Coopercitrus Reports 10% Revenue Growth in 2025 and Expands Coffee and Feed Production

Coopercitrus, Brazil's largest agricultural cooperative by membership, reported a revenue of R$ 9.3 billion in 2025, marking a 10% increase from the previous year. Fernando Degobbi, the cooperative's president, highlighted this growth during a recent interview, noting substantial increases in multiple sectors including a 30% rise in fertilizer sales, 7% in pesticides, 10% in seeds, and 8% in animal nutrition. The cooperative is poised to continue this momentum with a targeted 10% growth forecast for 2026.

A significant component of Coopercitrus's expansion strategy is its focus on coffee production. The acquisition of Cooparaíso, a Minas Gerais-based cooperative with approximately 2,300 coffee producers and assets worth R$ 85 million, is expected to boost Coopercitrus’s production capacity. The cooperative aims to produce over 1 million sacks of coffee in 2026, a 20% growth from the previous year's 820,000 sacks. This expansion is coupled with an export strategy targeting China, where coffee consumption is growing rapidly. Degobbi plans a visit to China to engage with major coffee companies including Luckyn Coffee, which has a significant investment footprint in Brazilian coffee.

In parallel, Coopercitrus is investing heavily in its feed sector, having recently opened its fifth feed factory, bringing total production capacity to 480,000 tons annually. This sector is expected to generate R$ 500 million in revenue. Additionally, plans for a sixth feed factory are underway in Araçatuba as part of a larger R$ 110 million agro-industrial complex, which will further enhance production and distribution capabilities.

The cooperative’s diversified growth across multiple agricultural inputs and production sectors underscores its strategic aim to integrate its supply chain and maximize value for its over 42,000 members. The final distribution of profits for 2025 will be decided during the annual assembly scheduled for the end of March. Coopercitrus’s robust financial performance and investment in infrastructure position it strongly for continued expansion in Brazil’s agricultural sector.
