(i)

Biological assets with a production cycle of more than one year (that is, cattle) generated “Initial recognition and changes in fair value of biological assets” amounting to ARS 1,712 and ARS 9,859 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, amounts of ARS 10,933 and ARS 10,821 were attributable to price changes, and amounts of ARS (9,221) and ARS (962), were attributable to physical changes generated by production result, respectively.

 

Crops and oilseeds

 

The Group’s crops generally include crops and oilseeds (corn, wheat, soybean and sunflower) as well as peanut. The Group measures biological assets that have attained significant biological growth at fair value less costs to sell. The Group measures biological assets that have not attained significant biological growth or when the impact of biological transformation on price is not expected to be material, at cost less any impairment losses, which approximates fair value.

 

Sugarcane

 

The Group’s sugarcane production is based in Brazil and to a lesser extent in Bolivia. This crop’s production requires specific weather conditions (tropical and subtropical climates. The Group recognizes these crops at a fair value net of costs of sales as soon as the biological transformation of the bearer plant is observed.

 

Fair value of biological assets

 

When an active market exists for biological assets, the Group uses the quoted market price in the principal market as a basis to determine the fair value of its biological assets. Live cattle is measured at fair value less cost to sell, based on market quoted at an auction involving cattle of the same age, breed and genetic merit adjusted, if applicable, to reflect any difference. When there is no active market or market-determined prices are not available, (for example, unharvested crops with significant growth or growing agricultural produce of sugarcane), the Group determines the fair value of a biological asset based on discounted cash flows models.

 

These models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including observable and unobservable data. Unobservable information is determined based on the best information available for example, by reference to historical information of past practices and results, statistics and agricultural information and other analytical techniques. Key assumptions utilized in this method include future market prices, estimated yields at the point of harvest and estimated future costs of harvesting and other costs.

 

Market prices are generally determined by reference to observable data in the principal market for the agricultural produce. Harvesting costs and other costs are estimated based on historical and statistical data. Yields are estimated based on several factors including the location of the farmland and soil type, environmental conditions, infrastructure and other restrictions and growth at the time of measurement. Yields are subject to a high degree of uncertainty and may be affected by several factors out of the Group’s control including but not limited to extreme or unusual weather conditions, plagues and other crop diseases.

 

The key assumptions discussed above are highly sensitive. Reasonable shifts in assumptions including but not limited to increases or decreases in prices, costs and discount factors used may result in a significant increase or decrease to the fair value of biological assets recognized at any given time. Cash flows are projected based on estimated production. Estimates of production in themselves are dependent on various assumptions, in addition to those described above, including but not limited to several factors such as location, environmental conditions and other restrictions. Changes in these estimates could materially impact on estimated production, and could therefore affect estimates of future cash flows used in the assessment of fair value. The valuation models and their assumptions are reviewed periodically, and, if necessary, adjusted.

 

As of June 30 of each year, the Group’s biological assets that are subject to a valuation model include unharvested crops and sugarcane plantations.

 

The fair value less estimated selling costs of agricultural produce at the point of harvest amount to ARS 319,189 and ARS 283,714 for the years ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
