AUGUST 19, 2011 PRESS RELEASE
Adecoagro S.A. (NYSE: AGRO, Bloomberg: AGRO US, Reuters. AGRO.K), one of the leading
agricultural companies in South America, announced today that in line with its growth strategy, it
has acquired 100% of the common shares of Compañía Agroforestal de Servicios y Mandatos S.A., a
company which owns a 4,960 hectare farm named El Colorado, located in the region of Bandera, in
the province of Santiago del Estero, Argentina, for a total price of US$18.0 million. The
transaction is subject to anti-trust approval.
El Colorado is an attractive opportunity for Adecoagro to continue generating value through
the transformation of farmland and expanding its production of agricultural commodities.
Based on initial estimates, El Colorado has approximately 2,411 hectares currently used for
planting crops (including soybean, corn, wheat and sunflower) and an additional 1,820 hectares used
for cattle grazing activities with potential for crop production. Adecoagro plans to transform the
hectares currently used for cattle grazing and put them into crop production during the 2011/12
harvest season. As a result, Adecoagro expects this acquisition to expand its planted area during the 2011/12 harvest year by approximately 3,000 hectares.
