Strategic Investment from Continental Grain Company

20th Jan 2022

At AgroBerries, our journey has always been about growth, sustainable growth, rooted in excellence and driven by innovation. We are proud to share that Continental Grain Company (Conti), a leading global investor with deep expertise in agribusiness, has made a significant investment in AgroBerries to support our next phase of expansion.

A partnership for the future of fresh

AgroBerries currently produces and markets over 50,000 tonnes of berries each year, primarily in North America and Europe, through more than 2,000 hectares of owned farms and a trusted network of growers across five countries.

The partnership with Conti will strengthen our ability to:

  • Expand production assets and distribution capabilities worldwide.
  • Accelerate the rollout of our proprietary varietals, ensuring year-round availability of berries with superior taste and quality.
  • Pursue strategic opportunities, both organically and through acquisitions, that broaden our global reach.

As global demand for fresh produce continues to rise, driven by wellness and demographic trends, berries remain one of the fastest-growing categories at retail. This partnership ensures AgroBerries is well positioned to meet that demand with consistency, innovation, and integrity.

A shared vision

“This partnership is a natural next step in our journey,” says Jorge Varela, Co-Founder and CEO of AgroBerries. “It will accelerate our expansion, bring our proprietary varieties to more markets, and create exciting professional opportunities for our team. Together with Conti, we are strengthening our ability to serve customers around the world with the highest-quality berries.”

Conti’s international network, M&A expertise, and operational resources will play a key role in AgroBerries’ strategic development initiatives. With this partnership, we continue building a resilient, multi-region berry platform that serves customers year-round while creating long-term value for growers, retailers, and communities alike.

With Conti’s support, we are ready to take our global presence to the next level, always guided by our values of sustainability, innovation, and excellence in every berry.
