Santa Clara Group achieves 18.3% growth in 2023-2024 season

Brazilian agricultural company Santa Clara Group has announced significant results for the 2023-2024 season despite sector-wide challenges during this period. 

With an 18.30% increase compared to the previous season, they assert that their growth trend "remains robust."

According to Santa Clara Group, the growth stems from "structured strategic planning, long-standing customer relationships, investments in corporate governance, and innovation investments exceeding 8% of gross revenue, nearly double the sector average."

Additionally, partnerships with more than 40 public and private institutions contributed to these results. "This movement enabled continuous development of proprietary technologies and efficient, customized solutions meeting productivity and efficiency demands of rural properties in Brazil and abroad," the Santa Clara Group said.

To support planned growth, the Group also restructured and expanded its commercial team, led by Adelino Thomazini, who assumed the commercial directorship in May this year. Anderson Gusman and Rafael Oliveira became National Heads of Santa Clara Group, while agricultural engineer Glayce Lopes became Head of International Trade, serving countries in Latin America, Europe, and Asia.
