Castrolanda has a net profit of R$ 287,5 million in 2025.

Castrolanda Cooperativa Agroindustrial reported a record net profit of R$ 287,5 million in 2025, surpassing the performance of 2024, when the result was R$ 273,1 million. The financial statement was presented to members during the 75th Ordinary General Assembly (AGO), on Thursday (February 12), held at the Castrolanda Mill, in Castro (PR).

In addition to the record result, the cooperative recorded net operating revenue of R$ 6,201 billion and distributed R$ 65,5 million in profits to its members.

According to Castrolanda's president, Willem Bouwman, the performance was achieved even in a challenging scenario for agribusiness. “In fact, it was a record year for us, despite it being a difficult period for agriculture as a whole. The cooperative managed, through various projects and processes, to reduce expenses, increase efficiency and profitability of the business. Because we are more structured, we were able to bring an excellent result for both the cooperative and the producer,” he highlighted.

CEO Seung Lee emphasized that the past few years reflect strategic adjustments made previously. “Over the past two years, we have managed to eliminate businesses that were experiencing the greatest difficulties and stabilize operations. This has allowed businesses to deliver the expected results and has brought stability for 2024 and 2025, with the prospect of maintaining this balance in 2026 as well, even in a more challenging environment.”

Financial strength

A significant portion of the proceeds was allocated to strengthening the cooperative's financial reserves, a strategy considered essential to ensure stability during periods of greater market volatility.

“We discussed with the members the importance of financially solidifying the cooperative, and the main way to do this is through reserves. Even with record results, we directed a good portion of the performance to reserve funds, as this represents protection for the future,” explained Seung.

Seung further emphasizes that it is necessary to prioritize the financial stability of the cooperative instead of haphazard growth. "This ensures that the cooperative is able to support its members during the most difficult times, and the market is already noticing this progress," he stated.

Growth of supply chains

During the assembly, the cooperative's production figures were also released. The dairy chain reached 568,975 million liters produced, about 6,1% more than the 536 million recorded in 2024, setting a new record.

In the agricultural sector, 806,953 thousand tons of grains were produced, in addition to 48,066 thousand tons of pork, 20,015 thousand tons of industrial seeds, 73,328 thousand tons of potatoes for consumption, and 11,103 thousand tons of seed potatoes. In sheep farming, production reached 151 tons of meat.

According to the board of directors, the structural investments made by the cooperative will have a more significant impact on results starting in 2027, when the projects currently under implementation will be fully operational.

Regional development

For Willem Bouwman, the cooperative's financial results are also directly reflected in regional development. "It's a resource that the cooperative distributes to its members and that remains in the region. Everyone benefits from this: producers, local businesses, and the regional economy. Unlike companies that direct profits to external shareholders, here the profits stay where they were generated."

With a focus on operational efficiency, financial strengthening, and sustainable growth of production chains, Castrolanda reinforces its strategy of consolidating a cooperative model based on solidity, security, and convenience for its members and the entire regional agribusiness chain.
