that has grown between 16-18 months (“cana de dois veroes”); and (ii) sugarcane purchased from third
parties. This strategy will allow our traditional 12-month sugarcane to grow an additional 2 or 3 months, and benefit from normalized
rains during March and April. At the same time, any down time was used to anticipate “off-season” maintenance of industrial
equipment, agricultural machinery and most importantly sugarcane replanting. Despite our decision to decelerate the milling pace,
we were able to crush a total of 1.5 million tons during 1Q17, essentially in line year-over-year. In terms of third-party sugarcane,
we were able to find attractive opportunities to purchase sugarcane from neighboring mills and farmers at very competitive prices.
Purchases of third-party sugarcane reached 221.9 thousand tons, 306.5% higher year-over-year. In spite of dry weather during summer
months, sugarcane yields during the quarter reached 94.1 tons/ha, significantly above the 5-year average yield for Brazil’s
center-south region. This is explained by our focus on 12
enhancing sugarcane quality and treatment. Yields fell 8.0%
compared to our yields in 1Q16 as a result of above average rainfalls during November 2015 through February 2016. In terms of sugar
content, TRS during the quarter increased to 110.0 kg/ton, 2.6% higher than 1Q16. Product mix during 1Q17 was slanted 62% towards
ethanol and 38% sugar. This is mainly explained by the quality of sugarcane during summer, which is more suitable for producing
ethanol. In addition, we obtain important tax benefits for our ethanol sales. We produced 59,684 tons of sugar and 61,081 m3 of
ethanol. Our cogeneration efficiency ratio was 71.9K KWh per ton, an all-time record and 59.0% higher year-over-year. This was
primarily achieved by burning a stockpile of bagasse that was carried over from last year as we expected energy prices to increase
as a result of the low level of rains recorded during the last quarter of 2016. As of March 31, 2017, the size of our sugarcane
plantation was 136,384 hectares, representing a 4.4% growth year-over-year. Sugarcane planting continues to be a key strategy to
supply our mills with quality raw material at low cost. During 1Q17 we planted a total of 5,513 hectares of sugarcane. Of this
total area, 1,793 hectares correspond to expansion areas. These hectares are related to the expansion of our cluster, which we
announced in 4Q16. The balance corresponds to areas planted to renew old plantations with newer and high-yielding sugarcane, thus
allowing us to maintain the productivity of our plantation. Financial Performance Sugar, Ethanol & Energy - Highlights $thousands

above 1Q16. The increase in net sales was driven by the combination of (i) higher average realized selling prices for sugar, ethanol
and energy, which increased 57.9%, 18.5%; and 27.0% year-over-year, respectively; and (ii) higher sugar, ethanol and energy sales
volumes. The growth in revenues was partially offset by (i) higher production costs; and (ii) a $2.7 million loss from Changes
in Fair Value of Agricultural Produce for our sugarcane plantation; resulting in a 4.7% increase in our Margin on Manufacturing
and Agricultural Activities. Adjusted EBITDA during 1Q17 reached $30.3 million, $8.2 million or 37.0% higher than 1Q16. In addition
to all the positive and negative drivers described above, Adjusted EBITDA was boosted by a $14.2 million gain from the mark-to-market
effect of our sugar derivative hedge position. As of March 31, 2017, we had 368 thousand tons of sugar hedged at an average price
of 19.3 US cents/lb. In 1Q17, we engaged in the commercialization of 27,863 tons of sugar from third parties as well as 22,672
MWh of energy. Although these transactions contribute positively to our overall profitability, EBITDA margins 13
for these transactions are considerably lower than the margins
from core production. Adjusted EBITDA margin net of third party commercialization reached 33.2%, 418 bps above reported margin.

ICMS, PIS, CONFINS, INSS and IPI taxes. Sugar sales volumes grew 5.4% year-over-year, reaching 106,169 tons. This increase was
achieved despite (i) lower sugarcane crushing and sugar production mix; and (ii) lower third party sales. Our average realized
sugar price during the quarter was $442 per ton, marking a 57.9% increase compared to 1Q16, which resulted in a 66.4% increase
in net sales. Ethanol sales volumes increased 13.0% in 1Q17 compared to 1Q16. Average selling prices in USD in 1Q17 were 18.5%
higher than 1Q16, resulting in an 33.9% increase in net sales. In the case of energy, sales volumes grew 89.3% year-over-year mainly
as a result of our strategy to stockpile bagasse in December 2016 and burn it in 1Q17 as we expected higher energy prices. Average
energy prices during 1Q17 reached 45 USD/MWh, 27.0% higher year-over-year, resulting in a 140.4% increase in net sales. As a result
of below average rains in the south of Brazil during the first months of the year, spot energy prices have been rallying, reaching
over 350 BRL/MWh in April. We expect prices to remain strong throughout the year. Sugar, Ethanol & Energy - Total Production

1Q17 reached 30 USD/ton, marking a 53.9% increase compared to 1Q16. This is mainly explained by: (i) the appreciation of the Brazilian
Real, which has increased costs in dollar terms; (ii) a 377.9% increase in third-party sugarcane purchases, driven by our strategy
to postpone the harvest of our own cane and maximize milling of cane from suppliers coupled with higher sugarcane prices (CONSECANA
index); (iii) an increase in industrial costs 14
mainly driven by the increase in CONSECANA prices; and (iv)
the impact of inflation cost adjustments, mainly related to labor. We expect unitary production costs to decrease as the pace of
the harvest accelerates and utilization rates reach full capacity. Sugar, Ethanol & Energy - Changes in Fair Value $thousands

of our sugarcane plantation. Changes in Fair Value of harvested sugarcane or “agricultural produce” reached $7.4 million
in 1Q17, $3.5 million higher than the previous quarter. The increase is explained primarily by the increase in both sugar and ethanol
prices, which increase the price of sugarcane according to the CONSECANA price formula. Harvested sugarcane is transferred from
our farms to the mill at the CONSECANA price index. This was partially offset by the increase in agricultural production costs
per ton of sugarcane harvested as explained in the table above. Changes in fair value of unharvested sugarcane (cane growing on
the fields and expected to be harvested over the next 12-months) in 1Q17 was a loss of $10.1 million. This is primarily explained
by: (i) lower projected sugar prices for the next 12-months; and (ii) the appreciation of the Brazilian Real, which results in
lower sugar and sugarcane prices in local currency. These variables were partially offset by (iii) higher expected yields due to
lower crop risk as we reach harvest time; and (iv) slightly lower projected production costs. Total Changes in Fair Value of Biological

million, 53.5% or $4.0 million higher year-over-year explained by: (a) the appreciation of the Brazilian Real and the
Argentine Peso during the quarter; and (b) a slight increase in the cost of our debt compared to 1Q16. (ii) Foreign exchange
losses (composed of “Cash Flow Hedge – Transfer from Equity”(1) and “Fx Gain/Loss” line items)
that reflect the impact of foreign exchange variations on our dollar denominated assets and liabilities. Foreign
exchange losses stood at $3.0 million in 1Q17 compared to a $14.8 million loss in 1Q16. The improvement in foreign exchange
results is explained by the appreciation of the Argentinian Peso and the Brazilian Real throughout the quarter, compared to a

Commodity Hedging Adecoagro’s financial performance is
affected by the volatile price environment inherent to agricultural commodities. The company uses forward contracts and derivative
instruments to mitigate swings in commodity prices by locking-in margins and stabilizing profits and cash flow. The table below

March 31, 2017, outstanding debt related to our Farming business was $152.8 million, increasing 49.7% or $50.8 million quarter-over-quarter.
From a seasonality point of view, the first quarter has the highest working capital requirements, since all of our crops are planted
and most costs incurred, but only a small amount of the crops are harvested and sold. As we continue harvesting throughout the
second and third quarter we expect to reduce working capital invested and debt. On a year-over-year basis, debt increased by 30.6%
or $35.9 million. In the Sugar and Ethanol business, debt as of March 31, 2017 increased by 20.6% or $109.7 million quarter-over-quarter.
This increase is related to working capital seasonality, since during the first quarter we usually incur a large proportion of
crop treatment expenses and maintenance capex related to sugarcane replanting and reparations of industrial equipment and machinery.
Cash and equivalents as of March 31, 2017, stood at $231.3 million, 45.9% higher than 4Q16. Year-over-year cash and cash equivalents
increased by 3.4%. The charts depicted below show our debt profile on a consolidated basis. As of March 31, 2017, 71.1% of our
debt was long term and 28.9% short term. Our debt currency breakdown stands 24.8% in Brazilian Reals, 74.6% in US dollars and 0.6%

95.7% higher compared to 1Q16. The Sugar, Ethanol and Energy business accounted for 94% or $54.8 million of total capex. Expansion
capex reached $9.6 million, mainly related to new sugarcane hectares planted to supply our growing industrial capacity. Maintenance
capex increased by 121.6%, reaching $45.3 million, primarily explained by our decision to slowdown sugarcane milling during the
quarter, and at the same time accelerate the annual maintenance program both at the agricultural and industrial level. In the case
of sugarcane replanting, we renewed 5,513 hectares during 1Q17, 20% higher compared to the same period of last year. Farming and
Land transformation expenditures accounted for 6% or $2.5 million of total capex in 1Q17. The principal investment corresponds
to the dairy business, where we are currently building a bio-digester to co-generate electricity from cow manure. We believe this
project will enhance the sustainability of our free-stall dairy operation, increase our returns through the sales of excess power
to the grid and at the same time reduce operational risks related to energy supply. 19

Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures To supplement our consolidated
financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS, we use the following non-IFRS financial measures
in this press release: Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBIT Adjusted EBITDA margin Net Debt Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA In this section, we provide an explanation and a reconciliation of each of our non-IFRS financial measures
to their most directly comparable IFRS measures. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered
in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with IFRS. We use
non-IFRS measures to internally evaluate and analyze financial results. We believe these non-IFRS financial measures provide investors
with useful supplemental information about the financial performance of our business, enable comparison of financial results between
periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and enable comparison of our financial results with other
public companies, many of which present similar non-IFRS financial measures. There are limitations associated with the use of non-IFRS
financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, many of the adjustments to our IFRS financial measures reflect the exclusion
of items, such as depreciation and amortization, changes in fair value and the related income tax effects of the aforementioned
exclusions, that are recurring and will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures
may be different from non-IFRS financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. Adjusted
EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT & Adjusted EBITDA margin We define Adjusted EBITDA for each of our operating segments as the segment’s
share of consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation for the year or period, as applicable, before depreciation
and amortization 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 segment’s share of consolidated profit from operations before financing and taxation for the year or period,
as applicable, 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), 22
asset base (depreciation and amortization), tax consequences
(income taxes), 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 measure 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. We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA to net
sales. We consider that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA margin provides useful information on how successfully we operate our
Company and enhances the ability of investors to compare profitability between segments, periods and with other public companies.
Reconciliation of both Adjusted EBITDA and Adusted EBIT starts on page 24. Net Debt & Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA Net debt
is defined as the sum of long- and short-term debt less cash and cash equivalents. This measure is widely used by management and
investment analysts and we believe it shows the financial strength of the Company Management is consistently tracking our leverage
position and our ability to repay and service our debt obligations over time. We have therefore set a leverage ratio target that
is measured by net debt divided by Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that this metric provides useful information to investors because
management uses it to manage our debt-equity ratio in order to promote access to debt financing instruments in the capital markets
and our ability to meet scheduled debt service obligations. Reconciliation - Net Debt $thousands 1Q17 1Q16 Net Debt 564,509 476,827
