SLC Agrícola and its suppliers
See what we buy and learn about our processes

SLC Agrícola centralizes negotiations at its Headquarters in Porto Alegre (RS) and its Supply area is divided into three pillars: acquisition of production inputs (fertilizers, seeds and pesticides), purchases of materials and services, and purchases of machinery for production (machines, implements, vehicles).
One of the main objectives of the Supply Area is to contribute to the optimization of costs in the acquisition of products and purchasing services, in line with the Company’s strategies.
In order to conduct good negotiations, SLC Agrícola has a trained and specialized team that monitors and analyzes domestic and foreign market trends and based on this information, guidelines are drawn up that allow the best purchasing decisions to be made.
Lasting Relations
SLC Agrícola seeks to establish good relations, always maintaining ethics and transparency as the main focus of negotiations. We practice an “open door” policy, visiting and receiving suppliers whenever possible, thus seeking lasting partnerships, new technologies and good business.
In addition, we value trust and respect, as we understand that these values are essential to achieving good results for SLC Agrícola and its suppliers.
