From its inception in 2000, AgroSocio has seen steady growth. The partners developed an innovative business plan focusing on land management and the local trading of cattle and agricultural supplies (such as fertilizers, agrochemical products and seeds.) In 2001, the company developed a new venture, “AgroSocio Invest;” a project that allowed non-landowners to invest in cattle back grounding. “AgroSocio Invest” helped to create strong relationships with local and foreign investors, as well as farmers and meat packers.
By January 2002, AgroSocio was able to offer its services to companies searching for beef by-products. AgroSocio conducted extensive research to find these by-products in the meat packing industry, extending their research beyond the borders of Uruguay to the Mexican, Brazilian and Australian markets.
Later, during the same year, a prominent Argentinean investment group assigned AgroSocio to manage a cattle breeding farm project in Uruguay. This was the first step taken by AgroSocio as a agribusiness management and consultancy firm, now in charge of more than 18,000 hectares in South America. Currently the services offered by AgroSocio, extend to, not only cattle back grounding and feeding farms, but also agriculture.
By 2003, an American and a Mexican company became AgroSocio’s first beef clients. Both trusted AgroSocio to efficiently provide them with firsthand knowledge of the Uruguayan market with both professional and efficient services. From this relationship, and the incorporation of many new clients and markets, the “International Trade Division” started and had a significant growth. Today, AgroSocio coordinates the purchase, quality assurance, exportation and logistics for a diverse group of clientele in the South American region (specializing in Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Paraguay). The main products AgroSocio’s work with include: beef, lamb, pork, poultry, rice, dairy, citrus fruits and grains. The main destinies for these products are: USA, EU, Russia, Mexico, Canada, Philippines, Vietnam, Palestine, Jordan, South Africa, Hong Kong, Norway, Dubai and Kuwait.
