Agribusiness

Argentina is a global leader in the agribusiness sector, which is a fundamental pillar of the country’s economy and development. Due to its high competitiveness, the agribusiness sector has been one of the most dynamic areas of the Argentine economy, attracting significant foreign investments in recent decades.

Since our inception, clients in the agribusiness sector have been a key part of our journey. We are proud to have provided advice to market leaders in the production of crops such as soybeans, wheat, corn, and sunflower, as well as in key areas such as sugar, rice, beef and pork, fruits, dairy products, pulp and paper, and tannin. Our commitment also extends to supporting crop processing plants, distributors, importers, exporters, and producer associations, thus consolidating our comprehensive experience in the sector.

At Nicholson and Cano, we provide services to local and international companies, as well as foreign investors, including Private Equity Funds. We offer comprehensive advice, actively involving all our practice areas to support the operations and businesses of our clients in the agribusiness sector.
