Lavoro Announces Separation and Sale of a Controlling Interest in Crop Care Companies
SÃO PAULO – December 19, 2025 — Lavoro Limited (Nasdaq: LVRO, LVROW) (the “Company” or “Lavoro”) announced today that, further to its previous announcement on November 26, 2025, Lavoro Uruguay S.A., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Lavoro, has entered into definitive agreements for the separation and sale of a controlling stake in its Crop Care segment companies Agrobiológica, Cromo Química, and Union Agro (the “Crop Care Companies”). The Company’s board and management are confident in the value created by this transaction while advancing the Company’s strategic priority of deleveraging its balance sheet and enhancing liquidity.
The controlling stake in the Crop Care Companies is being acquired by certain funds managed by Patria Investments Limited. All independent directors of Lavoro voted in favor of the transaction.
The Crop Care Companies manufacture and distribute a portfolio of specialty products (i.e., biologicals, adjuvants, specialty fertilizers, and other specialty products). Following the separation of the Crop Care Companies from Lavoro’s business and the sale of the controlling stake, the commercial relationship between Lavoro and Crop Care will remain substantially unchanged. Perterra is not included in this transaction and will remain a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
As previously announced, the Company has been pursuing initiatives to right-size its fixed cost structure, to drive operational efficiencies, and to sharpen its focus on its core strengths, so that it can emerge from the current cycle leaner, more agile and resilient. Proceeds from the transaction will be used primarily to strengthen its balance sheet, reduce leverage and enhance liquidity.
