Irrigation

R$83.4 million

We continue to invest strategically in irrigation systems, allocating R$83.4 million during the year to mitigate climate-related risks and enable two harvests per crop year, thereby expanding the economic and financial potential of our operations.

Debt

R$5.2 billion of adjusted net debt

We closed 2025 with adjusted net debt of R$5.2 billion, an increase of R$1.6 billion compared with 2024, driven by disbursements related to crop financing, the payment of dividends for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, and the strategic investments made during the period.

In the fourth quarter of the year, we received R$913.8 million related to the FIPs managed by BTG, which strengthened our liquidity position and reduced our leverage.

1. Refers to 2nd crops located mainly in certain areas of Bahia and Piauí, where planting a 2nd crop of cotton and soybeans is not effective. As a result, cover crops are planted during the 2nd crop to protect the soil that will later receive the 1st crop planting of cotton and soybeans.
