Both Adecoagro and Agropur share a strong link with milk production activity, directly as a producer in the case of Adecoagro and through its members in the case of Agropur. As a result of such association between two similar but complementary backgrounds, the joint venture will benefit from the combination of Agropur's industrial and commercial know-how in the international dairy markets and Adecoagro's expertise in sustainable and efficient production.    

The joint venture will focus its first efforts in Argentina, although its long term scope will not necessarily be limited to that country.
