AFA scl

Agricultores Federados Argentinos S.C.L. (AFA S.C.L.) is a prominent agricultural cooperative in Argentina and one of the largest in Latin America. Founded in 1932 by a group of farmers, the organization has developed an extensive infrastructure comprising 26 primary cooperative centers, various sub-centers, and offices across nine Argentine provinces. AFA S.C.L. operates a comprehensive logistics network, including a large fleet of proprietary trucks, and manages significant annual grain storage and collection capacities. The cooperative focuses on industrializing raw materials and agro-inputs, providing a wide array of services such as commercialization, technical agronomic advice from over 140 engineers, and the provision of agricultural supplies. Its business model is centered on adding value to primary production while diversifying the economic and social benefits provided to its 36,000 associated producers.

This structure allows AFA S.C.L. to maximize the commercial value of its associates' production through a specialized pricing mechanism known as Precio AFA, which is applied to both domestic and international grain markets. By integrating the entire agricultural chain—from seed to food—the cooperative provides essential resources, including fertilizers, phytosanitary products, and precision agriculture services, ensuring sustained profitability and productivity for its members. The cooperative’s activities are underpinned by a commitment to cooperative solidarity, continuous technical training, and environmental responsibility, helping farmers navigate socioeconomic challenges through collective decision-making and access to global markets in over 60 countries.
