Lar Cooperativa bills 20,2 billion in 2024

Lar Cooperativa Agroindustrial recently held its Ordinary General Meeting (AGO), highlighting the impressive results for 2024. Despite the 6,9% drop in net revenue, which totaled R$20,2 billion, the financial result grew 66,1%, reaching R$922,3 million.

Poultry farming was the cooperative's main sector, accounting for 42,34% of revenue, followed by grain production (34,53%) and inputs (15,21%). Lar's growth was also reflected in the increase in the number of members, which rose to 14.156, and in the number of employees, which reached 24.390, maintaining the cooperative as the largest generator of jobs in the sector in Brazil.

The good results allowed the distribution of more than R$330 million in benefits to members. Balance sheet surpluses grew 117,95% compared to 2023, exceeding R$100 million. In addition, the cooperative expanded its operations with new investments, such as the acquisition of a seed processing unit in Xanxerê (SC) and the inauguration of the largest hatchery in the Americas, in Itaipulândia (PR).

The AGM also marked the election of new members of the Fiscal Council and tributes to employees with 25, 35 and 40 years of dedication to the cooperative. The ceremony brought together around 700 participants, including industry leaders and local authorities.
