Capal projects revenue of R$ 5,4 billion in 2025.

Capal Cooperativa Agroindustrial, headquartered in Arapoti (PR) and operating in more than 82 municipalities in Paraná and São Paulo, achieved R$ 5,4 billion in revenue in 2025 – the highest recorded in its 65-year history. The cooperative's net profit was R$ 116 million. 

Gross grain reception at Capal was 31% higher than in 2024, reaching an impressive 965 tons, while the cooperative's assisted area was expanded, exceeding 182 hectares. These figures reflect the current period of Brazilian agribusiness, which has achieved record productivity, export rates, industrial capacity, and other factors that have positioned the sector as one of the protagonists of the national economy. The Brazilian Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock (CNA) projects the agricultural sector's share of 29,4% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the highest level for the category in 22 years. 

Another reason for celebration for Capal was that all crops saw increased production compared to the previous year. More than 400 tons of soybeans arrived at the cooperative's warehouses (17% higher than the previous year), and corn production was 20% higher, resulting in 226 tons. Wheat (up 52%) and barley (up 18%) totaled more than 156 and 61 tons, respectively. Sorghum showed a 60% increase, the highest rate of increase compared to the previous harvest, with the delivery of more than 55 tons of the cereal.

“The 2025 harvest was very positive in every way, with the receipt of almost 1 million tons of grains, so we gained a lot in volume and the producers were quite satisfied. I highlight the excellent quality of the grains from winter cultivars, such as wheat, which had a superlative production, and barley. Margins are tightening, but cultivating a quality product greatly facilitates commercialization,” assesses the executive president of Capal, Adilson Roberto Fuga. 

The only exception was coffee, which saw 891 bags sold, a 16% decrease compared to the 2024 result, when it reached a record level of 1,1 million bags sold in the domestic market and for export.

Investments

During the year 2025, Capal made a total investment of approximately R$ 165 million for the expansion and revitalization of the infrastructure of its units. 

In municipalities across the state of São Paulo, the construction of a new seed warehouse, a temporary agricultural supply store, and an agricultural pesticide warehouse were completed in Taquarituba. In Itararé, the agricultural supply store at the facility had its facade revitalized and received a redesigned structure to house the administrative sector.

In Paraná, the main plant in Arapoti expanded its storage capacity with the construction of a new battery of 13 silos, which is in its final phase, to receive grains from rural producers during the harvest season. With this expansion, Capal's static storage capacity will reach 601 tons. Also in Arapoti, a new seed warehouse was delivered, and the construction of new powder processing plants and the renovation of the Capal Exhibition Park, where various events are held throughout the year, including Expoleite, are ongoing. 

The industrial yard of the Seed Processing Unit in Wenceslau Braz (PR) will soon receive three new silos totaling 13.500 tons of storage, and in Santo Antônio da Platina (PR), the construction of the agricultural supply store to serve cooperative members and customers has been completed, in addition to a new input warehouse. 

“Capal’s investment plan is in full swing in 2026 and also in the coming years. Some projects are in the study, analysis and regularization phase, but I can say in advance that there will be the installation of a new grain receiving complex in Avaré (SP) and a new structure for coffee in Carlópolis (PR),” reveals the CEO. 

General Assembly

The consolidated figures were presented to the associated producers at the pre-assemblies in Capal's 13 units in the states of Paraná and São Paulo, and formalized at the Ordinary General Assembly (AGO) held last Friday, the 30th, at the headquarters. All items on the agenda at the AGO were unanimously approved by the cooperative members present. 

“Today, Capal is among the largest cooperatives in the country. And, at the 2025 annual meeting, the year we celebrate our 65th anniversary, we honor the pioneering Dutch founders and their families, who took a difficult path but never gave up, with the help of their faith, trust, and perseverance. We have had a successful history in a new homeland. We respect and love our new homeland, and we believe in it. Therefore, we will continue our investments to reach more and more employees and members, in this wonderful model of association called cooperativism,” stated Erik Bosch, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Capal, in his message.

The event was also attended by Capal's executive board, local authorities, and representatives of the cooperative movement in Paraná.

The coordinator of Accounting Technical Consulting at Sescoop/PR, Devair Mem, highlighted in his speech the importance of the Harvest Plan and rural insurance, emphasizing how connectivity in the countryside has advanced and how cooperatives contribute strategically to the construction and strengthening of these policies aimed at rural producers.
