This Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K (this “Form 6-K”) is being filed by Adecoagro S.A. (“Adecoagro” or the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and is incorporated by reference into the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-3 filed with the SEC on December 6, 2013 (File No. 333-191325) and will be deemed to be a part thereof from the date on which this Form 6-K is filed with the SEC, to the extent not superseded by documents or reports subsequently filed or furnished. The Company is filing this report on Form 6-K for the purpose of filing a copy of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 (the “Consolidated Financial Statements”) as Exhibit 99.1. The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. Dollars and prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Forward-Looking Statements
 
The attachment contains forward-looking statements. The registrant desires to qualify for the “safe-harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and consequently is hereby filing cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause the registrant’s actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the attachment.

The registrant’s forward-looking statements are based on the registrant’s current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about the registrant and its industry. These forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “is/are likely to,” “may,” “plan,” “should,” “would,” or other similar expressions.

The forward-looking statements included in the attached relate to, among others: (i) the registrant’s business prospects and future results of operations; (ii) weather and other natural phenomena; (iii) developments in, or changes to, the laws, regulations and governmental policies governing the registrant’s business, including limitations on ownership of farmland by foreign entities in certain jurisdictions in which the registrant operate, environmental laws and regulations; (iv) the implementation of the registrant’s business strategy; (v) the registrant’s plans relating to acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances or divestitures; (vi) the implementation of the registrant’s financing strategy and capital expenditure plan; (vii) the maintenance of the registrant’s relationships with customers; (viii) the competitive nature of the industries in which the registrant operates; (ix) the cost and availability of financing; (x) future demand for the commodities the registrant produces; (xi) international prices for commodities; (xii) the condition of the registrant’s land holdings; (xiii) the development of the logistics and infrastructure for transportation of the registrant’s products in the countries where it operates; (xiv) the performance of the South American and world economies; and (xv) the relative value of the Brazilian Real, the Argentine Peso, and the Uruguayan Peso compared to other currencies; as well as other risks included in the registrant’s other filings and submissions with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

These forward-looking statements involve various risks and uncertainties. Although the registrant believes that its expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, its expectations may turn out to be incorrect. The registrant’s actual results could be materially different from its expectations. In light of the risks and uncertainties described above, the estimates and forward-looking statements discussed in the attached might not occur, and the registrant’s future results and its performance may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements due to, inclusive, but not limited to, the factors mentioned above. Because of these uncertainties, you should not make any investment decision based on these estimates and forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements made in the attached relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in the attached. The registrant undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Adecoagro is a holding company primarily engaged through its operating subsidiaries in agricultural and agro-industrial activities. The Company and its operating subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the "Group". These activities are carried out through three major lines of business, namely, Farming; Sugar, Ethanol and Energy and Land Transformation. Farming is further comprised of three reportable segments, which are described in detail in Note 3 to these condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been approved for issue by the Board of Directors on November 13, 2018 .

2.    Financial risk management

Risk management principles and processes

The Group is exposed to several risks arising from financial instruments including price risk, exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. A thorough explanation of the Group´s risks and the Group´s approach to the identification, assessment and mitigation of risks is included in Note 2 to the annual financial statements. There have been no changes to the Group´s exposure and risk management principles and processes since December 31, 2017 and refers readers to the annual financial statements for information.

However, the Group considers that the following tables below provide useful information to understand the Group´s interim results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 . These disclosures do not appear in any particular order of potential materiality or probability of occurrence.

Exchange rate risk

The following tables show the Group’s net monetary position broken down by various currencies for each functional currency in which the Group operates at September 30, 2018 . All amounts are shown in US dollars.

The Group’s analysis shown on the tables below is carried out based on the exposure of each functional currency subsidiary against the US dollar. The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 10% appreciation of the US dollar against the respective functional currencies for the period ended September 30, 2018 would have increased the Group’s Loss before income tax for the period. A 10% depreciation of the US dollar against the functional currencies would have an equal and opposite effect on the income statement. A portion of this effect would be recognized as other comprehensive income since a portion of the Company’s borrowings

Hedge Accounting - Cash flow hedge

Effective July 1, 2013, the Group formally documented and designated cash flow hedging relationships to hedge the foreign exchange rate risk of a portion of its highly probable future sales in US dollars using a portion of its borrowings denominated in US dollars, currency forwards and foreign currency floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps.

The Group expects that the cash flows will occur and affect profit or loss between 2018 and 2024.

For the period ended September 30, 2018 , a loss before income tax of US$ 41,247 was recognized in other comprehensive income and a loss of US$ 7,327 was reclassified from equity to profit or loss within “Financial results, net”.

§
Other derivative financial instruments

As of September 30, 2018 , the Group has floating-to-fixed interest rate swap, foreign currency fixed-to-floating interest rate swap and foreign currency floating-to fixed interest rate swap agreements, which were also outstanding as of December 31, 2017 .

During the period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 the Group entered into several currency forward contracts with Brazilian banks in order to hedge the fluctuation of the Brazilian Reais against US Dollar for a total notional amount of US$ 19.5 million and US$ 0 million, respectively. Those contracts entered in 2018 had maturity dates between August 2018 and September 2019. The outstanding contracts resulted in the recognition of a loss of US$ 1.7 million in the period ended September 30, 2018 .

During the period ended on September 30, 2018 and 2017 , the Group entered into several currency forward contracts in order to hedge the fluctuation of the US Dollar against Euro for a total notional amount of US$ 7.5 million and US$ 10.6 million, respectively. The currency forward contracts maturity date are between August and December 2018, and September 2017, respectively. The outstanding contracts resulted in the recognition of a gain and loss of US$ 0.1 million and US$ 0.4 million, respectively.

Gain and losses on currency forward contracts are included within “Financial results, net” in the statement of income.

3.    Segment information

IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” requires an entity to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments, which are operating segments or aggregations of operating segments that meet specified criteria. Operating segments are components of an entity about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The CODM evaluates the business based on the differences in the nature of its operations, products and services. The amount reported for each segment item is the measure reported to the CODM for these purposes.

The Group operates in three major lines of business, namely, Farming; Sugar, Ethanol and Energy; and Land Transformation.

The Group’s ‘Farming’ line of business is further comprised of three reportable segments:

§
The Group’s ‘Crops’ Segment consists of planting, harvesting and sale of grains, oilseeds and fibers (including wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton and sunflowers, among others), and to a lesser extent the provision of grain warehousing/conditioning, handling and drying services to third parties, and the purchase and sale of crops produced by third parties crops. Each underlying crop in the Crops segment does not represent a separate operating segment. Management seeks to maximize the use of the land through the cultivation of one or more type of crops. Types and surface amount of crops cultivated may vary from harvest year to harvest year depending on several factors, some of them out of the Group´s control. Management is focused on the long-term performance of the productive land, and to that extent, the performance is assessed considering the aggregated combination, if any, of crops planted in the land. A single manager is responsible for the management of operating activity of all crops rather than for each individual crop.

§
The Group’s ‘Rice’ Segment consists of planting, harvesting, processing and marketing of rice;

§
The Group’s ‘Dairy’ Segment consists of the production and sale of raw milk;

§
The Group’s ‘All Other Segments’ column consists of the aggregation of the remaining non-reportable operating segments, which do not meet the quantitative thresholds for disclosure and for which the Group's management does not consider them to be significance Coffee and Cattle.

The Group’s ‘Sugar, Ethanol and Energy’ Segment consists of cultivating sugarcane which is processed in owned sugar mills, transformed into ethanol, sugar and electricity and marketed;

Adecoagro S.A.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(All amounts in US$ thousands, except shares and per share data and as otherwise indicated)

3.    Segment information (continued)


The Group’s ‘Land Transformation’ Segment comprises the (i) identification and acquisition of underdeveloped and undermanaged farmland businesses; and (ii) realization of value through the strategic disposition of assets (generating profits).

Total segment assets and liabilities are measured in a manner consistent with that of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. These assets and liabilities are allocated based on the operations of the segment and the physical location of the asset. The Group’s investment in the joint venture CHS S.A. is allocated to the ‘Crops’ segment.


The measurement principles for the Group’s segment reporting structure are based on the IFRS principles adopted in the interim financial statements until June 30, 2018. From July 1, 2018, since the adoption of IAS 29, the measurement principles for the Group’s segment reporting structure are based on the IFRS principles adopted in these interim financial statements, with the exceptions disclose below.

IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy be adjusted for the effects of changes in the general price index and be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period (“inflation accounting”). In order to determine whether an economy is classified as hyperinflationary, IAS 29 sets forth a series of factors to be considered, including whether the amount of cumulative inflation nears or exceeds a threshold of 100 %. Accordingly, Argentina has been classified as a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29 from July 1, 2018. (Please see Note 27 - Basis of preparation and presentations).

IAS 29 requires, to adjust all non-monetary items in the statement of financial position by applying a general price index from the day they were booked to the end of the reporting period. At the same time, it also requires that all items in the statement of income are expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, consequently, each reporting period on a monthly basis results of operation measured in Argentine Pesos is adjusted for inflation by the applicable monthly inflation rate each month. All amounts need to be restated by applying the change in the general price index from the dates when the items of income and expenses were initially recorded in the financial statements. As a result, each monthly results of operation is readjusted each successive month to reflect changes in the monthly inflation rate.

After the restatement explained above, IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, in paragraph 42, addresses the way results must be translated under inflation accounting, stating that “…all amounts shall be translated at the closing rate at the date of the most recent statement of financial position…” Accordingly, monthly results of operations in Argentine Pesos, after adjustment for inflation pursuant to IAS 29, as described above, must then be converted into U.S dollars at the closing exchange rate for such monthly reported period. This conversion changes every prior reported monthly statement of income in U.S dollars as each monthly amount is readjusted under IAS 29 for inflation per above and reconverted at different exchange rates for each monthly reported period under IAS 21. As a result the impact of monthly inflationary adjustments and monthly conversion adjustments vary the results of operation month to month until year end.

In order to evaluate the economic performance of businesses on a monthly basis, results of operations are based on monthly data that have been adjusted for inflation and converted into the average exchange rate of the US dollar each month. These already converted figures are subsequently not readjusted and reconverted as described above under IAS 29 and IAS 21. It should be noted that this translation methodology for evaluating segment information is the same that the company uses to translate results of operation from its other subsidiaries from other countriesthat have not been designated hyperinflationary economies because it allows for a more accurate analysis of the economic performance of its business as a whole.

IFRS 8 requires that segment information be reported on the basis of the internal reports that are regularly reviewed by the entity's by the CODM to evaluate the Company’s operating results. The Company’s CODM does not evaluate monthly results of operation according to the presentation obtained from the application of IAS 29 and IAS 21 as described above because it is considered more useful and accurate that monthly results remain unchanged once translated.

Therefore, the measurement of reported figures in the Segment presentation differ from the measurement of those reported in the statement of income in the manner described above.

11.    Property, plant and equipment (continued)


Since September 2018 the Company changes the accounting policy for its Farmlands (See Note 27 - Basis of presentation - Changes in accounting policies), adopting the valuation at Fair Value. For all Farmlands with a total valuation of US$ 777 million as of September 30, 2018, the valuation was determined using sales Comparison Approach prepared by an independent expert. Sale prices of comparable properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare. (Level 3). The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 1% reduction on the Sales price for the period ended September 30, 2018 would have reduced the value of the Farmlands on US$ 7.7 million, which would impact, net of its tax effect on the "Revaluation surplus" item in the statement of Changes in Shareholders' Equity.

Depreciation charges are included in “Cost of production of Biological Assets”, “Cost of production of manufactures products”, “General and administrative expenses”, “Selling expenses” and capitalized in “Property, plant and equipment” for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 .

As of September 30, 2018 , borrowing costs of US$ 11,239 ( September 30, 2017 : US$ 551) were capitalized as components of the cost of acquisition or construction of qualifying assets.

Certain of the Group’s assets have been pledged as collateral to secure the Group’s borrowings and other payables. The net book value of the pledged assets amounts to US$ 499,899 as of September 30, 2018 .

As of September 30, 2018 included within property, plant and equipment balances are US$ 499 related to the net book value of assets under finance leases.

Since September 2018 the Company changes the accounting policy for all Investment properties. (See Note 27 - Basis of presentation - Changes in accounting policies), adopting the valuation at Fair Value. For all Investment properties with a total valuation of US$ 40.7 million as of September 30, 2018, the valuation was determined using Sales Comparison Approach prepared by an independent expert. Sale prices of comparable properties are adjusted considering the specific aspects of each property, the most relevant premise being the price per hectare. (Level 3). The increase /decrease in the Fair value is recognized in the Statement of income under the line item "Other operating income, net". There were no changes of the valuation techniques during September 30, 2018 and 2017. The Group estimated that, other factors being constant, a 1% reduction on the Sales price for the period ended September 30, 2018 would have reduced the value of the Investment properties on US$ 0.4 million, which would impact the line item "Net gain from fair value adjustment ".

The following amounts have been recognized in the statement of income in the line “Sales of manufactured products and services rendered”, and "Other operating income, net", respectively.

15.    Financial instruments

As of September 30, 2018 , the financial instruments recognized at fair value on the statement of financial position comprise derivative financial instruments.

In the case of Level 1, valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical financial assets that the Group can refer to at the date of the statement of financial position. A market is deemed active if transactions take place with sufficient frequency and in sufficient quantity for price information to be available on an ongoing basis. Since a quoted price in an active market is the most reliable indicator of fair value, this should always be used if available. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise crop futures and options traded on the stock market. In the case of securities, the Group allocates them to this level when either a stock market price is available or prices are provided by a price quotation on the basis of actual market transactions.

Derivatives not traded on the stock market allocated to Level 2 are valued using models based on observable market data. For this, the Group uses inputs directly or indirectly observable in the market, other than quoted prices. If the financial instrument concerned has a fixed contract period, the inputs used for valuation must be observable for the whole of this period. The financial instruments the Group has allocated to this level mainly comprise interest-rate swaps and foreign-currency interest-rate swaps.

In the case of Level 3, the Group uses valuation techniques not based on inputs observable in the market. This is only permissible insofar as no observable market data are available. The inputs used reflect the Group’s assumptions regarding the factors, which market players would consider in their pricing. The Group uses the best available information for this, including internal company data. The Group does not have financial instruments allocated to this level for any of the periods presented.

There were no transfer between any levels during the period.

The creation and release of allowance for trade receivables have been included in ‘Selling expenses’ in the statement of income. Amounts charged to the allowance account are generally written off, when there is no expectation of recovering additional cash.

The other classes within other receivables do not contain impaired assets.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of receivable mentioned above.

Share Repurchase Program

On September 12, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a share repurchase program for up to 5% of its outstanding shares. The repurchase program has been renewed by the Board of Directors after each 12-month period. On August 14, 2018, the Board of Directors approved the renewal of the Program and extension of the term for an additional twelve-month period ending on September 23, 2019.

Repurchases of shares under the program may be made from time to time (i) in open market transactions in compliance with the trading conditions of Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable rules and regulations; and (ii) through privately negotiated transactions. The share repurchase program does not require Adecoagro to acquire any specific number or amount of shares and may be modified, suspended, reinstated or terminated at any time in the Company’s discretion and without prior notice. The size and the timing of repurchases will depend upon market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors.

As of September 30, 2018 , the Company repurchased an aggregate of 8,421,549 shares under the program, of which 2,598,423 have been utilized to cover the exercise of the Company’s employee stock option plan and restricted stock units plan. During the period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 the Company repurchased shares for an amount of US$ 15,725 and US$ 11,342, respectively. The outstanding treasury shares as of September 30, 2018 totaled 5,826,116.


20.        Equity-settled share-based payments

The Group has set a “2004 Incentive Option Plan” and a “2007/2008 Equity Incentive Plan” (collectively referred to as “Option Schemes”) under which the Group grants equity-settled options to senior managers and selected employees of the Group´s subsidiaries. Additionally, in 2010 the Group has set a “Adecoagro Restricted Share and Restricted Stock Unit Plan” (referred to as “Restricted Share Plan”) under which the Group grants restricted shares, or restricted stock units to senior and medium management and key employees of the Group’s subsidiaries.

24.        Provisions for other liabilities

The Group is subject to several laws, regulations and business practices of the countries where it operates. In the ordinary course of business, the Group is subject to certain contingent liabilities with respect to existing or potential claims, lawsuits and other proceedings, including those involving tax, labor and social security, administrative and civil and other matters. The Group accrues liabilities when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and it can reasonably estimate them. The Group bases its accruals on up-to-date developments, estimates of the outcomes of the matters and legal counsel experience in contesting, litigating and settling matters. As the scope of the liabilities becomes better defined or more information is available, the Group may be required to change its estimates of future costs, which could have a material effect on its results of operations and financial condition or liquidity. There have been no material changes to claimed amounts and current proceedings since December 31, 2017 .

25. Disposals

In May 2018, the Group completed the sale of Q45 Negócios Imobiliários Ltda., a wholly owned subsidiary, which main underlying asset is the  Rio De Janeiro Farm, for a selling price of US$ 34 million (Reais 120 million), which was fully collected as of the date of these financial statements. . This transaction resulted in a gain of US$ 22 million included in “Other operating income” under the line item “Gain from the sale of subsidiaries”.

In June 2018, the Group completed the sale of Q43 Negócios Imobiliários Ltda., a wholly owned subsidiary , which main underlying asset is the Conquista Farm, for a selling price of US$ 18.4 million (Reais 68 million), of which US$ 2.0 million (Reais 7.5 million) has already been collected and the balance will be collected in four annual installments starting in June 2019. This transaction resulted in a gain of US$ 14 million, included in “Other operating income” under the line item “Gain from the sale of subsidiaries”

27.    Basis of preparation and presentation

The information presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements (“interim financial statements”) as of September 30, 2018 and for the nine -month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is unaudited and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Group as of September 30, 2018 , results of operations and cash flows for the nine -month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 . All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. In preparing these accompanying interim financial statements, management has made certain estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the financial statements and disclosures of contingencies. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of annual results.

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, ‘Interim financial reporting’ and they should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 , which have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs.

A complete list of standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards published but not yet effective for the Group is described in Note 2.1 to the annual financial statements.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 except for the changes in accounting policies explained below or if those policies or methods have been changed, the description of the nature of the changes are included in the present note in “(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Group”.

Description of accounting policies changed during the period.

During the period ended September 30, 2018, the group has adopted the revaluation model for its Farmlands within Property, plant and equipment. Previously, the Company valued all these group of assets under the cost model. These amendments have resulted in an increase of Property, plant and equipment of US$ 578 million. This higher valuation resulted in an increase of the deferred tax liability of US$ 148 million. This change in accordance with IAS 16 is applied prospectively.

Also the Company also adopted the revaluation model for its Investment property. The higher valuation resulted in an increase in Retained earning of US$ 45 million; an increase in Investment property of US$ 40 million as of December 31, 2017and an increase in Deferred tax liability of US$ 12 million. This change was applied retrospectively, in accordance with IAS 8. Consequently, prior year figures have been recast, as shown below:

The Company considers these changes better reflects the current value of its Farmlands and Investments properties; and therefore provides more relevant information to management, users of the Financial Statements and others.


According with the changes, the new accounting policies are as follows:

Property, plant and equipment

F armlands are recognized at fair value based on periodic, but at least annual, valuations prepared by an external independent expert. A revaluation reserve is credited in shareholders’ equity. All other property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Historical cost comprises the purchase price and any costs directly attributable to the acquisition. Under the definition of Property plant and equipment is included the bearer plants, such as sugarcane and coffee trees.

Where individual components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items, which are depreciated separately.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of income when they are incurred.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognized within “Other operating income, net” in the statement of income, except for the portion of the revaluation reserve, which would be transferred to Retained Earnings.


Investment property
 
Investment property consists of farmland for rental or for capital appreciation and not used in production or for sale in the ordinary course of business, and it is measured at fair value. net of any impairment losses if any. The changes of the Fair value, which is based on an independent external expert, impacts the profit and loss of the period, in the line item Other operating income, net.


A complete list of standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards published but not yet effective for the Group is described in Note 33.1 to the annual financial statements.

27.    Basis of preparation and presentation (continued)



(a) New and amended standards adopted by the Group:

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period and the Group had to change its accounting policies as a result of adopting the following standards:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, and
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
    
The impact of adopting IFRS 15 and IFRS 9 was not significant and therefore no cumulative effect upon adoption was recorded. The adoption of IFRS 15 was made by the modified retrospective method.

In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 9, comparative figures have not been restated.


(b) Impact of standards issued but not yet applied by the Group


Below is a description of the standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB to existing standards that have been issued and are mandatory for the Group with closer adoption:

In January 2016, the IASB finished its long-standing project on lease accounting and published IFRS 16, "Leases", which replaces the current guidance in IAS 17. This will require far-reaching changes in accounting by leases in particular. The standard applies to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, with earlier application permitted if IFRS 15, ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’, is also applied.

We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

(c) IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Accounting policies

The Group’s primary activities comprise agricultural and agro-industrial activities.
 
The Group’s agricultural activities comprise growing and selling agricultural produce. In accordance with IAS 41 “Agriculture”, cattle are measured at fair value with changes therein recognized in the statement of income as they arise. Agricultural produce is measured at net realizable value with changes therein recognized in the statement of income as they arise. Therefore, sales of agricultural produce and cattle generally do not generate any separate gains or losses in the statement of income.
 
The Group’s agro-industrial activities comprise the selling of manufactured products (i.e. industrialized rice, milk-related products, ethanol, sugar, energy, among others). These sales are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of returns and allowances, trade and other discounts, and sales taxes, as applicable.

Revenue is recognized when the full control have been transferred to the buyer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, and there is no continuing management involvement with the goods. Transfers of control  vary depending on the individual terms of the contract of sale. Revenues are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, having this full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products.


The Group also provides certain agricultural-related services such as grain warehousing/conditioning and other services, e.g. handling and drying services. Revenue from services is recognized as services are provided.

27.    Basis of preparation and presentation (continued)


The Group leases owned farmland property to third parties under operating lease agreements. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
 
The Group is a party to a 10-year power agreement for the sale of electricity which expires in 2018. The delivery period starts in May and ends in November of each year. The Group is also a party to two 15-year power agreements which delivery period starts in March and ends in December of each year, these two agreements will expire in 2024 and 2025, respectively. Prices under all the agreements are adjusted annually for inflation. Revenue related to the sale of electricity under these two agreements is recorded based upon output delivered.

Financial reporting in a hyperinflation economy

IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy to be adjusted for the effects of changes in a suitable general price index and to be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period. Accordingly, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be computed in the non-monetary items.

In order to conclude on whether an economy is categorized as hyperinflationary under the terms of IAS 29, the Standard details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of a cumulative inflation rate in three years that approximates or exceeds 100 %.
Considering the a significant increase in inflation during 2018, which exceeded the 100% three-year cumulative inflation rate, and that the rest of the indicators do not contradict the conclusion that Argentina should be considered a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes. It is agreed that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Argentina is a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29 and that as from July 1, 2018, it will apply IAS 29 as from that date in the financial reporting of its subsidiaries and associates with Argentine peso as functional currency.

Financial statements of a foreign entity with a functional currency of a country that has a highly inflationary economy, are restated to reflect changes in the general price level or index in that country before translation into US Dollars. In adjusting for hyperinflation, a general price index is applied to all non-monetary items in the financial statements (including equity) and the resulting gain or loss, which is the gain or loss on the entity's net monetary position, is recognized in the income statement. Monetary items in the closing statement of financial position are not adjusted. The Group treated all Argentine subsidiaries as a hyperinflationary economy as all of them have argentine peso as functional currency. The results and financial position of all foreign entities with a functional currency of a country that has a highly inflationary economy are translated at closing rates after the restatement for changes in the general purchasing power argentine peso.

The inflation adjustment on the initial balances was calculated by means of conversion factor derived from the Argentine price indexes published by the National Institute of Statistics. The average index for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018, was 1.14 and the year-over-year change in the index was 1.32.

The main procedures for the above-mentioned adjustment are as follows:

Monetary assets and liabilities which are carried at amounts current at the balance sheet date are not restated because they are already expressed in terms of the monetary unit current at the balance sheet date.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities which are not carried at amounts current at the balance sheet date, and components of shareholders' equity are adjusted by applying the relevant conversion factors.

All items in the income statement are restated by applying the relevant conversion factors.

The effect of inflation on the Company’s net monetary position is included in the income statement, in "Other financial results" (Note 9).

27.    Basis of preparation and presentation (continued)


The ongoing application of the re-translation of comparative amounts to closing exchanges rates under IAS 21 and the hyperinflation adjustments required by IAS 29 will lead to a difference in addition to the difference arising on the adoption of hyperinflation accounting.

The comparative figures in these consolidated condensed interim financial statements presented in a stable currency are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the price level or exchange rates. This resulted in an initial difference, arising on the adoption of hyperinflation accounting, between the closing equity of the previous year and the opening equity of the current year. The Company recognized this initial difference directly in equity.

Seasonality of operations

The Group’s business activities are inherently seasonal. The Group generally harvest and sell its grains (corn, soybean, rice and sunflower) between February and August, with the exception of wheat, which is harvested from December to January. Cotton is a unique in that while it is typically harvested from June to August, it requires processing which takes about two to three months to complete. Sales in our Dairy business segment tend to be more stable. However, milk production is generally higher during the fourth quarter, when the weather is more suitable for production. Although our Sugar, Ethanol and Electricity cluster is currently operating under a "non-stop" or "continuous" harvest and without stopping during traditional off-season, the rest of the sector in Brazil is still primarily operating with large off-season periods from December/January to March/April. The result of large off-season periods is fluctuations in our sugar and ethanol sales and in our inventories, usually peaking in December to take advantage of higher prices during the traditional off-season period (i.e., January through April). As a result of the above factors, there may be significant variations in our financial results from one quarter to another. In addition, our quarterly results may vary as a result of the effects of fluctuations in commodities prices, production yields and costs on the determination of initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets and agricultural produce.




28.    Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The Group's critical accounting policies are also consistent with those of the audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 described in Note 33.

Impairment testing

At the date of each statement of financial position, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment and finite lived intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets could have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent, if any, of the impairment loss. Where the asset does not generate cash flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The Group’s property, plant and equipment items generally do not generate independent cash flows.


In the case of Goodwill, any goodwill acquired is allocated to the cash-generating unit (‘CGU’) expected to benefit from the business combination. As prescribed by IFRS, Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. The impairment review requires management to undertake certain judgments, including estimating the recoverable value of the CGU to which the goodwill relates, based on either fair value less costs-to-sell or the value-in-use, as appropriate, in order to reach a conclusion on whether it deems the goodwill is impaired or not.

For purposes of the impairment testing, each CGU represents the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets.

Farmlands may be used for different activities that may generate independent cash flows. Those farmlands that are used for more than one segment activity (i.e. crops and cattle or rental income), the farmland is further subdivided into two or more CGUs, as appropriate, for purposes of impairment testing. For its properties in Brazil, management identified a farmland together with its related mill as separate CGUs. Most of the farmlands in Argentina and Uruguay are treated as single CGUs.

Based on these criteria, management identified a total amount of 37 CGUs as of September 30, 2018 and 39 CGUs as of September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2018 and 2017, due to the fact that there were no impairment indicators, the Group only tested those CGUs with allocated goodwill in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay.

CGUs tested based on a fair-value-less-costs-to-sell model at September 30, 2018 and 2017:     

As of September 30, 2018, the Group identified 11 CGUs in Argentina and Uruguay (2017: 11 CGUs) to be tested based on this model (all CGUs with allocated goodwill). Estimating the fair value less costs-to-sell is based on the best information available, and refers to the amount at which the CGU could be bought or sold in a current transaction between willing parties. Management may be assisted by the work of external advisors. When using this model, the Group applies the “sales comparison approach” as its method of valuing most properties, which relies on results of sales of similar agricultural properties to estimate the value of the CGU. This approach is based on the theory that the fair value of a property is directly related to the selling prices of similar properties.

Fair values are determined by extensive analysis which includes current and potential soil productivity of the land (the ability to produce crops and maintain livestock) projected margins derived from soil use, rental value obtained for soil use, if applicable, and other factors such as climate and location. Farmland ratings are established by considering such factors as soil texture and quality, yields, topography, drainage and rain levels. Farmland may contain farm outbuildings. A farm outbuilding is any improvement or structure that is used for farming operations. Outbuildings are valued based on their size, age and design.

Based on the factors described above, each farm property is assigned different soil classifications for the purposes of establishing a value, Soil classifications quantify the factors that contribute to the agricultural capability of the soil. Soil classifications range from the most productive to the least productive.

The first step to establishing an assessment for a farm property is a sales investigation that identifies the valid farm sales in the area where the farm is located. A price per hectare is assigned for each soil class within each farm property. This price per hectare is determined based on the quantitative and qualitative analysis mainly described above.

The results are then tested against actual sales, if any, and current market conditions to ensure the values produced are accurate, consistent and fair.

The following table shows only the 11 CGUs (2017: 11 CGUs) where goodwill was allocated at each period end and the corresponding amount of goodwill allocated to each one:

Based on the testing above, the Group determined that none of the CGUs, with allocated goodwill, were impaired at September 30, 2018 and 2017.
 

CGUs tested based on a value-in-use model at September 30, 2018 and 2017:

As of September 30, 2018, the Group identified 2 CGUs (2017: 3 CGUs) in Brazil to be tested base on this model (all CGUs with allocated goodwill). In performing the value-in-use calculation, the Group applied pre-tax rates to discount the future pre-tax cash flows. In each case, these key assumptions have been made by management reflecting past experience and are consistent with relevant external sources of information, such as appropriate market data. In calculating value-in-use, management may be assisted by the work of external advisors.

The key assumptions used by management in the value-in-use calculations which are considered to be most sensitive to the calculation are:

Discount rates are based on the risk-free rate for U. S. government bonds, adjusted for a risk premium to reflect the increased risk of investing in South America and Brazil in particular. The risk premium adjustment is assessed for factors specific to the respective CGUs and reflects the countries that the CGUs operate in.

Based on the testing above, the Group determined that none of the CGUs, with allocated goodwill, were impaired at September 30, 2018 and 2017.

Management views these assumptions as conservative and does not believe that any reasonable change in the assumptions would cause the carrying value of these CGU’s to exceed the recoverable amount.




29.    Subsequent events

As of September 12, 2018, the Company announced the withdrawal of its joint-venture offer to SanCor, and submitted a new investment proposal to acquire two milk processing plants and two trademarks. This new offer was formally approved by the constituent member of the Cooperative on October 31. The execution of the transaction, however, still remains subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedents.
