Lar Cooperativa closes 2025 with record revenue of R$ 23,2 billion.

Lar Cooperativa ended the 2025 fiscal year with record results, registering a 14,4% growth in net revenue, which exceeded R$ 23,2 billion. The balance sheet was presented during the Ordinary General Assembly (AGO), held last Friday (30), in Medianeira (PR).

The financial result also improved compared to the previous year, with a 6,6% increase, reaching R$ 983 million. According to Lar's CEO, Irineo da Costa Rodrigues, the performance reflects the cooperative's ability to overcome adversity and maintain the sustainability of the business. “The year 2025 was spectacular, despite the partial setback in the soybean harvest in southern Mato Grosso do Sul and the occurrence of avian influenza in Brazil. With resilience and skilled people, Lar overcame these challenges and presented a solid performance,” he stated.

According to the 2025 Report and Balance Sheet, the cooperative made significant investments in expansion and diversification. Ten new grain receiving units were implemented and 20 new input stores were opened. In the area of ​​animal protein, Lar officially began operating in fish farming with the acquisition of a fish processing plant in São Miguel do Iguaçu (PR). The cooperative also started pig slaughtering in Paraná and expanded chicken slaughtering to Rio Grande do Sul, consolidating its presence in the three main animal protein chains.

Logistics kept pace with growth, with the expansion of its own fleet from 1.373 to 1.600 vehicles. By 2025, Lar served all Brazilian states and exported to 71 countries, using 168 ports around the world.

In the consumer market, the Lar Foods brand underwent a visual identity revitalization and gained a stronger positioning with the hiring of TV presenter Ratinho as its ambassador.

A significant portion of the profits was allocated to members. The surplus totals over R$ 101 million, with payment scheduled for February 9th, in addition to the return of capital to retired members, amounting to R$ 53 million. Considering bonuses, surplus from Lar Credi, Christmas basket, and capital account credits, the total amount distributed to members reaches R$ 335,9 million. For employees, performance guaranteed the payment of a full 14th salary through the Profit Sharing Program (PPR).

In 2025, the cooperative also recorded the highest investment volume in its history, totaling R$ 1,379 billion, directed towards strengthening production chains and developing new businesses. The next steps are detailed in the 2026-2035 strategic plan.
