Sources: 4. Developments: 2. The Argentine agribusiness sector is seeing significant industrial and structural developments. In August 2026, Molinos Agro and the Asociación de Cooperativas Argentinas (ACA) announced a joint investment of over US$500 million to build a soybean milling plant in Timbúes, Santa Fe. This project, which aims to process 15,000 tons of soybeans daily, is viewed as a response to a more stable regulatory environment as the government works to reduce the gap between soybean and other crop export duties. By September 2026, further consolidation was reported as Grupo Faro Verde acquired CeresTolvas. This acquisition integrates Grupo Faro Verde’s production and forestry activities with CeresTolvas’s extensive network of storage plants, agronomy offices, and machinery dealerships, aiming to create a more integrated presence across the agricultural value chain. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-02: Agribusiness developments: Timac Agro launches INVOC and Grupo Faro Verde acquires CeresTolvas Timac Agro to launch INVOC biotechnological crop solutions at Fruit Attraction, while Grupo Faro Verde acquires CeresTolvas to expand its agricultural value chain presence in Argentina. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/agribusiness-developments-timac-agro-launches-invoc-and-grupo-faro-verde-acquires-cerestolvas ### 2026-08-18: Molinos Agro and ACA invest US$500 million in soybean plant Molinos Agro and ACA are investing over US$500 million in a new soybean milling plant in Timbúes, Argentina, driven by government plans to reduce export duty disparities. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/molinos-agro-and-aca-invest-us500-million-in-soybean-plant --- Cite as: Argentine agribusiness investment and consolidation.
