Agropalma

Operating in the agro-industrial segment since 1982, the Agropalma Group—the largest producer of palm oil in Latin America—encompasses an area of approximately 107,000 hectares of land in total, of which 39,000 hectares are palm plantations and 64,000 hectares are forestry reserves.

Agropalma has a fully traceable production chain, capable of supplying fully separated palm oil products and its by-products through its palm and palm kernel oil extraction industries, and through the refinery dedicated to processing crude oils.

Among all company certifications, a testament to its high degree of social and environmental commitment, we highlight the Organic Production certifications (IBD, Bio Suisse, NOP/USDA, JAS), the EcoSocial seal and the RSPO, certifying 100% of the Agropalma Group palm oil plantation area and its plants.

The RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certificate attests the sustainable production of palm oil, pursuant to the Principles and Criteria for Sustainable Palm Oil Production (RSPO P&C). The RSPO Principles and Criteria encompass a commitment to transparency, and to the environmental, social, and economic sustainability pillars, as well as a commitment to continuous improvement. By complying with these requirements, the Agropalma Group contributes to the generation of wealth and well-being for society, as it maintains a healthy balance between the use of natural resources, the generation and distribution of income and the profitability of the business.

Agropalma operates both in the domestic and international markets, exporting around 15% of its production, of which approximately 95% goes to Europe and 5% to the US.

In 2016, Agropalma opened its second refinery, located in the city of Limeira, state of São Paulo, which brought the company closer to its clients in the South and Southeast regions. The new plant features a multi-oil refinery with state-of-the-art equipment and an Innovation Center ready to service the industry. In addition to expanding the Agropalma production capacity, their possibility of producing special fats with high added value was also taken into consideration.
