UPL Limited has announced a significant investment of approximately USD 86.7 million (BRL 450 million) in Sinova Inovacoes Agricolas S.A., a key associate entity. This strategic move will see UPL‘s stake in Sinova rise from 49.97% to 55.81%, enhancing its influence in the Brazilian agricultural market.
Sinova, formerly known as Sinagro Produtos Agropecuarios S.A., is a major reseller of grains and agricultural products, with a strong presence in Brazil’s Cerrado savanna region. The company reported a turnover of USD 329 million in 2025, USD 417 million in 2024, and USD 849 million in 2023.
The investment will be utilised for equity infusion to address Sinova’s working capital needs and to reduce its debt. Sinova plays a crucial role in promoting and reselling UPL products in one of Brazil’s main agricultural regions, aligning with UPL’s core business objectives.
The transaction is classified as a related party transaction, as Sinova is held by UPL’s step-down subsidiary, United Phosphorus Holdings Brazil B.V. However, the promoter group does not hold any direct or indirect interest in this transaction.
No additional regulatory approvals are required for this investment, which is expected to be completed on or before May 15, 2026.
